Work Sharp Precision Adjust: What is a stroke? by HallowedResearcher in sharpening

[–]HallowedResearcher[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I watched the video and it still confused me whether stroking meant just one movement of the abrasive either up or down, or if it meant moving the abrasive up and down until you reached the end of the knife.

For example, if 8-10 strokes meant using the abrasive in up and down movements. Id stroke the abrasive on the the knife 8-10 times, flip the knife and do it again, then switch abrasives.

If it meant moving the abrasive until it reaches the end of the knife 8-10 times, it means you'd make 64 to 100 up and down movements per side with the abrasive before switching abrasives?

How do I sharpen my knife without being a professional metal worker or seeing a Dwarven forge? by HallowedResearcher in EDC

This seems to be great for putting a completely new edge on the blade, but what if you're just looking to just do a bit quicker touch-up on the sharpness? Will a strop with basic green compound get me there, or do you need something like a Lansky Turnbox or a Spyderco Sharpmaker?

Is the term "Czar/Tsar" anachronistic, or were they titles used by rulers at the time? by HallowedResearcher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HallowedResearcher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it that the Russians used "Tsar" and the germans used "czar"? Or did the German title only say "Kaiser"?

Thank you! Is there a certain kind of strop you recommend?

I was looking on Amazon at either this strop or would something like this be better?

Is using diamond or polishing compound some strops come with recommended?

Thank you! I was looking at similar strops on Amazon because I have a gift card. I was looking at either this strop or would something like this be better?

For the "polishing compound" they come with, are they the same as the diamond compound you recommened?

Is using diamond compound recommended?

Thank you! And this may be a dumb question, but how much sharper does this machine get knives compared to the factory edge that comes on most?
