I got the 1k chosera, which I already love, to replace the king. It is much faster and allows me to use less strokes to set the bevel. The king was not faulty, but I did not know how to manage the...

I completed the honing of the frameback. I had interesting things happening again. I set the bevel with 1k as well as I could and changed the tape after that. I did about 10 strokes on the 3k and it...

^^ There you go. I made one, because I think it is such a fundamental piece of information that can be used in bevel setting.

I did some bevel setting experiments on my kitchen knife and chosera 1k.

I have not - until now - realized how little it takes to set the bevel or kill it. First you bring it close with some...

Now that I have had some success I have few things on my mind.

Glen (gssixgun) and I think Lynn too can both feel or see on the bevel setting hone when they are coming close and thus know when...

I love to admit that I am wrong - again. The king stone was not faulty - my technique is. One day you think that the problem is one thing and the next day something else as you can see from this...

First of all - thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.

Skipping 1k solved my problem. I honed with normal pressure on the dmt600 for 20 x-strokes. Tnt pass and it cuts arm hair...

Ok now it is official. My 1k king is faulty somehow. It works fine on kitchen knives and crude honing, but for some reason it kills the very edge. I went back to the dmt 600 and did 20 light...

ok i might be on to something. I found out that if i go light on the 1k then the very edge turns little jagged under 60x scope but there is no reflection or white line at the very edge. This never...

Ok I have some progress. I went back to dmt 600 and did about 20 rolling x strokes and now i have good tnt and i can easily cut hair off my arm. Tpt is still negative. But i am starting to think that...

i think i have watched all your videos :idea: but just do not get bevel set by using pressure like you and lynn do. I have used a scale to get an idea about the amount of pressure. It must be...

I will fill in few more things, now that I have gotten a little sleep. First, I am doing bevel setting, not refreshing. And that is the culprit. Getting close enough without going over. Once I am...

Hi,
I tried to learn how to hone (set bevels) about 9 months ago and did not really learn. Partly because I had a bad razor to practise on. I took the advise of others a got a Maxard razor from...
