Thanked: 31My first time...
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...
