Sharpening Ceramic blades

[CliffCurry]

Finished it up! Hair popping sharp now… easily shaves arm hair.

Care to share with the class? Or is it a proprietary method? 😛

Seriously after all the comments on how hard that process can be I would never have attempted until seeing your amazing results. Way to raise the bar again man!

Yeah! Spill the Beans! Nice work josh!

Figured it out, Josh. You bought a new blade and replaced the old, dinged one….

No, wait. I just rechecked the images. Same knife. Blade fixed.

OK, Josh, details. How long did that take? Did you distress the edge like you’ve shown before?

Brilliantly done… Beautiful, artistic work.

Really nice job, Josh. Did lapping films make that possible?

I’ll be the russian judge. 7/10…. Nice job, very nice job. Would love to hear the process.

Excellent work Josh, it would be wonderful to see a video on how you did this. Thanks in advance.

Great work, Josh!

Hey guys! I simply destressed the edge w/ my 100’s, 200’s, then 400’s, then once I I had all the damage out I reprofiled w/ my 100’s to where I was close to the apex, then worked my way up and out (increased angle at the higher degrees) until I apexed fully up in the 30um range. Yes, I went directly to lapping films after the 1k diamonds =)

Josh,
Shooting a video from beginning to end would be delightful to see! … And I’m almost positive it’d be the FIRST video tutorial covering what’s needed to successfully sharpen ceramic blades on the WE.

Josh: After my experience, I never would have touched a ceramic with my 200’s, let alone my 100’s. I guess the destressing removed the danger of chipping. Muy impressivo. About how long did the whole process take?

Thanks Tom. Yeah that was the only thing that would begin to touch the depth of those chips. The whole process took ~40min to 1 hr.
