the cutting edge (i.e. with the cutting
edge ahead) is a popular method. And as
so often in life, there is not one correct
method here - trying out and finding the
personally preferred method is the way
to go.
When sharpening, it is essential
to maintain the correct angle. When
sharpening on the stone, on the one
hand, it has to be determined correctly
and, on the other hand, to be constantly
maintained during the entire sharpening
process, which of course requires some
practice and experience.
If you appreciate the traditional method
but are open to more modern materials,
you can of course also consider ceramic
or diamond coated bench stones. While
the handling is identical to water or oil
stones, it can usually be dispensed with
oil or water, and the wide range of grits
also offers all options.
It is important that after creating a burr,
depending on the grinding method, it
is removed cleanly. For this purpose, a
leather strop will do, which, possibly also
treated with abrasive paste, represent the
final step and the cutting edge “meets the
finishing touch.”
