What's your 3v sharpening routine?

[Skidoosh]

What do you like to finish 3v to? Polished, toothy? What do you use? What degree inclusive? This is for general use so chopping, slicing? Yes.

Sharp. Toothy. Fine diamonds or ceramic...unless a strop does the trick. 30(slicing)-50(chopping) depending on the intended use. If it's Benchmade 3V, you can usually just strop it on a cold stick of butter

My Bark River Mini Fox River has a convex grind. I just strop it using BR compounds -- black then green then white.

I usually sharpen my cold steel master hunter 3v on a norton coarse/fine India stone, then strop on a strip of unloaded leather. If I ever deform the edge then I’d use dmt diamond plates, but that hasn’t happened yet. Somewhere between what I call “fine” and “toothy” is where I end up.
