Im starting to think that the whole bevel isnt where the magic happens, its rite on the edge were the 2 metals meet.
Then best edges with the least microchips or teeth come from Jnat usage, i've...

I would like to sell my 30k but i think of it as part of a collection.
I took delivery of my Shapton Pond today :)
The only Shapton item missing is the Diamond lapping plate..
I think i will end...

Youd have to pry it from my hands whilst i kicked and screamed :medvl:

I think its the spine because it kinda has three notches along the spine, which lay on the hone instead of just a flat spine..But then i have a 7/8 bade that clearly wont sit flat, either the toe or...

Thanks i will keep that in mind.

The bevel is very dark in your pics .
The actual edges are very nice.

Thanks.

I've started to concentrate on the 1k/4k shaptons to not only set the bevel but to have the blade very sticky sharp from that point and only...

Thanks for that.

I recently bought a microscope and i've had to re invent myself honing wise.
I was doing the Lynn circles strokes method and getting inconsistent results.
My technique was poor, you cant just go...

I was copying DR.Matt off youtube.
He was going from an 8k shapton to 20mins Jnat.
I only do a few strokes on the 16k then 20 mins jnat
I'm getting the best edges ive ever had.
Am i doing wrong?

I hone with the shaptons, up to the 16k and then hit the Jnat for 20 mins.
What would happen if i used my Shaptons up to the 30k and then hit the Jnat?
"Try it and find out!" your probably saying...
