I get the most durable/long-lasting edges that way. And between sharpenings to realign an edge, I use a ceramic rod like Bob referrred to. Wildlife Removal, Etc.

I go with a combination of lansky and free hand stones and strops. I can get a mirror finish and smooth shave finish, if I want - but more often than not, don't need that kind of sharpness. that fine of an edge doesn't last near as long either. typically run my regular use knives on a medium and fine diamond stones - then a couple passes on the strop and its good to go Josh

They are fanatics.... they use microscopes and cams to analyze the edges of their knifes. It's an obsession. Looking to purchase Skunk Quill 740 544 6513
