What Did You Sharpen Today?

I'm telling ya Jeweler's visor is the way to go . Some even have lights built in . Hard to loose too .
In the thirty dollar range give or take .
Can use while sharpening . . . say . . . with one of those stones hand held , edge toward you . I'll do that on occasion . Think inexpensive stainless bur using an India stone to take off the bur before final edge finnessing on the Lansky . I don't have a Lansky but . . . hey . . . I can imagine how useful it could be . 👍

Wowbagger, can you help me with the part about the diamonds? Are they creating a problem that the Shapton Glass stones would not?

The next time the knife is ready for stones, I'll try the Glass or maybe ceramic water stones like Kuromaku's or Naniwa Choseras, but I'll have to do that freehand, as the only guided system I have is the Wicked Edge, and I've only got the diamond stones for it. Usually, I'll sharpen two to four times freehand (because I like doing it that way) and then use the WE to get the bevels back to flat, crisp surfaces. Then back to freehand, and when the bevels get convex and sloppy enough, run it through the WE again.

Thanks for the help!

If I am working on a stubborn burr created by a wheel (hollow ground), occasionally I strop the apex with a flat strop as opposed to a wheel. Doing that strops only the shoulders and apex. It can be very effective on stubborn hollow ground (Tormek) burrs.
 
Customer dropped off several knives, most of which were in decent shape. This little Global paring knife was the reason he sought me out. It had seen some things, but is doing better now!
