Hello there !
Even if I am a real Newbie in the Tormek community, I've been sharpening for a couple of years (decades ... D'oh )
I've been using a leather wheel and a leather strop for years. I love it as I really had great results.
Now, the question : the Tormek wheel is "inside out", meaning the inner side of the skin is outside. I used to work the other way round, always using the "soft" side of the skin.
Besides, I use a Cr203 compound I prepare myself, based on Cr2O3 powder and some vaseline fat.
I always got very sharp edges.
Now I wonder ...
Was I wrong ? Could I get better ?
Your comments are most welcome.
