I haven’t. Don’t have the patience.
Saw some pics on google from folks that did it. Usually with some apparatus. Wicked edge or something.

No need for the exclamation point. Just asking.

Actually that was a mistake. I don't know why that is there or the space either.

There is a maker on this thread I've bought from, and 3 other posters who've pm'd me for advice over the 15 years I've contributed to this forum, who haven't stepped forward for [bleep] here... So...I'm done... Sad
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Check your calendar monthly.
When there is a full moon strange stirrings inside can cause us to step out of (or maybe into) character and see which is sharper.
Our knives or our tongues.
I wouldn't share this if it was not for the internet.
You won't need to do a DOE to assimilate accurate data.
A Ratio Delay study will do fine in this case.

I always smile at these threads. Tends to be a lot of folks that get too distracted with sharpening to remember the purpose of a knife is to cut [bleep]. Sharpen the damned thing up, rinse lather repeat. I've built knives with damned near every steel mentioned throughout this thread and a dozen more and the worst of 'em heat treated properly, with good edge geometry will still cut [bleep] mighty fine. Just need to be sharpened more often. Usually sharpen easy as hell. Different folks have different ideas about "best'. Find the happy medium that works for ya between ease of sharpening, edge retention and toughness and carry on. By way of context, I was raised to use a strop to remove the wire and smooth/realign the edge, not remove or cut an edge on the steel. Each to his own. I wouldn't necessarily judge steel quality by commercial makers either. Heat treat standards are way to sloppy across that spectrum..
Lay into me all ya want, but I doubt I'll change as I trust my experience over your opinion...
