<p class=”p1″>What do you think of this idea for sharpening conveyed knives? I’m thinking of loading a series of strops with diamond pastes. You can get them at coarser grits, starting at least at about 40 microns (about 400 grit or lower).<span class=”Apple-converted-space”> </span>I would go through a progression and I’m thinking I will go to the stones for 2200 and 3000 to get a precise edge (I don’t think that fine grit will reprofile the edge significantly and Clay suggests a micro bevel on cones edges anyway). And then I’ll finish with the usual high grit strops (I don’t go beyond 3.5)</p>
<p class=”p1″>These are hard use knives, not pocket knives (Bark River Bushcraft types).</p>
<p class=”p1″>Could this be a practical solution to sharpening convex edges on the WE?</p>
