I will say, beware of a wire edge and on't underestimate a leather strop. Actually 2, one plain leather and the other with rouge.

Remember, it's easier to keep an edge than put one back on.



I definitely need to get me a strop or two. I really just plain need to learn how to put and keep an edge on a knife. I'm fine with stones and a strop if you folks think that's better than the sharpening systems available. I just don't have any sharpening skills at this point and a system that guarantees me a correct angle, seems like the route to go. Really just want to come up with something and learn it ... and learn it good! Then stick with it.
