This is the first time I've had to sharpen my RAT3 since I got it 3 months ago. First I roughed it up a little on my Cabela's diamond stone then I went to the Lansky Ceramic rods. I have the one with the pre-drilled holes that set the rods at pre-determined angles; crock box I think it's called. Anyways I first tried the coarse rods on the more open angle and the fine rods on the smaller angle and this usually works well for my other knives, however this D2 proved difficult. I stropped endlessly on my Jemco strop on the leather and on the underside strap. Still nothing. I finally tried coarse rods on the small angle holes and then stropping to no avail. What's the trick to D2?
