Here’s some photos I took in April of 2014. The first two are of a Buck 110, before and after sharpening with 3 micron film. The last two are of a Buck Prince, before and after stropping with a leather strop and 3.5 micron paste.

It’s been more than four years, but I think that the “before” photo was of an edge sharpened to 1000 grit diamonds.
I’m not sure about the first photo below, but for this purpose, it’s not really important.

In this test, I kept the angle the same for the stropping.
