Hey just your opinion on 1095 and 1075 review say 1075 is tougher amd 1095 holds a better edge retention is that accurate or is all to the heat treatment

Nice knife! I just bought some 14c28n steel, so nice to see your process before I get started. Quick question though: isn’t the 16,000 grit shapton stone something like 0.9 microns? Do you notice a difference going to the strop after? I go from a 6000 grit shapton to a strop, but have debated the 16000 stone instead of a strop (because I do a lot of wood carving, and micro-convex bevels from a soft strop are the enemy!) cheers!

@AaronJohnson1979 17 күн бұрын

@@paulkozowyk well for me it depends on what kind of steel we’re talking about, I would never even use the 16,000 on something like magnacut or one of those high vanadium steel they’re way too hard to polish, something like AEBL or 14 C 28N they can take a very high polish. They are pretty simple steels fine structure. Go to knife sharpening Norway channel and he has a lot on what you’re talking about here he likes to de burr on a high grit stone, but only strops at a high angle very lightly just to add a little toughness because he sharpens it and a very low angle, which you have to take into consideration, also what your angle is, me personally I like to finish off with Northwest knife guys strop with his diamond spray no matter what stone I use to me. It just seems to clean it up even a little bit more but the green aluminum oxide compound on a leather strap will only ruin a 16,000 gritstone from Shapton the diamond spray though seems to keep it crisp.

@knifesharpeningnorway 17 күн бұрын

Im sorry i dont know much about wood carving tools. But i would absolutely for a more precise cut go for a fine stone than a strop. Also de burring edge leading and edge sideways can help also
