Last month I revived my rusted out Sugimoto No.6 cleaver and put an edge with the WE diamond stones.  Under magnification the blade was micro chipped so I switched to Chosera whetstone.  The chips totally disappeared!  I don’t know why but the virgin carbon steel didn’t like diamond.

I thought KME has a curved rod specifically for convex edge sharpening.  Clay, is this the route your design team thinking or something even more elegant?

To update everyone I get this fetish with cleavers.  Ordered this Deng clan cleaver.  The spine and taper have the same profile as the ones posted above.  Will there be a special version of the WE120 for an odd blade profile  like this in the future?  Thinking of putting in pieces of wood and leather into the clamp.

Dang, I am debating of getting the AMK as a coarse and medium grid workhorse.  Is water and oil absolutely not necessary?

I am tempted to add the scissor attachment to a current order but will wait until further design changes to come along without the need of using the low angle adaptor.
