3M Micro-Abrasives For Knife Sharpening?

[Derek Arita]

I'm wondering if these sheets would be good for knife sharpening? I just got a really nice knife with a 15 degree edge and want to keep it razor sharp, like it is.

I use a 1 x 42 belt for a burr, then strop with rouge on an inside out belt, Super sharp, ane the abrasive on the end of the belt with rouge adds a little bit of serration. I think Lee valley has a leather belt, if you want to get in to it.

Yes, they work great. I get the 3, 1, and 0.3 micron psa sheets from Japan Woodworker and use them on plate glass. The 0.3 micron leaves a mirror finish.
