  Wow I&apos;m not the only crazy person who sharpens backwards . &nbsp;This is the first video I&apos;ve found that shows my method of sharpening. &nbsp;<br><br>I personally like convex grinds and for me this is the best method for doing so.

  Not a bad video about sharpening. &nbsp;Only a couple of suggestions. &nbsp;Super hard super steels really don&apos;t take that much more to sharpen provided you have the right abrasives. &nbsp;A good diamond stone around that 800-1000 grit will get you where you want to be quickly, whether you&apos;re using a softer more budget steel or fixed blade steel, or a crazy hard steel like maxamet or cpm 15v. &nbsp;I personally use Spyderco ceramic bench stones, and had no problem sharpening these sorts of steels.<br><br>Also, you don&apos;t want to align the burr with the apex. &nbsp;It will get you the illusion of a very sharp knife, but as soon as you cut anything with it, it will fold over making you think it is dull. &nbsp;Rather, your finishing passes on the stone should be alternating and very light pressure. &nbsp;This will fold the burr back and forth, abrading it down and breaking it off. &nbsp;Finishing it on the leather cleans up any burr left over, leaving you with a truly sharp apex that will hold up to use.
