hi chaps
since getting a Konosuke i rarely use my Masamoto gyuto
so i thought i'd have a go at re-profiling the Masamoto
i wasn't sure if i'd need to take metal off the blade, or the spine, or a combination of both
here's a pic of the Masamoto:
and here's a pic of the Konosuke. it's this profile that i'm hoping to get close to with the Masamoto:
so i took both of those pics into photoshop and had a fiddle. ended up with this image. decided i'd rather leave the blade side as is and just fiddle with the spine side:
then i took a sharpie and marked on the Masamoto what i'm thinking about taking off:
i'm planning on using a #120 grit silicon carbide sharpening stone to take off the area's marked with the sharpie
what do you guys think? good idea, bad idea, anything you'd do different?
