Today was the day. The Wapi kit from kenrup and my face. WOW. Took about 40 minutes to complete with one WTG pass and one XTG pass, and only 3 nicks (all less than 4mm!) I'm hooked. I did notice that I had to change the blade angle depending on what I wanted to cut, but I was surprised to see the hardest thing to do was stropping. I strop all my knives and chisels, but my strop is glued to wood, so I'm not used to pulling on a strop and having to watch closely to not roll the edge. I do hope that speed will come with practice, though. 40 minutes is a long time for me in the morning... And a ATG pass is beyond my abilities right now, but soon... soon...
