This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much for making it. I've always felt intimidated with sharpening my whittling knives, especially the hook knife, and I feel more confident in giving it a go :)

I found so many sharpening vids, but your is the best, very detailed, showing variations... thank you!

[@Dextrolord]

Very sad, but my hookknives got rusty during a time where i didn't whittle. I mamaged to get the rust off, but not without damage. I've tried my best to get the edge back in shape. But while i can get it decently sharp, there are bits where the edge is shallow due to missing material. Do you think i should just keep using it as is, or grind away everything till the edge is completely smooth again? I've been getting decent results making spoons, but currently I'm working with walnut and it's not doing the job at all

How do you clean the Leather Strop? Will it spoil with water?

[@CarvingisFun]

I rarely clean mine off, maybe one a year but havent done so in over a year.
But I use heat to soften the wax and then buff it off. Others use olive oil or something but haven't done so myself

Can you make a mohagany spoon?

[@CarvingisFun]

with enough patience, yes you could.

[@robbedoes77]

I have a regular whetstone but no special oil; should I use olive oil or is it better to use no oil at all?

[@CarvingisFun]

before we go on here, whetstones use water as a lubricant. oil stones use honing oil, which is basically mineral oil.
So if its a whetstone and not an oil stone, water only. I would advise against not using any lubricant or the metal will start to imbed into your stone and reduce the effectiveness of the stone.
If you are uncertain if it is a whetstone or not, put a small amount of water on the stone. if it absorbs the water like a sponge, its a whetstone. If the water just sits on top or slides off, its an oil stone.
As to using olive oil, since it is an organic oil it will eventually go bad and smell over time if you don't get all the oil off.
