For the knifemakers - sharpening method?

Found information on my stone on this site. I have the soft/hard stone 1" thick
combo and I so use the sharpening instructions found on this site, they are similar to what is on the paper in the box. The instructions where under the stone in a small wood box, it's been a long time since I purchased this, maybe 20 years.

recutting an edge after reshaping (by hand) due to improper use... I'm not going to mention names, Crip, but you know who you are... is difficult, since you have to match the original angles, and then hone the edge... no grinders, just stones and diamond steels when I fix blade tips.

Honing/ normal sharpening -Norton 2 sided 10" stone and a bench strop with green polishing compound. Recutting - CRKT diamond wedge, EZ-lap 8" diamond, DMT folding diamond (blue/red), Norton stone and bench strop.... occasionally, triangular files, mill bastards and emery boards/paper... depends on the steel and the geometry. Quick field honing... Lansky or Smith's triangular ceramic sticks...
