meaning me . . .
I don't know I was going along . . . being my normal butt head self when I said. . .

Once I started using guided systems early on it was extremely easy to get fantastically sharp edges. From there I suppose it is easy enough to "ruin" them into some version of toothy if you like that.

What do you think ?
Any advantage to going up to say 4,000 or 8,000 . . . debure and finalize the edge . . .
then
and this is the brilliant bit that promises to revolutionize the cutting edge world as we know it . .
. . . pregnant pause . . .
. . . keep 'em waiting for it . . .
no . . . come on in ! There is still some standing room over there.
Bar 's over there . . . may I pour you a beverage ? Cash only. Sorry . . .
. . . oh . . . yes . . .
sorry . . . where were we ? ? ?
:)

So once the edge is good and refined
then . . .
you take the 400 stone over it and maker 'er toothy ! ! ! ! ! !

I always knew I was special. That one day I would change the world.
People have always said, not to me, that I was "special". I never payed much attention to the quotation marks.

So what do you think . . . shall we make a sticky right off or does this need a cursory glance ?

Ummmm, couldn't you just stop at 400?

Or go to 400 and do a very light micro with a 8k at a slightly higher angle?

LMAO!!

I'm a toothy kinda sharpener and, well, I find your posts greatest value to be in its humorous delivery, not that a 400 grit finish is anything to laugh at.
 
:p

Recent classic Wowbagger posts:

On the subject of the thread: I think 400 is a fine finishing grit (followed by a strop). I've been finishing a lot of knives on either my 400-grit Arctic Fox stone, a DMT coarse (320), or even a Crystolon fine (280). Getting things really sharp with all of these.

Coarse is good. 400 is good. I think the key thing is, it helps to finish/refine with maybe a Spyderco F/UF rod (which I think OP already does), and a strop.
