Diamond Grind, SiC Shine – Sharpening Session with Cheefarcut & SiC Stones

In this session, I take a full sharpening journey starting with the Cheefarcut 400 grit sintered diamond stone, known for its crisp tactile feedback and cutting aggression. The goal — establish a clean, consistent bevel with a controlled scratch pattern before refining it through a 1,000 grit silicon carbide stone and finishing on a 2,500 grit SiC for a smooth, near-mirror edge.

The video highlights how diamond’s fast metal removal transitions seamlessly into the silicon carbide’s creamy tactile feel, showing the contrast in feedback, sound, and burr response across each stage. You’ll see how the bite from the 400 grit gradually mellows into a fine, responsive edge that still retains a touch of aggression — perfect for everyday cutting tasks or testing edge stability on tougher steels.

I also talk through pressure control, water management, and stone feel — from the firm, glassy surface of the sintered diamond to the gritty, forgiving feedback of SiC. Watch how each stone leaves its own texture and tone on the edge, forming a complete progression that balances efficiency with refinement.

If you’re into grit transitions, feedback nuances, or just love the sound of steel on stone, this one’s for you.
