Tora used to have a video about it, But seems to be not around anymore.
Materials
-Kukri or any convexed blades.
-Wet Sandpaper from 400-2000 grit
-Eva foam in a thicker slab
-water and spray
-gloves is optional but cleaner
-chamois wipes
Techniques
-wet the sandpaper with water spray until even coating
-drag or strop the blades from spine to blade, the eva foam will form to the convex grind if the pressure and angle is correct
-apex, all about the apex
-8-12 strokes each side is adequate, anymore and it's simply grinding too much
-water down and wipes away each grit
-for final touches a leather strop and compound does wonders to very hone the blade.
-once again, it's all about the apex
if in doubt, there are other youtube demos out there than can do a better job of showing how to sharpen blades. But in terms of big blades, the wide and easy to use wet sandpaper with eva foam will do the trick for me.
