What do you guys use to put a good edge on a new knife so you can then put a really sharp on with a fine stone? I got one the other day that you could ride to China on and new get cut. It isn't even close to having an edge on it. It almost looks like I need to use a grinding wheel to get close but surely that can't be. So what do you use to get an edge that be honed in?
Anything Chinese has a 20 degree edge. American is 14-18 degrees.
I use a electric two stage sharpener on stainless steel , as it doesn’t hold a edge. Plus any SS blade knife is cheep. Carbon steel , use a good hand water stone , and work it. Takes time but well worth it .
Crap, I was hoping y'all had a magic machine that just whipped a nice edge ready for a stone to bring in that final little bit of edge. Crud
I'd like to add this to my stash, but it's kinda pricey being a collector knife. Case Texas Longhorn.
