Currently I'm using Lansky Crock Sticks(the deluxe turnbox one) to sharpen the blade. Problem is, I want the blade to be sharper, and the tip is significantly duller than when I received it. I messaged cutlerylover on Youtube about this, and he said to use a strop for the blade, and to reprofile the tip. Problem is, I'm a beginner at sharpening knives, so I have no idea how to strop. I also don't have the knowledge and equipment to reprofile the tip. To put the tip into reference, I can press my index finger into the tip with a decent amount of pressure, and it won't pierce the skin. It leaves a mark, which fades away in a few seconds, but nothing more. The blade is a recurve. Can anyone help me?
