I think he would love to learn how to sharpen it properly with a water stone, thank you for the suggestion!
It took me years and buying shitty “sharpeners” that actually mess up your edge to the point where it needs to be reprofiled before I figured out that a simple water stone and a little technique is your best bet.
You can get really crazy about using diamond stones, diamond pastes on a stone, and stones of graduating fineness, followed up by a leather strop, but I find for most low to mid grade blade steels, a normal medium grit and some elbow grease does the job just fine.
Thank you, you are likely saving me hours of research online. I really appreciate it.
