A closed loop
I looked at your threads and was not sure myself that why I asked'


Thanks

Okay, so I have been using the method where I lock my wrist and do a push stroke off the edge of the stone. I've been getting consistent, clean results, but I'm actually getting a slightly more acute angle around the belly and tip, yes?

Your not lifting the handle enough.

 

[Trout Hound]

Okay, will have to practice that. Thanks.

 

[awestib]

a technique where you don't lift the handle at all ...

I don't understand how you can sharpen a knife without lifting the handle?

@ Jason B.

If you didn't want a "mirror" type finish on your blade, what DMT stone would you have stopped at? The Fine or X-fine?

Just looking for a nice and very sharp edge for daily/working use!

Thx.

 

[Jason B.]

DMT Coarse and a strop with 1 micron CBN or diamond. Really hard to top those two items for the results given.

Hi, I just found this thread, it's very informative.
Do you think you would be able to reupload the photos from your first posts? The links are broken...

Thank you!

Hi, for what its worth, photobucket was having an outage of some sort (maintenance? whatever) a few hours ago, so all linked images were returning OOOps not found instead of we have outage, to see the outage message you had to click the OOPs images

I see all the photos just fine.

Seems like it's just broken on mobile (Tapatalk and browser)

Just tried on my desktop, and it is working. Thanks!

Yeahhhhhhh...should have read this first...my lengthy thread would not be so and I probably would have learned more sooner. But learning is learning and I have.
Thanks for a great thread, tutorial, etc.
