Quoted By:
I don't waste time going up the grits and playing with half a dozen stones anymore.
Now I just use two stones and a strop.
I start with heavy strokes on a 36grit scythe stone to bring up a burr or set the bevel.
Then on to a 400-600 grit natural stone to refine the edge and I finish with a light micro bevel.
Final step is a quick polish on a 1.5" paddle strop with white/green compound.
