I am awaiting the arrival of my first S30V, a Buck Vanguard AG off eBay. I would like to know the best way to sharpen the harder S30V as I'm used to more pedestrian steels. I currently have a standard Lansky kit and am looking at building my own leather strop out of scrap leather and a wood block. How do you all get a great edge with the S30V?
Thanks in advance,
Jed
 
well it will be like any other knife edge but i would recomend the diamond for ease and faster cut over the stones...
 
I use DMT bench stones - finishing with 1200 grit EF, followed by stropping on a leather strop with green compound.
