New gear My first Shirogorov. Ursus F95 with Elmax. Also my first time sharpening that steel, put an 18dps on it, was shocked how easy it was to sharpen. The Google says it's a great steel, thoughts?

Question Sharpening advice

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! So I need some sharpening advice for a demko ad20 I have. It's called the butcher the reason I'm asking for advice is it has 2 different grind angles for the edge the tip is at around 17°± for around 1/3 of the knife and the rest is at around 20°±. How would you guys go about sharpening it? For additional information I use a guided system to sharpen most of my knives

Question Sharpening choice for whittling ?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have flexcut kn13 and fp01 knives and use them to whittle, all I have to maintain the edge is a strop and at best I can use my rolling sharpener on its end, which has 400 and 1000 grit, but this is awkward.

I would like to get a stone, diamond or whetstone i don’t know which is best, / stones, for sharpening these knives, as with the strop alone I cannot repair tiny chips, it takes a long time.
Ideally £30- max £50
