Thread: Thiers Issard (problem)

On my older TI's I don't remember this problem occurring. But these days I look at any new TI I buy (2 recently) as if I myself am still at the factory and need to 'grind' a proper and even bevel before shipping it out. Taking that view helps me to frame my plan of attack on getting the new TI dialed in. One trick that is commonly discussed is using the black permanent marker. This really helps when you get a new TI to see what you need to do to correct the bevel and get it the way you want it.

PS; I don't actually take the thing to a grinder, lol. It just spends more time on the Chosera 1K and I pay a bit more attention to the edge at this stage than I do with others. Almost like I'm bringing home an eBay special. But, I should say that I absolutely love their new steel and feel that it stands out to the other carbon steels out there in its ability to take and hold a good edge.
