I can't seem to get a great edge on my bk2.
ESEE 4 is easier to sharpen for me.
My Moras are really sharp.
Kabar Cutlass machete - really sharp.
Axes -- super sharp.
What am I doing wrong with the bk2? I can't figure it out.
I use soft and hard Arkansas stones. The angle just feels too steep - but I marked the factory edge with a sharpie several times to make sure I was staying in the correct angle.
I read some of Old Jimbos advice and it did not help.
The knife was okay-ish sharp out of the box - but not sharp enough.
Anyways -- I like to manually sharpen without expensive jigs. Sometimes I use sandpaper on a sheet of glass. But mostly the stones and a good stropping with green paste. I tried the mousepad and sandpaper on another knife, but did not like the convex edge all that much.
Any tricks or advice to help me sharpen a bk-2.
