Some Edges through the microscope

Linear sharpener is no good. Spyderco Sharpmaker is very good. Convex strop is extraordinarily good.

virtuovice, have you had any experience with Lansky sharpenin

[virtuovice]

@shaokem No, I haven't. Thanks.

What are you referring to with the term 'convex strop'? 

[virtuovice]

@halfassedfart I mean the convex edge knife is sharpened with the compound loaded leather strop. Therefore the edge is extremely smooth and sharp. Thanks!

[halfassedfart]

@virtuovice Thanks for the clarification. I've seen references to sharpening a convex edge using a sort of 'suspended' belt of abrasive material, and I was wondering if that was the same principle that you were applying with the leather strop.

[virtuovice]

@halfassedfart Thank you! My leather strop is settled on a wood paddle.

thank you wako,,,, i think a microscope is the single most value in working a blade ,,, i have a small microscope but it is better than not having one

@LiFetommi Thanks. I use Nikon Fieldmicroscope. This binocular microscope is essential for my knife care now. I checked up Nikon Fieldmicroscope mini very recently in a camera shop. The mini has the same optical performance and more portability. But it doesn't have lighting system and whose top of the pillar touches my nose while observing because the eye pieces are short and the pillar top design is round shape. But I am wanting the mini, too.
