Sharpening using a Wetstone
Hi,
I've watched countless videoes, but am still somewhat confused. I just want to make clarify my method for sharpening woodcarving knives.
. With knife facing away from me I apply pressure when moving the knife toward me and down the stone ('pull stroke) and let go of the pressure when pushing the knife away from me and up the stone (‘push stroke’)
. With the knife facing toward me I apply pressure when moving the knife in towards me and down the stone ('pull stroke) and let go of the pressure when pushing the knife away from me and up the stone (‘push stroke’)
So on both sides (knife facing away and towards me) pressure is applied on the pull stroke in toward me. Is this correct?
Sorry for any confusion. This is really tripping me up.
Kind regards
