Well, I haven't used this stone for years so, at least 1 too many lol.

I have too many stones. There. I said it out loud. Gotta let this one go. $70 PayPal gets it shipped in continental US Used very little.

$200 shipped in the Continental USA I am the second owner and only touched up the edge twice. It's never been thinned that I know of. The carbon steel core takes a great edge. Fit and finish is excellent. The tip was damaged when I got it and repairing it is beyond my skills.

Wonder what makes the stainless so sticky?

Thanks

Thanks sodogy

Have you used one of those? How is the steel? The making of video doesn't inspire me.

Sigh, unfortunately that amounts to 2 or 3 shops here in town and they only carry 1 or 2 knives of dubious quality.

Wow that's beautiful.

Thanks all.

Wow! Thank you for the great pictures!

Thanks. I didn't mean a tire like a tire tread but rather the wheel on the shaft is metal and has spokes and the abrasive surface at the edge is like a tire on that wheel. So the abrasive is one piece?

I have been watching knifemaking videos on youtube and the large water cooled grinding wheels common to many shops have me curious. Most look like wagon wheels with abrasive tires. Does anyone know how they are constructed? Are the abrasives indeed wheels or are they pieced together in segments?

I've been looking at the Chan Chi Kee cleavers on chefs mall but I thought I'd try to find a US retailer first. Is there anyone who carries them?

I wish they had a better choil shot but from that angle they look awfully thick.

They had 2 varieties. One looked like a conglomerate. Dime sized chunks of random color and texture. Pretty but terrible for my purposes. The other is called montauk. Google's suggests its Brazillian.

You're quite correct but missing the point. Making stuff is fun.
