I recently picked up a Wetterlings Wildlife hatchet and am haveing some trouble getting it shaving sharp. I am new to the Mousepad technique and would appreciate any tips.

Thanks in advance...

Convex Grind Shapening

The trick is to get a good thick mouse pad (s), some decent adhesive and start some fine grit wet/dry sandpaper...go slow and try to finish up with a strop.

Tip:
You don't have to press real hard when you are sharpening.
(If you press too hard the mouse pad come up and kills the edge.)
:D
 
Thanks guys...I've read that link of buzzbaits...I'm still having some trouble getting a good edge. I just found some 2000 grit paper...up till now I've had 220, 400, 800, 1000 and 1500. do I need to go with a finer paper or just stick to what I have and practice more?
