    What do you use for new surface finish hard monosteel?

    Hello I got me a new projectknife, monosteel sk. It's nothing crazy, but it's hard enough that a lot of my abrasives don't really want to dig in. The knife is thin so the plan is to redo the surface finish to something in the 180-400 grit range to avoid creating a large suction cup of a...

    Kanji

    decided to get myself a rescue with no info (yes someone did that to the backside, yet kanjii was deep enough to survive somehow) - any ideas here?

    My favorite color is BLUE!.............A patina thread.

    Man I got some mad patina showing up on my cleaver. It may just be that my imagination is too lively but I feel like the knife is scolding me

    I made a bridge.

    i did more or less the same, i made two adjustments with time, i made a long hole in each side for water to run through and i gave it a good spray of lacquer, to make drying easier, yours looks much nicer off course though ^^

    Identifying unmarked stones

    i would not worry to much about water/oil, i know people are very particular about not mixing, you should be able to tell when you try and use it with water. Though my best guess would be the 3 on the left are oil combo stones, the two on the right looks like water stones. the last red one looks...

    What knife mods do you do?

    Really depends on the knife: I got a thin nakiri some time ago, i roughed up the bladeroad on that, the buffed surface was crazy sticky. Got a santoku that was way to curvy, i reprofiled that to reduce the curve, then thinned the knife, to compensate for the metal i removed. I got a knife chef...

    King kds combo permasoak

    Ah yes, i actually quite liked his videoes back then. He is the same guy who claimed all the "6000 grit"- king stones are not the same stones with the same bonds, the combo stone from his video are supposed to not handle longer/perma soaking well, while others are just fine. I dont have any hard...

    Suggest a setup, please and thank you

    Yes the simple theory is : softer stone -> faster wear -> more/new shapening particles released = Faster cutting. The full story is more complicated then that, you will have to hear it from someone who ownes the stones, but they are supposed to be very fast cutting, for what they are (ceramic...

    Suggest a setup, please and thank you

    it can be more convenient for some to just keep some permanently soaked stones in a tub somewhere. The fast soaking stones, which does not respond well to permanent soaking are the stones that makes the least practical sense to me personally. Its a matter of opinion, but i personally love how...

    Suggest a setup, please and thank you

    A Diamond stone if you don't have one - you should ask yourself what qualities in a stone you would like: soft, hard or in between - quick soaking stone, permanent soaking stone or splash and go - Fast metal removal, slow, medium - is price important ? Sky's the limit, 50$, 100$? What grit do...

    When to Thin and Where to Begin?

    its a matter of opinion, first answer is pretty accurate. When i don't like how a knife cuts certain ingredients, i start thinning. My take on thinning Thinning - step 1: Take a minute to admire the nice finish on your knife. Say goodbye to it step 2: Lay you knife flat on your roughest...

    Show us your Steak Knife

    I use one of those laguiole like the ones michi linked. Soft, thick, high tip, works well. Imo anything with an actual edge is a big enough improvement that I'm happy with it. And those are surprisingly hard to come by, most are serrated or basically a butter knife

    Looking for a cheap intro into Jnats (Europe)

    Yes what your getting is completely random, there is no guarantee for what size stone your getting, what shape and so on. But still i'm pretty happy with what i have gotten out of it

    Looking for a cheap intro into Jnats (Europe)

    if i had to do it all over again, i would personally, as i like to phrase it "join the dictum lottery", in other words buy two random koppa's (undersized, odd sized/shaped stone). use the one you prefer to sharpen on, to sharpen on and the other one for slurry. for about 80 euros this is a...

    I love this Binsui!
