Thread: That stoopid knife question

That would be another part of the learning curve for me, handling a convex edge. I’m not so keen on Virtuovices aggressive reprofiling although it seems to work for him.

Wako (Virtuovice) is a bit of a friend of mine and we swap knives a bit. He does make his edges very thin and that can affect their stability although I haven't had his chip.
I use wet and dry for touch up jobs and sometimes to thin edges and it works well.
