I started out and I could test the knives with my fingertips. I am now learning not to do that, it seems stuff cuts very fast ( my skin ) before I know it! I just now cut myself 2X. I think Im making progress, heh. Moral of the story, don’t run your fingertips on the blade? ’

I would also like to give beginners a tip, be patient take your time. as the weeks go buy, you will discover your knives will be getting sharper and sharper. And you will understand why. I like to read / watch about 10 video’s to every knife I sharpen, take your time , and enjoy
