[Woodcarver] Diamond Paste

[Daniel Heine]

Wilson,

I buy .5 micron PSA sheets from Lee Valley. I put it on a homemade wooden
strop board, and use it to strop my chip carving knives. I have found that
it works very well, and minimizes the risk of dulling the edge with softer
leather.

Good Carving,
Dan

BlankHello To All
A sharpening question for the group.  Has anyone used diamond paste in the
sharpening process?  Is it even recommended?  What "micron" (size) is best?
Even more basic...how is it used?  What are some of the other polishing
compounds available?  I normally use waterstones (4000 & 8000) and a leather
stop, and have been told polishing compounds such as diamond paste would add
to the sharpness of my gouges and knives.  Any comments?
