I am fascinated with this business of sharpening with such coarse grits. This doctrine is almost wholly confined to Edge On Up materials/videos and to a larger degree, this forum. I've tried it and it not only produces what I would call good results but, in my opinion, superior results for kitchen use cutlery. I have been limited in my experimentation to a Work Sharp and a modified Sharp Pad using different abrasives and grits via the local hardware store. I think I'm ready to step up to a Kalamazoo though. I don't expect sharper edges but I do expect sharp edges more quickly.
I'm a true believer now. I was going to use the term "convert" but before edge on up products and this forum I didn't know enough to be able to be called a convert. Raise a burr and then remove the burr. The essence of sharpening. Thanks to everyone for shedding light on this philosophy. I simply cannot express my appreciation enough.
