Thinning Miyabi Super Bou knives.

[Towerguy]

Can or should one thin Miyabi Super Gou knives. I bought two when I first began buying Japanese knives.

Aren't Super Gou knives Yaxell's?

Yes, my bad.

Is the primary bevel getting much wider ? It is good practice to thin a bit at every sharpening by starting far behind the edge. Thinning once a blade has become really thick is no fun.

Yes, the primary bevel is getting much wider. I might just send it to Districtcutlery.com for thining. Has anyone used their services for this purpose?

They are good, Ryan is an excellent sharpener and my dealing with him is pleasant.
