First off, here's what I've got to work with. Edgepro with 200 & 300 grit stone, ceramic hone that came with Edgepro, Norton 4000 & 8000 combo stone.
I was able to pinch some pennies and I ordered a Fujiwara FKM Stainless 150mm petty. So far my experience has been mixed. I like the feel and weight of it, but the edge was not great when I got it. Also, it seems a little thick. For example, peeling an apple can be hassle because it seems to wedge itself. That's my amatuer review.
That being said, I'm ready to sharpen it and see what kind of edge it will take, but I'm scared of messing up the geometry. I've watched every video that I could find recommended throughout the board. I'm going to try tonight, but I was hoping for any wisdom that could be imparted. Should I expect the two sides to have different angles?
