Can I hotlink here? Maybe not? My technique is to take a xx coarse diamond stone and grind off ther bevels almost flat to the stone. (HARD work, unless you have that 120 grit DMT) Then I convex and clean up the old fashioned way, with sandpaper on my strop, going from 80 grit to 600. Then I strop it to a mirror polish. Takes freehand about 20-40 mins depending on how thick the knife is., but I learned on Rangers, (which have the thickest edges I've ever seen) So I've learned a few tricks, like using circular motions on the stone for the belly and tips. P.S. I can whittle hair with this knife now! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
