Anyone have a video using these and does anyone have results showing repeatability with these?

Are these meant to replace stropping in the cases where you would want to use them?

I went 1200/1600 and then 2k/3k chosera and 5k/10k chosera 🙂

I did it to mine on my router table. I only did one side so I could have an adequate finger guard/rest on the opposing side. I try to only use the trimmed side when I have to so the stones wear evenly.

I’m not sure. They came with my paper stone base too.

Rubber faces the bottom of the base on the screws you us to mount the sharpener to the base.

Jake,
Any review or thoughts? I have some people that may be interested if I was to start sharpening chisels. Thanks!!

Take care and God Bless!

If you take the moving jaw off and put the cube on the stationary jaw between the top vice screw hole and the bottom vice screw hole what do you read? Please take a picture of where you zero it and the reading on the stationary jaw.

[Richard Jackson]

What are you measuring angles with and where? Are you measuring on the inside of the low angle adapter vice? Just FYI, the main vice will have exactly the same issue you described in your first post(the cant) if you don’t use the leather, foam, or chamois with a FFG blade.

We’ll I’m a newbie but I may have the answer. Most kitchen knives are full flat ground (FFG) which means the primary bevel is a constant angle that extends from the spine to the edge. So you basically have a very acute V shaped piece of metal between two jaws that are more or less parallel. This will allow the blade to cant to one side or the other unless you have absolutely mastered keeping it centered. Most people use a piece of leather or chamois or foam between the blade and the jaws on FFG blades to give it some more support below the spine to ward off the cant.

Big thanks you guys!!! I can only imagine it will get much better. I used Clay’s directions to a tee and they worked great even with my non broken in ceramics.

Well I got one part of the edge to whittle. The rest wanted to split the hair slightly more than half way through and therefore cut the hair enough so that no curls would whittle off. I can still see many surface scratches on the edge. But my ceramics are absolutely brand new.

That’s awesome! I’ll try that. The whittling hair is more of just a challenge than any kind of need haha.

I have been doing an entire set of Wustoff classics for my sister and I think that I am starting to feel and hear what you guys are talking about. I’m just not confident enough to drop the counting yet, haha! I’m afraid I won’t get what I want out of the edge and have to resharpen(I really really like sharpening but don’t have much luxury of time to do testing now). So I’m trying to climb up to the shoulders of you sharpening giants that have been doing this for a long time and can do it by feel and sound alone etc. I really really appreciate it again!!

Take care and God Bless!
