So I have been looking for new compounds to try and have ran into low and even sub-micron grit diamond pastes.
My question is who is a reputable company to get this product from?
Am I just wasting my money? I think the hardest steel that I sharpen is my M-2 Mini AFCK. I think the steel is in the 61-62 range if IIRC. I currently use a block of red jewelers rouge, and I think it works, but it seems to take a while on some of my knives (S30V Seb, S30V Mayhem, M-2 AFCK).
Would getting the whole setup of various grits (40-0.5 micron) and extra strops work to give that amazing final polish? I have OCD tendancies when it comes to certain things, and sharpening my knives has turned into one of them......albeit my favorite.
I have been toying with the idea of getting an Edge-Pro Apex setup, as that is the only fully satisfactory edge I have ever seen all polished up.
After watching you gentlemen whittle hair, I feel the need, the need for keen......edges.
Please, someone who uses or has used and has good input, I need help!
