hey everyone..i tried using search function with not much luck. just got a mixed set of kramer x shun and kramer x twilling... I've been looking for honing steels to keep my edge true in between use or when in need. of course the S.A. wanted me to purchase the matching kramer steel to go with, however i was wondering if there were other better choices for the money
what type of honing steels i should be looking for to use with my carbon steel knives. i was told that ceramic wasn't a good idea because it is too hard and can "clog" and just make things worst... someone else told me that standard honing steels included in knife kits are two soft or too gritty and rough and can damage the blade?
any suggestions? i think I've read somewhere that i need to use a FINE FINE STEEL. or if i must ill just get the kramer x zwilling. thanks in advance.
