Thread: knife sharpening systems what do you use ?

I use a water stone - double sided Suehiro one with the different compounds 1000/3000 - and then a double sided leather strop with compound that I had got from Top-Gear. that gets my main hunting knife, a Svord 15N20 steel? sharp enough to cut paper without catching. I have a little Knives of Alaska Featherlite Hunter folder that is D2 steel - that also sharpens up really, really nicely with this system. The strop really polishes that edge and significantly improves it from what I could get with either a fine oilstone or fine waterstone alone. Fully recommended.

Any input from those that use Elmax or 3v steels?
