I (like others) have been reading Ashby's reports and want to try the single bevel heads. El Grande's weren't available when I ordered last week, but the No Mercy's were.
I'm very sharpening challenged, I don't have a top, top quality file, so tonight I bought a Smith's system, much like a Lansky but better made
I think
So I've been working using the 25 degree slot ( it has a 25 degree and a 20 degree )
The coarse cuts a lot of steel down, consistant edge (I used a sharpie so I can tell) and I'm working on 'em ..... but geeesh its frustrating !
I don't know if I need to work longer using the medium stones or the soft honing stones or drop from the 25 degree down to the 20 degree or ..... I dunno, I'm just not getting that razor sharp edge I'm looking for :(
I got all night though (working night shifts)
Anyone have a suggestion ?
