Thread: My new Thuri.

Damn Jerry, you have come a long way that, is a nice edge.

Try a light worked Thuringian slurry on the 20k, you might be surprised. I have been experimenting with Jnat slurry on an old fine Lilly White and old Translucent Ark with some impressive results.

Experiment with breaking down your slurry, doing more laps as opposed to just thinning. Save a worked slurry, I use small Japanese saucers to save slurry, because you don’t want to do too many laps on the 20k or you end up with a 20k edge.

I don’t like the 20k edge, but it is a polisher and can add keenness in but a few laps. I often take an edge to the 20k to polish the bevel, then joint the edge and finish on a natural, so I know all I’m looking at is the natural finish on the bevel.

Another thing you can try if your Thüringian edge is lacking, add a layer of thin tape, (scotch tape works or Kapton) and do a few light laps on the 20k, 3-10 for a super micro bevel, experiment with the number of laps, surprising what 2 or 3 laps can do.
