I totally agree with all you show in the video, it is pretty much what I was taught in the 70's and it still works. Only thing I would say to others is to ignore the so-called need for anything more than a 240 grit sharpening because that was all we had before higher grades came along in the 80's and they worked well for centuries; check out some of the world's best historical furniture makers, such as Chippendale and Sheraton, plus Paul Sellers' video proving it. Put it this way; after sharpening your plane to, say, 8,000 grit, you are going to sand the work back down to 240 grit before applying a finish - think about it! That goes for all your chisels and plane irons (blades). The only 'Scandi grind' knife I have is a Mora 120 that I use for just about everything - it is an outdoor greenwood whittling type knife but I use it for all sorts of things. I have never yet had to actually sharpen it because I strop it before, during and after every use. As soon as I feel a drop off in performance, I strop it.
Not sure how often i sharpen it. I try to strop if i notice it gets a little dull, but if the strop doesn't make it feel sharp again i run through the whole process again. It holds an edge pretty though.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge
This video is brilliant. How often would you sharpen your sfk no 10?
