Deba issues and stone

[GorillaGrunt]

Skipping I think is a result of too much pressure and/or not enough water/slurry. That said I've run into stones where that occurs much more readily than others, usually finer synthetics, that therefore take more finesse and practice to use on a wide bevel.

Even with a layer of slurry? Do you get black spots where it skips? Swarf might build up into the surface. Take it slowly, make slurry, add water as needed. Clean any spots. Ease the pressure if you can't control everything at once. As the grit gets higher, developing the edge gets much more difficult than people imagine, but also dealing with polishing reveals a lot of consistency problems and surface management (there isn't really a one fix all type of thing here, it's experience and the capacity to adjust or compensate for various things).
The main problem I see is that you are learning on a good knife, that might be "damaged" a bit in the process.

I will add one thing here...while the knife skips/ shutters when moving back and forth on the stone it feels like suction not so much digging in like when you flatten the stone with your leveling plate...did that make sense...it doesnt seem to happen with my yanagiba whichis a wide bevel knife...there seens to be some correlation to the weight of the knife as well...

 

[kayman67]

More water, less pressure.

 

[Richard1978]

More water, less pressure.

Seems to skip on weight alone of the knife i removed my two presure fingers from the knife and it still skipped

Would you be willing to upload a video where we can see the knife skipping, just so that we can see what is happening?

 

[kayman67]

Seems like there are more things going on. Pretty flat bevel, drying slurry and surface, still too much pressure for these conditions.
Same as before, slurry layer, water, take it slow, ease the pressure (you consider that there is no pressure way to late, by that time, it will stick on its own).

Ok i will try and put something together...and post it but i am not that technological and live alone only have phone...so may be a few days or so...so i can organise friend to help out with the videoing...

Not sure how you are setup. In my kitchen I have a cabinet above my kitchen counter. I place my phone in the cabinet poking out, facing down. Like this

If you have a laptop with a camera, you can record using that. (I notice you said you only have a phone, though.)

Just wanted to say that because I spent a while propping my phone up in weird ways before realizing I could just put my computer on the counter.

Ok guys i have mad a vid of me sharpening on my phone and troed to up load but it tells me the file is to large for the server! I can see anything on my phone that lets me compress edit it so any suggestions appreciated.

Youtube. You can set privacy settings so it's not searchable if you wanted to.

 

[Richard1978]

Any other suggestions besides utube...not really my thing!!!...if i make a zip folder can i attach that and if so will it be able to be view by anyone wishing to open it?

 

[kayman67]

Google Drive/Photos? Dropbox? OneDrive? WeTransfer?

 

[Richard1978]

Ok ive had a look at google photos but there seems to be no compressing option...im trying to reduce the size of my video so it can be uploaded to the forums server...

 

[kayman67]

Just upload it somewhere and give a link.

Lol mate if i knew what that meant or how to do it i would...

 

[kayman67]

Drag and drop the movie into Google Photos. It will upload and you can share a link after. I don't see anything faster than that, if you have an account.

 

[Richard1978]

Ok im exhausted...i am not technological at all...plus i dont have time for this...i have google photos but i cannot see the pathway to drag videos into it...infact i cant see any reference to videos in google photos and i cant see any pathway to create a link...sorry

 

[kayman67]

If you have the movie on a PC already, drag it into the browser.

If it's just on your phone, from within the app (Google Photos), you will have a "cloud" with an arrow in the right upper corner. Or you could just create a link (lower left corner, the 3 dots connected by lines) and it will be uploaded by default.

 

[Richard1978]

Tomorrow i will look at it! now i am way past caring...yep only got phone...

 

[Richard1978]

Mmm...no cloud with an arrow top right no 3 dots connected by lines in bottom left corner...this seems to be my story with technology

 

[Richard1978]

When i open google photos on my phone this is what comes up!

 

[kayman67]

Just touch one of them. You should see the following.
Click that and Create link. Should be somewhere in the lower left corner.

*This is already in the cloud, so no cloud icon available.

 

[Richard1978]

Ok i got to here but how do i share it to the forum?

 

[kayman67]

Paste the link here.

Hold your finger in the reply box where you input text until a meniu pops, with Paste.

 

[Richard1978]

Take 2 i got to here how do i share/link it to the forum?

 

[Richard1978]

After i create link this is the page i get! Where do i press and hold to get the paste function...

 

[kayman67]

"Hold finger here"

 

[Richard1978]

If i do that i only get clipboard...dont i have to do copy first before i get paste?
