So with my newly double thick SG500 and atoma 140 I went to work with P3 pressure (most) on my global santoku. And within minutes, got myself a very obvious burr. Flipped and got one on the other side. I was very stoked! Then flipped with reduced pressure (P2) and by the time I was at P1, I barely felt a burr. I then proceeded to go to my next stone, a Cerax 1000. And then a Rika 5000.
So a few questions to get me to move to the next level.
I felt lost burr wise after the SG500. I reduced it enough that by the time I got to Cerax 1000, I felt not sure what to do with respect to length of time on stone and pressure on Cerax 1000. Start at P3 pressure and do passes down to P2 and P1?
Do you all feel a burr until the very last stone??!! Will one of my AS or carbon knives help with the learning curve? I have been avoiding my good carbon knives so far but feel I am almost ready.
The knife was visibly sharper after I was done. Difference with newspaper was significant. Definitely getting the hang of this!
Thanks!
