Love the sharpening shorts. Wish these were available when I was learning to sharpen. Would have saved me sooo much time!

I use a strop with compound, and then a second one of clean leather without any compound. The edge gets unbelievably sharp after the clean strop. And most often that strop is enough by itself, if I reduce my burr enough on the stone.

I prefer motor oil and compressed sand dust stone. It's so damn good if you can get ahold of a piece. Sands and polished at the same time. Does it quickly . I like to run over the leather to keep an edge once very sharp. So many right ways of doing it.

Did you ever tested the Titanium Swedge Knife manufactured by Camillus ? It looks strong but ...

Essentially a strop is the finest stage when you are sharpening but remember if you are putting on a new edge you want to start with a course grit when starting out like 200 or 300 grit then work up to much finer grits depending on hour sharp you want it if you want a strong working edge I'd say 2000 or 3000 grit but if you want a much finer razor edge I'd go to 8000 to 10,000 grit then strop it for that final edge suede first then grain side then you'll be chopping and slicing in no time.

I always just used the back of my belt no compound it might not be the best way but gets the job done

My grandfather was a wood carver who made all kinds of hand tools primarily for carving. He told me cutting paper dulls the knife. He also told me a real test for sharpness for many of his knives was cutting single ply cheap toilet tissue. Many of his tools were razor sharp. Shaving arm hair was way easy.
