You are a master of masters.i have learned a lot from you. I can put a razor, razor edge on the primary edge of the blades of my beautiful ten clevers, chinese and japenese. Thank you very much for your mastery skills. Gary.
Small update Well, its been some weeks...the grinding is done and it’s cutting like crazy I’m pretty sure the edge is perfect.. I think it’s straight but still I’m watching every day comparing it to other blades and make small adjustments when I think it needs it. During the grinding it showed the different layers of steel..it did not mention that in the sales description so that was a pretty nice surprise ;-) any how it still needs a handle to finish it completely.. Gr. R Ps, I tried to push cut toilet paper better then Murray but unfortunately it wasn’t any better.. Not worse also but still...lol
for flattening stones I had good sucess with a very cheap chinese diamond plate. cost 3$ or so, glue bond too soft for anything else like grinding knives, but for stones ~320 grit and higher it works quite well - even for the rather hard shapton GS 2k.
