Personally, I use stones made from crushed unicorn teeth, with camel saliva as a lubricant. I’ve found this combination is THE ULTIMATE sharpening system.
I find these threads hilarious
Merry Christmas Sam. If everyone used the same steel to do the same tasks as everyone else, then a definitive thread on sharpening might emerge.
Since there are so many paths to the same end, we will likely continue to wander on every path available until the end of time.
My thoughts on many subjects is to look at things as if the inquiry is from someone reading their first post as a newcomer to the hobby.
If someone somewhere learns something new from such a so often repeated subject, then maybe the world is better for it.
