I just use green stropping compound and my knives turn out pretty damn sharp. Just took my son’s Menefee that he used for two deer and gave it a couple swipes and it was hair popping again.

For those of you who use diamond emulsions, what are you using? Do you find them to be demonstrably better?

I am not interested in mirror edges, just the sharpest edges possible for skinning animals.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
I just saw a video on this yesterday about green vs diamond. My strop is a collection of every color and a few grades of diamond powder I no longer remember. After watching this video it seems I might get a fine bristle brush to spruce it up and quit adding so much abrasive.
