I have noticed some questions come up recently and in the past about how hard it is to sharpen 3V and about what kind of edge it can take. I changes the edge geometry on the 1/4in 3V nessie that I received yesterday and while I was at it I made a video showing just what kind of an edge this steel can take. I whittle a single strand of hair seven times! It took me about ten minutes to get it that way but that time includes changing the bevel angle.

Here is the vid

Do you have any sharpening technique videos?

I checked your youtube profile and didn't see any. Maybe I missed them. You should do some if you haven't already.

Seems like you would have some good points to share.
 
I follow Murray Carter's techniques for sharpening by hand. I just use diamond stones instead of water stones. He has a lot of you tube vids.
