I have searched the forum for all the sharpening threads but im still having problems getting it shaving sharp.
Its 4 mm 01 steel with a flat scandi grind. At first it had a slightly convex bevel but a kind member over on BB got the bevel flat for me and got it shaving sharp. Ive really used it much since the bevel was done, but ive just used the waterstones to try and get it back shaving sharp, but try as i might, i cannot get it shaving sharp again.
Im using waterstones, starting with 800, 1200, then 6000 with a nagura stone. Im using the technique RM uses in his bushcraft vids but i still cant get it sharp ! Im spending about 30 mins on the knife and doing exactly as RM teaches.
When using the same technique with my Frost Mora i can get it shaving sharp no probs, why am i having problems with the woody which is a much better quality knife ?
Can some kind person help this idiot out ?
Anybody local to Bolton who could show how its done ?
Cheers,
Paul
