Default Any ideas on best way of sharpening a grafting knife to razor sharpness ??

The message
from chili-girl contains these words:

Any ideas


If it's stainless steel, throw it away and get a carbon steel one.

Begin with a file and thin the angle of the edge.

Then finish on a steel - you can't beat a proper steel for getting a
razor-sharp edge, and unless a stainless blade is made from surgical
steel, you can't get an edge on it with anything.
