Hi
I stumbled upon a sharpening video by Harrelson Stanley on a Takamura and saw him using a technique called "jointing".
Basically after sharpening a knife he takes it and lightly grinds the knife perpendicular to the stone along the cutting edge. After that he hones the edge again a few times.
Here is a video of him explaining what jointing is. The starts to "joint" the knife at around 30:00. [video=youtube;5BV_IdXQ18Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BV_IdXQ18Q[/video]
This seems counter intuitive to me. Also a micro bevel (thanks jon for the micro bevel video) seems to achieve the same thing but a lot less harsh. Any thoughts on pros/cons on jointing??
Thank you
