[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1530835, member: 229"] Getting ready to take the plunge and pick up an 11.5" DMT course, 3 Spyderco 8" stones (med/fine/ultra-fine) and a leather strop block from Cutleryshoppe.com. Been sharpening with with a Lansky and other guides as well as trying out a paper-wheel and other methods for too long now and wanting to try it free-hand with some decent stones. Looking at these videos: Part 1 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNwP-2xBphI[/url] Part 2 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXnSwPhyosA[/url] Part 3 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y68flyZqHw[/url] Part 4 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SvWabXMfcs[/url] Tips [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRsfRILLw38[/url] and a few other videos similar to the above technique. Any free-hand sharpeners out there? Here's a guy who uses a cheater block for hitting that perfect angle (there are 12 parts, I'm not going to post all 12): [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TscN9h-1xQ[/url] Anyone use this technique? I've also seen more and more folks using sandpaper in various grits with blocks to get a polished edge. I hope to post pics of my mirror edge when this is done. [/QUOTE]
