Thread: Can t get my Boker Silver Steel sharp

Hello Everybody;

A little up date about my Boker.

After I posted in this forum I opened a thread on a Spanish forum to also have their opinion about the state that Ganiveteria Soto (the so called profecional with 85 years of experience) left my SR.

Everybody concurred with you. To my surprise it seems that is not uncommon to have this kind of experience. One of the guys got his US$ 350 TI ruined in the same manner.

In all that, the representative of Ganiveteria Soto appeared in the forum but his attitude was arrogant and was all about excuses. The only thing I wanted to hear is a sincere apology which I did not get. On the contrary, he was insinuating that I was not saying the truth. Any way, a very bad experience that made me decide that from now on I will learn to hone my SR´s since, here in Spain it is too expensive, to have them sharpened by ¨profesionals¨

My plan for this SR is try to fix it myself. I have ordered a set of Norton Hones 220/1000 and 4000/8000 combo stones. I ll have a go and if unsuccessful I ll have not loose anything.

Here are some more pictures and I would appreciate any advice. Thanks a lot.
