GH, I rough in the cutting edge with a belt sander and do the rest with different stones finishing with a leather strop.

The first one is my favorite by a hair because I really like the ball end grips but number two has a better blade profile and I prefer bone slabs, but this is just my humble opinion.  Both are outstanding knives though and I'd be proud to own either one.

These knives are at home at my place. One for me and one for my wife.
I wanted a knife that had a thicker blade then most makers were putting out.
As nice as these pictures look, they can not convey how these knives feel in
your hand. I feel they are a completely balanced tool. The blade length, depth, width are appropriate
to the handle size. The craftsmanship is exactly what you would hope and expect to find
in a knife in this price range. I would not hesitate to purchase another knife from Lone Hunter Knives
