This weekend I'm going to put a new, thinner, edge on my Artifex. I bought it because it was cheap and I wanted to try out AEB-L steel. It does have flaws in the grind and I'm not sold on the profile but in any case I'm going to thin the edge to see how the steel performs. I do most of my thinning and reprofile work on my Edge Pro so I'm wondering how low an angle this steel can handle and not require touch-up too frequently. Keep in mind I am a home cook but have a knife in my hand for prep every night. Last night was a orange-asian pork stew so I cut up 4lbs of pork roast, chopped garlic, sectioned three oranges, chopped onions, etc. Obviously not much compared to many of you but I do want to see how far the AEB-L can be taken angle-wise.
I do all my cutting on a edge grain Boos block and also don't let my wife or son abuse the knifes so it stays sharp for some lenght of time.
