I bought a Glock field knife. I know I know, not everyones favorite but it was cheap on Ebay.
The bevel angle seemed to be around 25 degrees so I set it up on my Lansky and sharpened away and then stropped it. It's as sharp as it can be really.
Then as an after thought I questioned...
Does it need to be that sharp? Will it be more brittle?
Is there a better more durable bevel angle I should have used?
Should I stop short at a certain point? The stones I have are coarse, 120, 280, 600, 1000, and a strop with Dunkle's yellowstone rubbed in. Should I stop at 600? Should I bother stropping it at all?
Thanks in advance
