Free Hand Sharpening With A Norton Combination Stone

In this video we sharpen down and dirty, Grandpa style. My Grandfather would spend hours at his kitchen table sharpening his knives with a combination sharpening stone. The information available on this stone from the Norton website is the coarse side is 150 grit and the fine side is 400 grit. I finish the sharpening process with stropping the blade with a StropMan Strop. My goal in these last three Free Hand Sharpening video's is to demonstrate how easy it is to sharpen with simple stones. Sharpening doesn't get any more basic, or inexpensive, than sharpening with "one" combination oil stone. The final edge is what is called in the sharpening world as a "toothy" edge. Also, I show a short clip shot with my new USB Microscope. I'm trying to show the toothy edge and the burr. With an investment of $20.00 (Probably a lot less when I purchased this stone years ago) I was able to sharpen this blade to a razor edge. A small financial investment, and a much larger investment in practice, and it's easy to put a razor edge on your knife. Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.
