I'm new to this forum. I purchased a few Arkansas stones recently, and I'm trying to teach myself to free hand sharpen. I have a K Sabatier 10" carbon chefs knife, and some old Henckles to practice on. I have a lot to learn. Sometimes I can get a pretty sharp edge, and sometimes not as much. I'll be lurking in the sharpening forum mostly, as well as the BST.

Russ
