Got a great Deal on a Tormek T-8 and a Wen unit. The Wen is much louder and runs a bit faster RPM wise. I have these 250 watt portable power units to power cash register and such in case I go to flea markets or knife shows and just for giggles wanted to see how long these units would power the Tormek and Wen. Surprisingly it powered them…[Read more]

I am interested in how others got their name and services out there. How long it took them to get a base clientele etc.

Thank you for your replies. I will watch the video and give it a try

You guys that do this as a primary business or as a part time way to make extra cash. How did you get started? How long did it take? What are some tips to help out a new guy wanting to make it a primary business?

How do I get the bevels to match? Do I have to take all the steel off the one side to make them both 13 degrees?

Ty, I need to know how to proceed with a knife that has a 13 degree bevel on one side and a 16-17 degree on the other. Must I sharpen the 17 degree side down to the 13 degree to match?

Thank you very much

I will take a picture or 2. It’s a Japanese steel kitchen knife. It’s very long and very thin.
<p style=”text-align: right;”>On a 1 sided blade fo you still sharpen to a burr? If so how do you remove burr? Light pass with a 1000 grit stone?</p>

Ok so I need to fix this Blade. Right side is reading 13.2 degrees and left side 13.1 degrees

Sorry I meant spine

Thank you very much. When you say edge leading you mean your staring you pass from above the blade and come down passed the heal?

Thanks Marc. My phone gives me limited functions on here. I didnt even see the small bar used for searching.

I’m pretty new to forums as well as being a completely newbie to sharpening

Hey Kyle. I haven’t been on in a few days but I was watching YouTube videos and saw your video. As you were describing the circumstance I said “Hey that’s me” lol. Thanks my friend. I liked it and also subscribed
