I was gifted a Roselli UHC Carpenter's knife, and had my first experience with a Scandi grind. Working with this knife led me to re-think what I thought I knew about sharpening. I have since acquired two other Scandi grind knives. So now I'm looking at a couple of my flat grind blades, a small Bark River fixed blade and a Marble's Woodscraft (I think that's the model.)
When I sharpen a flat grind blade, should I lay the blade flat on the stone? Or introduce a microbevel to the edge? I sharpen with a fine carborundum stone, then two grades of Arkansas, and finish with an old stone I found in my Dad's stuff that was used to hone straaight edge razors.
Yes, I've tried the search and looked at the stickies. Any advice would be appreciated.
