I was looking for the finishing touch for sharpening and Howard at knifecenter.com recommended the Spyderco ultra fine bench stone.

For the final polish using a freehand technique this does very well. I use the Sharpmaker then finish on the ultra fine stone.
 
M2, Glad to hear, I've had my eye on that stone for a week or two.
Just be careful that the Sharpmaker doesn't round the tip. I've had that happen and hear that the way to avoid it is to stop the stroke before you reach the tip and do the tip on a bench stone.
 
I have the Norton Tri-hone stones, oil stones that I use for setting the bevels of knives that need that much work, then I go to the Spyderco ceramic stones, have all three grits and love the finish they give, lastly take it to a leather strop for a very fine finish. I'd recommend getting all three grits of the stones!

Hey Gary, where did you get the leather strop? is that one you purchased or did you make it yourself?
 
Hermie, made myself, but I've read post around of a place that sells them along with sharpening stones, can't place it.

But the thing is you need to find a FLAT piece of wood and then contact cement the leather to the wood and rub some green chrome polishing compound into it, though some leave it as plain leather.

Here is a place that might be able to help you out, if not let me know!
