Can someone recamend a sharpener for S30v?

[68_F100]

I have 3 ZT knives now. The 0350 the 301 and the ZT-9. The edge on all of them is great so far. But I would like to have the tools and knowledge to maintain the edge.

I use stones for all of my knives. I've got a Spyderco Sharpmaker, but I just never got it to work like others do. So it's stones and free-hand sharpening for me.

It takes time, but it's very therapeutic.

get you a good strop and after each use just run them on the strop to bring the edge back and your good to go

other than that pretty much any system will work or actual stones and practice on cheap knives first. the key is to just not get discouraged.

Do you mean recommend?

I like using a 1x30 belt sander with 600 grit belts (you can go higher if you want) and then finishing on a leather strop (also run on the sander).

I'm lazy, so I use a Spyderco Sharp maker. Works well on almost any steel, especially with the diamond and ultra fine stones.

If you've got the skill and patience, free hand stones. If you are feeling really spiritual and become a master in them, Japanese Water Stones.

A Spyderco Sharpmaker works fine. An EdgePro will makes even a slob seem like a master sharpening guru.

Maybe you could wreckamend a better spell check program. Auto correct does funny things.

I like to use wet/dry sand paper on a flat hard surface and freehand. But I guess that's pretty much as a wet stone. The Zt 0350 and 0301 are kind of tough though because of the recurve in the blade.

LoL. Got that right. Recurve blades are a total pain to try and sharpen with stones. You should see the frustration on my face when I'm trying to sharpen my Kershaw Speed Bump.

 

[Yeah]

I have lost track of how many S30V knives I have, but I know I've run some through both a Sharpmaker and a V Sharp, both with diamond hones. Both build a good edge but I'd not want to do it without diamonds.
