Just for sh_ts & giggles, I bought a ceramic blade (kit) from Woodcraft. I looked at it with the microscope and found it has a pretty rough (by WE standards) microbevel edge. Looks like they sharpened it on a diamond belt. It has a chip in the edge which I’ll take out with my 800/100 stones, but after that I’m limited to the 5/3.5 stropping.
Any news on offering diamond abrasive films?
Do any of you gents have any experience with ceramic stones on ceramic blades?
Yeah it will never develop a burr like normal steel will. And you have to take it to a really fine grit to get it to shave hair. I got my diamond lapping films from lee Valley and they work great. I believe that is what Tom (with Jende industries) used as well to sharpen the ceramic knife that he shaved his head with
Diamonds are the only thing to use on ceramics Ceramics on ceramics are unlikely to do much . The edge is likely to chip with anything below about 1200 grit . Hopefully cClay will have the DMT plates once the production quality is sorted then it will need finishing with diamond film.
