>>2456933>>2456994Best image I could find. This is the same motion many use on a strop. In my case have used this on all stones. AGRussel claims that it does not work with silicon carbide as it needs the forward motion. I just can say what has worked for me.
In this technique, the point gets equal pressure and sharpens with the blade. Often if you use the forward slicing motion with the point last, it does not get equal pressure and eventually thickens to uselessness. Watch the burr. In this system you can actually sharpen to a "foil" edge. Really hard to remove.
Can't hack it? Get some croc sticks. Most angleguide sharpeners change the belly shape of the blade. Puke.
