After that I touch them up with a steel for a while until I need to reset the bevel NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers

Now I use a Sharpal dual grit diamond stone. It is monocrystaline diamond grit electroplated on SS. It can be used dry, with water, or a light oil. I use kerosene. Then strop on a leather strop treated with with .5 micron diamond grit. Many times all I need to do is dress up a blade on the strop.
