Spyderco fine or medium stone with a strop on a leather belt.
Thanks, yes I'm using the same apex finish - Atoma and Venev diamonds to shape a clean, thinned bevel, then a very light microbevel with the Spyderco mediums, and a few passes on the fines to crisp up the apex. Although I'm using the rods rather than the stones. Then a light strop on smoothside leather, sprayed with 0.25 um CBN emulsion.
Somehow it seems to get a crisper and finer edge than I thought it would, given the carbide volume. It's good to know it'll go more acute too.
Seems you have your method down and if it works for you that is all that matters :) If times get busy I just go 320 (DMT coarse) or 400 ceramic (grinder) Thats just a plain worker edge for me.
