Yes, this will actually be a problem. I think that I will have to shorten the knife a bit to follow the profile, the wave is very pronounced.
Thank you guys for all the help and comments. I'm waiting for my shapton 320 whetstone to re-do the edge and profile. I will post a picture after is...
Wow! Thank you for all your help! It seems that this was a very lucky find. I will look for a good sandpaper set to start working on it. At the beginning I was thinking in re-doing the edge profile because it's very strange, however, it may be a bad idea considering it historic value.
Thanks...
Hey guys, yesterday I found a really rusty carbon knife in a thrift recycling store. It was 100% covered by orange rust and had an strange shape.
Today I bought some sandpaper and rust eraser and started to remove that rust as much as I can.
It is an old Maleham & Yeomans. I did some research...
That's nice to here. I think I won't buy the low grit stone until I find an old knife to restore from a flea market haha. Do you usually strop using polishing compound?

Yesterday I bought my first hand-forged japanese knife! I'm so anxious for it to...
After reading some reviews, I decided to get that one too. It seems that it's impossible to go wrong with it. And it may last for lots of years. Thank you for the advice!
Thanks everyone for your help! I really appreciate it. At the end, I bought the Shinko Seilan Kiritsuke. I'm really anxious...
Buena compas! Siempre hay al menos un Chileno en todos lados en este mundo jaja. Al final me decidí por un Shinko Seilan Aogami Super Kiritsuke de 240mm.
Great advice! Hopefully, I searched for reviews about him after he put Dalstrong knives in his top knives in all his videos. What YouTuber do you advice for learning more about sharpening? I already get my mercer chef knife to cut paper, but not too smooth as I've seen in some videos. I want to...
Thank you for your response! I think that's a very good option considering the price and what I'm looking, I read really good reviews about it and about the shop. Also, I just read some not good reviews about the chef knife to go shop.
About the weight, if the edge is sharp enough I don't think...
Hey guys, I’m new in the high-quality knives world and I want to buy my first good knife. I will use it mainly at home for cooking for myself, so, more than an efficient knife I´m looking for a knife to be fun to use.
