Bro, thank you so much for these videos. Brand new to freehand sharpening and you have really helped me. Really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Don't ever feel like you need to rush or edit a video. I think that is what makes your videos so good. I see what your doing, how long it takes and I don't wonder what happened during an edit. Keep'em coming and stay safe

Will do, and thank you.

I love the edges I get from my diamond plates, they give such a sticky toothy edge.

I like the Dia-Sharp plates for setting the apex. They’re very flat, they work the same way on any steel, and they’re really easy to take care of. Last a very long time too, I know someone who’s been using the same DMT Fine plate for just a bit under 20 years now.

That's what I use them for. And yes the older ones are great.

The really really light pass is another good one. 👍

Yes sir I gotta get me some of those. The diamond stone's I've got are ancient. LOL 😂

Good video great information.

You mentioned in one of your other videos that dmt isn’t any good anymore. Should I not buy a new 1200 extra fine dmt? If not what should I get instead ?

What are you spraying on the stone

Maybe I missed this in a previous video... I was wondering what you don't like about Gerber? I don't have any of their knives, but I do have the Suspension NXT multi-tool.

How does using the Extra Fine Diamond as a Strop with pulling the edge away from stone as opposed to edge leading into stone?

I'm sure it can be done. Everyone sharpens different. And as long as you produce results. Then it's good in my book.

Maybe I missed it in the video, but what’s the stuff you sprayed on the stone? I saw you shake the spray bottle so I figured it wasn’t just water.

I don't think so

I *know* this is the final stone anyone really needs (you don’t even really need this much)…but the xx-fine is my favorite diamond plate, period. I know that an 8000 grit plate is ridiculous and nobody needs one, ever. But just a few light passes after my fine plate and it speeds the entire process up incredibly. I think what’s happening is that it’s oblitering any remaining burr from 1200 while adding basically nothing in that dept…so by the time you strop, it’s just “SHHHINGGGG” almost immediately. I don’t do it on every knife…cardboard knives suffer from such treatment. But my general, “do it all” pocket knives seem like they really benefit.

I tried the eef dmt and didn't care for it. And it's to much of a grit jump for me. You don't get a truly refined edge. A strip would do just as good if your gonna go that route

I just bought a set of DMT stones and it says not to use oil, just water or use dry. I'm curious what you're using there.

The lapping film worked awesome on primary bevel, but on secondary bevel it can gouge the sheet if there is a burr. also they load up quickly. as far as DMT; I'm going to do one side of knife with continuous and the other side with non continuous and examine under microscope.

Silverline is not the best compound you can get. Although it will work ok. But you won't get optimal performance. Because : It's a polishing and buffing compound. It has more wax than effective compound. Reason being it the waxes have binders in it to hold it to wheels for high speed so it don't sling it off. Now... If you get some true strop compound like pasta goi it will have 100% compound. And yeild better results. For M390 you need good stuff or the steel won't be brought to full potential. And a much finer stone than the dmt ef. It's a rabbit hole man. I assure you.

I know i have asked this before, but since i have asked have you purchased any more dmt plates. I hope the QC has gotten better. I bought a xxc for lapping waterstones and it was consistent, now i need a fine. I like to stop at 600, prior to translucent or ceramic. Gives a balance of keeness, and bitey edge.
