Thank you, have a good day sir.

Great video! The norton crystolon stone is a great stone for S30v, SiC does a great job on super steels with out the deep scratches of diamonds.

Videos are not boring I really enjoy watching your vids

Nice work!

Good as always mate 😊

I use a diamond plate with soapy water finished with translucent Arkansas stone. A leather strop gives it tunes the edge.

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

Your black arkansas sounds really course. What grit did you finish it at?

[@stefanwolf88]

600

Amazing results. You made the comment that you can mess up using the coarse stone, by creating a burr. Does it matter, in the long run, since you are micro beveling? Would the burr not be cut off on the Black Ark? Thanks btw for the link shout out :)

[@stefanwolf88]

Yes the burr will be cut but to me is easier to check for light reflection than feel the burr. Often I the past I just minimized it but not remove it from the entire edge.
