Man you guys are so helpful! Really thrilled at everyone's responses to such a (to you guys) simple question, thanks a million!

So ignoring the correct carbide sharpeners entirely, will this be sufficient for the task at hand? http://www.amazon.com/Norton-Economy-Abrasive-Sharpener-Combination/dp/B0068TTVN4

QUESTION 1: Will I need something in the 1k grit range?

QUESTIONS 2/3: Anything else I will need like oils? Someone mentioned a "strop", what is that???

QUESTION 4: Ray, you mentioned chromium dioxide...what's the low-down on this one? What is it, its purpose, and a recommendation?


TO CLARIFY THE PROCESS: Stroke knife vertically onto the coarse 100 grit side a few times. Then grind away on both sides of the edge until it's all even and there's no more light reflecting. This is just evening out the steel and bringing it all down to one level yes?

Once that happens I do some high angle passes on the fine 320 grit side in order to actually sharpen it?

I think I get it based on Cashmore's videos, they were quite helpful! Anything else I'm forgetting??
