Hello blade forum. I have lurked about for years and have learned a lot from you guys. One of the things I have learned is that most of you are on a whole other level with sharpening so if you would please be easy on my first post! haha
My question has to do with my using my Edge Pro Apex and stones for sharpening my harder steel knives like M390 S30v and Elmax. It sounds like using diamond stones would help. These are hunting and pocket knives and I don't believe I want a super high polish, just a nice toothy edge. Being that the diamond stones are expensive, are there a couple ones that you would recomend that I could get away with for this type of edge? I'm not up on all of the acronyms that keep flying around so that has made my search a little more difficult. Thank you for your help and all of the advice over the years!
