Thread: Sharpening new Thiers Issards

I've had 'em where they shaved great with nothing but a stropping, and I've had them where they needed to be honed. Try shaving and see where it is. One of them had a double bevel on one side and not the other, so if you have magnification take a looksee at the bevel.

If you're lucky it won't require honing, or just a finisher, if you're not lucky you'll have to start from bevel setting. IME.
