new grinder a hair raising experience

[midniteblues]

That was just a idea.

This is what i do on my hunting knives.
I only carry 2 when i'm out.
A folding buck and a fixed soild both are surgical stainless steel blades.

Usually during the summer I go over them if needed.
Useing progressively finer paper on a very hard flat block Up to 600 grit. Then I run them on the buffer.(careful here)

There is usually a very minuet burr left by buffing that a lightly oiled strop takes care of.

This makes a dangerously sharp edge that can be brought rite back with a few licks on the strop.
