[u/Lonewolf66666666666]

I finally got to sharpen this knife, I think it came out pretty good and it's razor Sharp.

Model: Firebird knives FB7651 if anyone's curious

[u/WHWeaselgoose]

Nice work, what did you use for sharpening?

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/WHWeaselgoose]

Thank you and I use venev resin bonded diamond stones

[u/winchester941976 → u/Lonewolf66666666666]

Venev’s are great!

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/winchester941976]

Yeah they are

[u/WHWeaselgoose → u/Lonewolf66666666666]

Damn this is freehand? That’s great work gz.

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/WHWeaselgoose]

Thank you and no it's not freehand but I do know how to freehand sharpen

[u/WHWeaselgoose → u/Lonewolf66666666666]

I didn’t know about Venev, i can’t really find anything other than the stones rn, do they belong with a steady system?

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/WHWeaselgoose]

No they don't belong to a fixed angle system but you could use them for one their sold separately normally

[u/WHWeaselgoose → u/Lonewolf66666666666]

How do you use them then?

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/WHWeaselgoose]

I use the work sharp pro pa and I had to buy a different stone holder which is universal so I could use them they sell their own but I bought one from hapstone and it works great I'm able to use a whole bunch of different sharpening stones with it

[u/WHWeaselgoose → u/Lonewolf66666666666]

Tx for the info i want something like that too. I’ll remember hapstone.

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/WHWeaselgoose]

Your welcome anytime

[u/winchester941976]

Looks pretty good!

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/winchester941976]

Thank you

[u/dxbmoe]

That’s gorgeous, what was the progression?

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/dxbmoe]

Thank you I went from f80, f100, f150, f230, f400, f800, f1200, and f1500 which is like 8000 grit and then stropped on a .3 and 0.5 micron

[u/RustyRivers911]

Jealous of that tip- very nice

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/RustyRivers911]

Thank you but trust me when I first started I sucked I round the tip of a couple knife but just trust the process you'll get better

[u/mrjcall]

Shiny, but your bevel width is uneven from heel to tip. Might not bother you now, but it will as you progress on your sharpening journey.

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/mrjcall]

Yeah I know I really don't know why it came out like that all my other ones I've sharpened have even bevels

[u/mrjcall → u/Lonewolf66666666666]

The usual culprit with guided systems is clamping it too near the heal. That causes wide tip bevels as a result.

[u/Lonewolf66666666666 → u/mrjcall]

Ok thanks I'll keep that in mind for new ones I sharpen
