Hi all,
I am a total newbie at sharpening knives. I thought I would get my wife some really good kitchen knives and invested in some Misono UX10's. Not knowing anything about knives (other than reading lots of good reviews about them) and before long they could no longer cut anything. So I ordered a CD on knife sharping from this site and ordered three stones from this site (500x, 1200x, 5000x) and went to work. It seems I was doing good because I was able to raise the bur and all that and when I finished the knife would cut paper so here I am thinking that I'm awesome and stuff. Then I give the knife to my wife and it still won't cut the veggies. So ... what am I doing wrong???
tx!
