What's your favorite stone/plate for thinning?im considering the gesshin 220, but what's popular around here?
Right, but that was for bevel setting right? I'm looking for something that can do a good job thinning. My bester 500 can set the bevel just fine.
There are a few exceptions, but in general vintage carbons have a very low abrasion resistance. I would start with coarse sandpaper with linen backing, P120, followed by P220. You will already have to use sandpaper to work on the fingerguard. Don't use your good stone to reduce or remove the fingerguard or to make it flush with the relief bevel.Super thick vintage carbon chefs and slicers...
Can you remove the atoma scratch marks with a bester 500?
If your doing ODC, have you considered a belt grinder?
I really dislike using diamond plate on knives, feels horrible
