    I also understand that the ss 12k is a fast cutter, but why recommend it as a bevel setter? Does it set a bevel faster than a chosera 1k? Or any 1k for that matter? Why spend so much extra time using a 12k just because "it can" when a 1k will do the job in a fraction of the time. I'm not trying to argue, maybe I should take a dinged up blade to the 12k and see it for myself.
    When they first came out with the Carbonsong the Silverwing models were really hard to hone but they modified the alloy some and all the later ones are much easier. I have an Oakwing and it takes a bit longer but nothing outrageous.
