Razor Sharp Edgemaking System

[Dave Hub]

Does anyone have experience with this sharpening system? I have been considering it, and it seems pretty like it's too easy.

What is your preferred method to sharpen your blades?

400 grit on a 2x72, then wd40 on a piece of 1000 grit that's on a mousepad. Run the knife back and fourth at approx the same angle as the secondary bevel. The mousepad has some "give" so it stays true to the edge.

30 micron mylar belt on 2x72, felt belt with green compound on 2x72, strop on leather with green compound - for a convex edge.

For a flat edge I use a fixture I made similar to an Edge Pro or file fixture up to 1200 grit edm stones then strop on leather with green compound.

Thanks guys.

Does anyone have experience or thoughts about the razor sharp edge system?

I haven't used the system you are referring to. I use an edge pro and love it. I highly recommend it.

I have used the razor-edge system for several years. Does a very good job if you follow directions. I set my primary edge on belt grinder then use the razor-edge on stones to finish

I like to set the edge on a 9 inch horizontal disc with 120 grit paper then move to the 2 x 72 wet machine. Once I raise a burr on the wet machine I move to the diamond plate 400 x 1000 grit. When i have the burr established from plunge to tip I remove it with an ERU set at matching angle. When the burr is removed I strop the edge by increasing the angle slightly, maybe 2 degrees. I strop the edge here; when it feels clean I increase the angle by 2 to 4 degrees more and pass the edge through the "V". This polishes the apex itself and produces an extremely fine edge. Fast accurate and repeatable.
