I'll start: a wharncliffe blade should be straight and not even have the slightest belly

Absolute newbie here

Max 70€ budget. Should be very bright for as long as possible (outside of turbo mode)

I'm planning to adjust angles, repair and give knives a completely new look. Something with a fixed angle would be nice.

What is the better drink in the eyes of the fsm? I know that in heaven there is a beer volcano waiting, but still: most pirates drink rum or grog. So what is it I should rather drink?

Can anyone translate Bess tester scores to how sharp something is in real life? Like how sharp is hair popping sharp? What about paper towels?

I have a severely fucked up 5k grit stone (not restorable)

Is it possible to put the dust of that stone on leather and strop with it?

I sharpen lots of fixed blades, picket knives and more. I never had any proper sharpening equipment and I'd like to know for how much I can get a good basic set. The hardest steel I have is cpm s30v

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to get into sharpening. I do have lots of knives with a Spyderco sage lw having the best steel. I currently sharpen on a 600/1500 stone I got for really cheap

I'm looking for a fixed angle system.

Options are

Edge pro apex plus 4

Kazak model 10

Hapstone r2

WORK SHARP Professional Precision Adjust Elite

Which one is best for what?

Does anyone know when it releases for amazon germany? It is available on amazon us for a while

Ive just seen 0.025 micro diamond compound and wanted to ask if anyone had actually used it and if it really does improve anything

It should come with diamond stones up to 3000 or maybe 6000 grit and multiple leather strops. Would be nice if it is available on amazon

What do you think is better? What are your opinions? I like both but don't know which one to get

Its 200 bucks and i would like to hear your opinions

Im planning on buying it but im super prone to dropping my phone
