Just spent 5-10 minutes sharpening this by hand b/c I haven't used this particular knife in awhile.

Had to de-burr the edge with my fingaz cuz I don't have a honer.

So is the steel used to hone. If your hone is softer than your knife you've got some problems bub.

Wait, what.
Yeah. So glass (softer than steel) wouldn't make a good honing instrument for steel.

Well, obviously I don't have the apparatus to prove why I think that, but
Google mohs hardness of glass and of knife steel, glass says 5.5 and knife steel says generally 5-6.5

Glass is harder than steel, but much more brittle. You should already take good care not to drop ordinary steels because they are hardened to such a degree that they may break.

OP you have the second shittiest knife I have ever seen on /ck/. Only that one Indian guy's knife was worse.

How on earth do you cook with that? Using that knife must be such a pain in the ass. It is not even a chef's knife.

>> No.10765289

Oil stones are a whore. I learned on Arkansas oil stones when I was 14. They require skill. Deburring is done with leather and compound or a proper buffing wheel. They're not as good as whetstones, not as good as band sanders with buffers, just not as good. They're the steam engine of sharpening.

>> No.10765297

That's the stone you use to sharpen a lawnmower blade. Go japanese for the sake of your sanity/wrist arthritis.

I know, I've done it. I have 5 stones in my cabinet. Oil sharpening is garbage and should be left to lawn tools. Just buy a fucking 40 dollar whetstone, dumbass. Or do better... this..

if you don't sharpen your knives with a wheel, then you don't deserve to use /ck/

make sure you have a water cauldron you can douse your steel in before it loses its temper on the grit stone. Don't let it go blue. Douse it often. Then use the compounds.

>> No.10765350

>>10765339

It only cuts down fucking around to 1/100th of the time. Band sanding isn't the worst because it cuts it to a fraction of the time. Then have a fluffy wheel buffer with polishing compound and you're back at work. Even a hard white wheel buffer is fine.
