Learned a tough lesson with my new TF while cutting the top off of a bulb of garlic. I’ve done this hundreds of times without a problem. But the dry center core/stem was just too hard and took a little nick out of the edge.
Fortunately, I was able to clean it up on the stones. I was a little upset with myself at first and wasn’t going to look at it for a couple of days. But after my wife went to bed I couldn’t stop myself. It was actually rather therapeutic and in just a few minutes all was good again.
I started on the 400 with a very light touch until the edge was restored. Then did some countdown strokes on the 1000. Finished with stropping on the 6000.
