Thanked: 351I have not honed all that many Stainless blades vs Carbon, but the ones I have done behaved pretty much the same as the carbon steel ones.
However, hard blades are hard blades.... if the RC is up... it's gonna take a while. (I have found that Henckels in particular, tend to be on the hard side)
Now, if you were asking me which is more cantankerous to machine in the shop..... Well... I hate stainless.... the same goes for honing triggers on S&W stainless revolvers.... I just hate them... But I love those revolvers when I'm done!Last edited by kaptain_zero; 10-28-2016 at 09:25 PM.
