My garden is about to explode with tomatoes. I haven’t been sharpening much if at all in the last year. I am planning on choosing one knife to sharpen to be the tomato knife for the season. All home use. I am wondering what you all think for what steel and stone you would recommend for ripe tomatoes?
Here is what I have to choose from.
Steel:
R2
CPM154
Niolox
Ginsan
White Steel
Blue Steel
01
W2
52100
VG10
Old Dirty Carbon
Stones:
DMT extra coarse
Beston 500
Green Brick
JKI 2000
JKI diamond 1k/6k
Natural Red Aoto
Natural Aizu
Natural Mizukihara
Natural Ozuku Asagi
several naguras
Strops:
Balsa
Horsehide
Flax Linen
Diamond 3 micron
Diamond 1 micron
Chromium Oxide .5 micron
