So I bought a Masahiro MV-H which OOB cuts like a dream, FF is great etc. I really, really like it. IT is supposed to be 80/20 assymetric
Although it isn't necessary and probably won't be for a while to sharpen this thing, curiosity got the better of me and I used the magic marker trick to measure the edge angles with my Edge Pro Pro and got roughly 14.5 on the RHS and about 6.5 on the asymmetric side. So I know how to sharpen it with my edge pro.
But my question is if I want to use my 2k DMT ceramic hone to keep it so sharp in between major Edge Pro sessions (which it probably will almost never need I suspect...).... How the heck do you do that with something this asymmetric, more precisely does anyone have any tricks they can share for maintaining a roughly 7 degree angle on a hone - 15 degrees I can wing but 7 degrees I don't seem to be able to maintain...
Or, just give up a hone and use a 3 or 4k fine stone with say something like a quarter blue taped to the knife for the 7 degree angle to keep it sharp??
TIA
