Well, my Tojiro DP set came today!:thumbsup:
Initial impressions are great, much better than my current FarberWare Professionals and Henckels Synergy Chef Knife, and WAAY better than the Cutco knives I just sent out for a refund.
My question is - I ordered this set Tojiro 7 pc block w/ Sharpener (notice the provided sharpener - Link to Tojiro Sharpener page)
In reading the literature with the knives it states "We don't recommend to use simplified sharpener because it would cause of blade angle change. Please use whetstone to keep good sharpness".
From reading here I now know that whetstones are the way to go, however should I keep the sharpener for a "backup" (or camping etc.. and possibly use it interim) until I get some stones or a Spyderco (which was recommended in my welcome post)?
Just seems odd they would make & provide a sharpener when they truly recommend whetstones in their literature.
Anyway, time to go wash up those new knives and make a stir-fry for dinner to break them in....:hungry:
Thanks!!!
