So for years I had my eye on two old knives that have been in my grandparents house as far I I can remember Im sure one was a wedding present so it safe to say 70 years ? Give or take?
It had been sharpened bay my grandfather to the point were it totally lost its shape (no chef or knife expert).
So he past away recently and I've asked my grandmother could I take a look at them and give this chef knife to my uncle.... anywhere to my question.
I've taken of a lot of steel away to straighten it out (more like a carving shape ) and put rough edge using a tool sharpening wheel.
Now it's time to stone it's got something going but I'm not getting a burr???? (I did try paper test and it do okay were the steel is older)
Is this normal for old English steel or can you go past getting a burr?
