14c28n was originally designed for razors and shaving blades so it can hold an incredibly sharp edge at low degrees. Very underrated steel. Excellent knife btw, love the spine.

Thank you yeah I never used the steel before but I think I’m gonna continue playing around with it here in there. It’s super cheap. I got over a 6 foot long piece 2 inches wide or 30 bucks no shipping costs because it’s right down the street from me.

All that sharpening is so much work, definitely seems like it’s worth it tho!
@AaronJohnson197910 ай бұрын
I only got to sharpen that much because it’s the first time it’s ever been sharpened. I don’t bring the edge together on the belt grinder i bring it together on the stones so the first time is a lot of work.

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!

@@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.

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

@@thysvorster8960 go to two minutes into the video and I show I’m at 1940 Fahrenheit 10 minutes hold time. And that’s because I didn’t cro-treat it, I just just used my home freezer. That’s why it’s a lower temperature.. if you are actually going to use liquid nitrogen or even dry ice mixed slurry in kerosene you could raise the temperature to 1975 Fahrenheit
