I just want the thing to cut what I a…[Read more]

I don’t have the ceramics.. seem like it is either or kind of thing and personal preference.  I think you will probably just have to experiment and figure out what you like.  There is no right or wrong..

Reprofiles knives very nicely as w…[Read more]

Hi Howard, folks will be along for greater details but I can tell you what I do as there is no wrong way, if your outcome is what you wanted.
