As a survey- how do you fine gentlemen "set the edge" on a completed knife?
I normally take the grind down to finished thickness after hardening (thickness depending on intended use) and then use a 2" 220 grit to grind in the edge, move to a 400 to more finely hone it, then go to the hand stones - diamond and Arkansas finally to sharpen.
I have tried a Lansky - once - WAAAAY to time consuming for my impatience to tolerate. Im sure there are better / different ways out there, as I'm sure I might even be able to learn a few..... What ya'll doing in this stage?
Thanks-
