Jeezus Mike! And I thought I was rough on my knives...

[gentlecook]

thx for answer guys!

this is scratches from thinning on stones?

to Von blewitt:
how much height at the heel in mm?

thx

[bieniek]

Yes



Here too, even though very faint.
That is what I meant that thinning of this thing might get problematic.



[if this is katos grind]
Bacause to thin it effectively you have to go over the most thick part which is in the middle of height.

Now whose fault was that?

something very similar happened to the tip of my Shig, today, when i got distracted and knocked the tip agains the side of the stone. it's all fixed, now. and better than it was, as the tip had gotten kinda high, and this was a good excuse to fix it.

Mainaman it was well altogether too much bashing I suppose.

The heelest chip was my friend who just took the knife to cut one sausage and when putting it down, bashed the heel off.

The rest is on me. When chopping maybe?

Josh, I am not rough on my knivez at all.

But they are tools.

I think I chipped all possible parts of Shig already. Maybe not the heel.
No big deal.

The chip around 8cm from the tip actually helped me flattening the edge profile near the tip, where it turns upwards quite a bit in a new Shig.
