Blade sharpening

[Miceton]

I use an oil stone for most knife touch ups, but for accurate sharpening I love my Lansky sharpener for hollow ground blades where you really do not want to cock up the bevel.

I think I need to invest in this after a raised eyebrow conversation with my dad when he was showing me how to sharpen his wood chisels! I’m 46!

I’m sure the stropping is removing the burr but I’d like the polish effect on the strop from the paste as well!

Thanks for your advice

Wood plane blades and woodworking chisels ang Gouges are 01 tool steel still the most commonly used . Stropping is called as such as its done on a strop but you then strike the burr off after raising one with a stone etc . we all know what's meant

I spent a fortune on a Tormak T4 grinding machine, missus went mad until i sharpened all the kitchen knives too. Never get it out anymore as she volunteers my services me to her mates, for sharpening that is
Awesome machine mind but use it when she’s out
