I ordered a leather strop with some diamond pastes. The kit includes,1,000, 3,000, 6,000, 10,000, 14,000, and 60,000 grits.
I am new to these diamond methods. Which grit should I use for 15V type tool steels on the strop?

Sister NOk is now on FB only, she has been making training tools for years. She uses the money for dog rescue in Thailand.

Re: Keep moving is best
I know nothing about training others, I am a constant student of any art that moves. One of my best resistance training methods is mowing the lawn or cleaning out the garage. I want to move and weapons are cooler than barbells.

Re: Recent purchase
@Iole are you enjoying the beautiful M390 Native Chief? I have 2 of them in M390 and after I get my part time job I may try to buy a couple more of them! M390 is an excellent steel.
I am still looking at the Chief. I usually study the design before using them. Looking to see how M390 works out ...

Recent purchase
I think I got my recent Native Chief because it reminds me of the Al Mar Eagle, but updated in form and tech.
