Knife sharpening

Im sure this has been asked before, but Im wondering how many ways there are to skin this cat. How does everyone sharpen their knives?

Me, I use a method I learned from Ron Claiborne, Thanks Bowie!
By grinding the edge edge up on the slack belt of the grinder, then by turning a worn out 220 grit belt backwards and loading it with white compound then buffing the edge edge down to finish it up. This works like a champ for me, Thanks again Ron!

Previously I used the platen on the grinder and a fresh 600 grit belt to establish my edge and burr, then stroping the edge on the buffer with white compound.

Just curious how everyone esle does theirs.

Inquiring minds want to know!!

HAPPY HAMMERING!

God Bless

Mike
