Got my first Busse, an orange SAR4!
It will need sharpening sooner or later and I was hoping to get some info on how to best sharpen INFI: what products to use, what tricks to use, how to make/touch-up a convex edge...

Also, I wold like to learn what Stropping is, what materials to use, how to do it...

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi RSCO

Welcome to Bladeforums and the Busse sub forum

Here is a link with lots of information that you can look through. I am sure you will find it very helpful

Here is a youtube link showing how to sharpen a convex edge. (There are plenty of other clips but this is one I have easy access to.

Convexing Tutorial including converting VGrind, and maintenance

Here is a playlist I made on youtube which goes through a full process in realtime, Almost Slow Motion LoL.. of taking a v-Ground edge and converting it to a convex blade.. Just watch the final video for stropping, and maintenance of the edge.. watch video 2 for sandpapering when it goes really dull..

I use my own 3" x 18" strops. Bigger is better if you have the room for it :D
I use a small 1.5" x 6" in the field
