Greetings from TX everyone! I've been sharpening my Artifex on an Imanishi 1k/6k combo for about 3 years. I was slacking bigtime on the sharpening, but decided to step it up about 6 months ago. I've been keeping up with it quite well, and just got a Shapton Pro 320 to thin the knife. So far so good, although I've scuffed it up quite a bit. Really enjoying the splash and go convenience.
I know the Artifex doesn't have a good reputation here, so I'm interested to upgrade to something else recommended here. One of these days I'll probably make a knife recommendation post to get something a bit better, but for now I'm enjoying having a knife I don't feel bad about practicing on.
