Do Arks annoy anyone else
Maybe it's just me and I am doing it wrong but it doesn't matter what lube I use with my Arks it takes all the polish off my blade.
I have used glycerin, dilute washing up liquid, Smiths and mineral oil but whatever I use the blade ends up dull.
I spent 30 minutes with the metal polish this morning trying to bring the polish back without losing a finger in the process.
I wanted to compare my Ark edge to my Coti edge. Probably more trouble than it was worth actually.
I felt the Ark edge was very very sharp but the Coti edge although not quite as sharp as the Ark is still very sharp but also a lot more comfortable.
Honing on an Ark also takes a lot longer than honing on a Coti.
I used the Unicot Method with my Coti this morning because it is the easiest until I get more time with it.
