i used a cumi silicon carbide stone to sharpen my wusthof and it made the blade completely dull. any reasons for that? i use the same to sharpen my victorinox and it works fine.
hi, whish grit you think is the best to reprofile/fix blades. the coarse or the medium one i am planing to buy a combi coarse/fine, or a medium one. i prefer the medium cause of the thikness, i have my water stone for sharpening. i want these only to fix and reprofile thx you
In most f the cases I have some cleaning to do after sharpening - to clean the table, to wash and dry the knife, to find a printer paper to cut, to ensure that my cat will not jump in front of the camera - small things like these. I have some videos without editing - check this one out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jk1zhaRRzRc.html&ab_channel=StefanWolf if the link is not working search in my channel - "Norton India Oil Stone - Coarse / Fine IB8 - part 2 "
I do not have reviews about cutting boards but the simple truth is that end grain hardwood boards like maple makes the best companion for high quality knives. I use cheap laminated bamboo boards from IKEA and on the soft steel they are not the best choice. You always can buy a high quality polymer professional kitchen grade cutting board from F.Dick - they are color coded and extremely solid and durable but again - not the best choice for a 150$ japanese gyuto. Do not use ceramic, glass, hard plastic and your knives will show longer edge retention.
Stefan Wolf Thanks for the reply, that was my general assumption but its good to confirm. I have some cheaper plastic ones my knives have cut pretty deep and i have a small bamboo one i use on my testing videos that hasnt seemed to dull anything yet. Do you like shapton glass stones?
