It is sharp! and PLENTY sharp for most <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ... and I haven't even put my final sharpening strop touches on it yet. I like that little extra crazy edge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I just finished it from the belt sharpening a while ago. I don't have a leather belt for my sander yet and have to leather strop by hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
But, I keep some of my old belts and flip them over. I put compound on the back of those belts to get edges pretty darn sharp and pretty well polished that way. But, the belt backs aren't quite as smooth as I prefer and the leather strop still gets a bit better.

From finishing with the belts, all I have cut has been some test magazine paper and a couple of paper receipts I had nearby while sharpening.

It currently makes NICE SMOOTH slivers in fine magazine paper and thin receipts.

And with the re-profiled convex edge, it will cut everything "I" prefer to cut better than it did. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Maybe tomorrow I can polish it a bit more on my strop and make a feather stick or something?
