Noodle knives and how to sharpen them

[simona]

Hej there,
So the clue is in the title.
I love making noodles and until now have used pasta machines and my beloved Ono.
Thinking about buying a noodle knife, just wondering how one goes about sharpening one.
Any experiences much appreciated.

Eye candy is my Ono Nr. 1, restored by a chap in Japan, and of course, ramen noodles and a bowl.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Can't help ya with the noodle knife but I'm loving the Ono and food porn!

Menkiri is available from tojiro pretty cheap, or there’s a denka for a grand or so..

I would prioritize flatness of stone when sharpening. Looks like you want dead flat along the whole edge. Of course, I have never personally sharpened one before .

I have a cheap one. It's like a 99/1 or whatever ratio bevel knife. I sharpen it the same way I'd sharpen a honesuki/garasuki. Sharpen like a wide bevel zero edge on the dominant side. Deburr on the other side.
