204 sharpening techniques

#1

Post by Impyboy »

what sharpening technique works for you?



I don't seem to be sharpening properly. i always end up with a rounded bevel edge instead of a flat one (by looking at the reflection of light).



do you have any special techniques which you found yourself which helps you hold the knife at the correct angle? eg. do you have the 204 directly in front of you, or off to the side? how do you hold the knife?

My style, humble as it is, is this:

Put 204 on a dresser, or something else at an easy height to work from. Standing usually works best.

Hold knife in a comfortable grip, for me, a semi-saber grip. Simply draw the knife through. Holding it straight and true comes easily.

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
