Sharpening Beckers

[barber oregon]

I haven't used my BK7 to the point where it needs sharpening yet but when I do, which method should I use and why?


I have:
Sharpmaker 204
Sandpaper - mousepad
EZE-Lap fine diamond folding rod

I normally use the Sharpmaker for my folding knives but they tend to have a different edge geometry so I'm not sure if it would be as efficient for the Becker.

I've used my 204 on mine and it works beautifully. Also, a traditional sharpening stone such as a Norton India also works good - if not better - than the 204.
