since almost every week there is a new post wondering what the sharpening angle should be for a particular knife, or why a person isn't getting very good edges, etc...perhaps we should have a sticky on sharpening and typical mods commonly done in this area of the forum.

i'm thinking links to articles on bladeforums, links to outside sites, perhaps videos or the like.

a couple of nominations:
understanding + sharpening convex edges (video series)
Dan Koster's convex edge page
some info on paper sharpening wheels

any others you think should be included in a "common knowledge" sticky?
 
bummer...did he say why or just that it was a bad idea? i figured it might be something like the sticky in the maker's area...
