Me too I've just been getting into sharpining I run the knife up and down the underside of my belt it's ghetto but does polish up the edge past what my stone can do on its own

OP could you take pics the next time you sharpen?

How long does your edge last?

I followed this guys technique AFTER i used my lansky to reprofile the edge.

I did use it to cut open some boxes yesterday, so i probably need to touch it up again.

Consider getting a coarse grit Lansky coarse stone kit. Knock off the stone, adhere a piece of leather to stone holder in place of the coarse stone. The leather should be thinner, setting up a slightly steeper angle.

I made a strop for my Edge Pro, blank aluminum/leather. 1-1.5 degree steeper angle then the stones is the ticket.

Bought the leather here. http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/200...ip-Makers.aspx
