I hope this is in the right place!
Since joining this forum I have been renovating my knife collection, sharpening and removing rust and such. So last night after finishing work on my cheapest knives I started on my Schrade Old Timer made in the USA 1040T, it is small and has a clip and a spay blade. I was using a two sided benchstone but it refused to get sharp. For both my father and I it just wouldn’t sharpen up to a decent edge. So this morning I take a pull though V sharpener and run the blade through it and it is sharp! Why is this, is it something with the steel? It did seem reluctant to form a burr on the stones could this mean something?
