Hi Tuffy:

That middle knife in Brian’s Kitchen sure looks exactly like a Chicago Cutlery I have. I recently practiced my convex edging on it and it turned out to be an outstanding edge – maybe not the best for kitchen work, but scary sharp! I think because it has a pretty thick shoulder width. The convex blends in well with the extra meat of the blade behind the bevel and the shoulder bevels give the edge a longer taper. Unfortunately, the steel is pretty soft and dings up pretty quickly.

I’m really happy to see you doing so well this season.

Tuffy,

it is 302 after today………..if i had to guess, i would say 50/50 – maybe 60/40 meaning some were sharpened on kally and others on WE.

all the knives i bring home to sharpen with slight exception are all sharpened on kally to avoid using up my stones.

i try and keep the stones for fair work where i have no electricity.

i am in need of some 50/80’s and 100/200’s since they are like 13 months old now. i use the 50/80’s now to start since they are about like the 100/200 were when new.
