These are some of my favorite tools to make the process of sharpening a recurved or curved blade simple. The principles of angles and blade geometry are all the same. It's just that stones can't always reach into the middle (unless you're using just the edge of the stone). But there are easier ways than using the edge of the stone if you happen to have the right tools.

This isn't a straight sharpening session from 400 to 34000 grit. I spend a good amount of time explaining what's happening as we transition from one sharpening stone to the next. I took pictures under the microscope along the way as well. Lastly, I offer guidance for those who might be new to sharpening or enjoy watching others sharpen. Let me know what you think and how far you take your sharpening to get a mirror finish.
