You never sharpen a knife edge trailing on a stone. I sharpen an axe and lawn mower blades perpendicular to the belt on the rounded belt pulley easy to get a consistent flat edge.

To be honest when dealing with anything safety comes first

Don’t blame ya there. Ive been the Guinea pig for several companies. Not planning on that happening with my company. I plan on doing this as long as I can. 😊

I also prefer edge trailing and I'm a fan of the 2x4. I still run it on a stropping wheel with compound after though.

For sure!!!! Ya the 2x4 is great especially for a nasty burr that just wants to hang on for dear life. I’ve recently found a good stuff bristle brush works great for burr removal as well. But always after it gets a pass or two per side on the leather with compound.

@Samsmobilesharpening the brush makes sence. I use a wire wheel to hit the bur on serations and it works great!

@@TdSharp interesting. I’ll have to give that a try for some of the harder steels. Some of those burrs are quite tricky. Another I want to try is scotchbright belts.

@@Samsmobilesharpening I've heard the scotch bright is good for running along the back. Haven't tried it personally.
