Hello, I bought a "Midas" 7 piece tool set (with Swivel Knife) from the Zach White Leather company that turned out to be a Craftool Basic Seven Tool Set. Anyway the swivel knife blade is so dull I cant even cut my finger if I tried. My question is how sharp should the Swivel knife be? I plan to use my 800 and 1200 grit diamond sharpeners to sharpen the blade, is this ok?
Also, I see a lot of references to strop the swivel knife blade on cardboard (which I find somewhat humorous) instead of leather - Why not a leather strop? I have several for my Bushcraft and wood carving blades and leather seems to work well.
Thanks in advance
Dave S
