On a 2x72 then a leather strop on a 1x42. If I need to touch up in the field a diamond pocket deal that’ll get me a rough edge.
But only after 3 elk, a handful of white tails and a bakers dozen of a mishmash of squirrel, pheasant, baler twine, a couple yards of cardboard and radiator hose.

Be darn nice to have, but haven't gotten to where I can justify it. Don't have a good place for one either. Build it or buy it? Ever use it to sharpen mower blades? Use a 4x32 with 30grit ceramic belts. Never used anything like it. Eats steel, chews little balls of it right off. Cuts so fast it doesn't get hot. Used to think a 9" grinder cut fast. Not even close.

For those that use the old time stone method do you use the circular motion or straight I’ve found there’s no difference I feel there is some difference. If I want to remove a bunch of steel from a nicked blade I go in circles. More time on stone, faster movement. Quicker. When it's just sharpening, straight is easier to maintain angles. YMMV Exactly. Circles, then finish straight.

I've got a Shrade that I use as a patch knife that's got a blade harder than a whore's heart! I purchased some diamond files that I use to keep it sharp and by damn it's even a chore for these to get an edge on the blade!!

Early last month I did a bit of experimenting on sharpening some of my Knifes I started with a Course/ Fine combo wet stone. Then I have a very fine stone that I just put water on And they sharpened my knife quite well. My Girl bitched at me because she was using a kitchen knife to cut something and after I sharpened then she cut her self. I told her that they were sharp now and to be careful days before she cut herself.
Then I got an Idea about trying to get them sharper. I looked around and found a polished piece of Marble I started straight sharpening a couple pocket knifes Dry.
I got them Hair Shaving Sharp. Today I needed to repair a twist lock electrical cord Y so I took my Pocket knife out and started cutting into the Thick Black rubber end of the Y to salvage as much length of the cord that I could. My Pocket knife went right threw that heavy black rubber end like it was cutting thick clay.
I am gunna sit down while watching TV tonight and dress up that pocket knife. I have never had a knife this sharp in my life. I am sure you guys have made knifes sharper but I love how several of my knives have sharpened up with my Polished Marble stone it getsum sharp.

You have started down an insane slippery slope.
You will soon have numerous strops loaded with grits in the thousands.
When you polish to a very high grit, you lose the "toothiness". If all your knife has is a very smooth, sharp edge, It won't "bite" like a toothy edge. And as soon as that very fine edge erodes away, it won't cut for crap.
Right/wrong, what's best? Depends.

Lansky diamond hones then a leather strop. For the Kitchen knives, i generally just use a steel or in worst case scenario, the worksharp system then a steel.
The Lansky diamond hones keep the Shrade and the Russel scary sharp. I’ve used a Lansky on all our household and hunting knives and broadheads for 40 years. Think I’m on my fourth set of stones for it.

I used bench stones for the 1st 40 years or so of my career, had no trouble getting them to shave my arm hair. Then switched to the Lansky for a couple decades. Recently I've gone to the Work Sharp Precision Adjust and really like the clamp better than the Lansky. I've got the Work Sharp belt sharpener, but don't use it on anything but cheap rough use knives.

I depend on the Edge Pro Apex. That, a ceramic stick and a strop keep my knives in shape. I prefer to take several knives with me when I am out in the field. Can't remember when I actually dulled a knife when processing a dead deer or hog, but it's easier to reach for a fresh one than try to put an edge on one at the time you really need it.
