I am new to sharpening knives but having lots of fun doing it with the KME system. I am using the diamond stones 50-1500 and then 5micon emulsion on the strop stone. These are closeups of my current favorite knife the Spyderco Native 5 lightweight with CPM S35VN steel. I am doing a 13 degree half angle relief and an 18 degree half angle edge. My edges look like mirrors at first but upon closer examination you can see grind lines if you look closely. But it is very very sharp. I had a usb microscope from a Christmas ago.... never found a use for it till now..
the first image is one side showing the edge and the relief.
This next image is looking down at the edge..... nice sharp line...... I wish I had an electron microscope.... would probably look like the Rocky Mountains.
I have a set of Chosera's on the way..... It will be interesting to see how the edge looks after I use those.
