You may have already posted it an I missed it. I’m curious what you use or how you sharpen knives?

I start the edge on my 2x72 belr grinder running in reverse. Once I get close I finish by hand with a ceramic stone. It took me a while how to learn doing it by hand. But I was doing this for years before I started knife making.

Bill's question on how I sharpen knives prompted the attached video. After the belt grinder putting a rough edge to the blade I go to a ceramic stone. The final finish is done with a leather strop. Here's a knife I just finished. It has a locust handle with oak pins, the blade is 1095 that is stone washed. I hope you enjoy the video on you tube, if so please hit the like button. Thanks
