first sad attempt using new smith's diamond tri hone system

I've never tried to regrind a VG10 blade so I don't know what would fit your needs. That's a bit above my skill level. Just letting you know what I bought. I just use it for occasional sharpening.

Sometimes it's a journey of individual discovery and you end up with a few things in the drawer that don't get used much but that seemed like a good idea at the time.

jc, i still think it's a good idea.

From what the other guys are saying, if i tried to do the vg10 endura with only the smith's diamond tri hone, i'd have to be buried with the smith's like a pharaoh to finish the job in the afterlife. :)

I use the Norton JB8, Norton Part No. 61463685455. 8" X 2" X 1". Combo stone, coarse and fine sides. Paid $20.99 for mine from an on-line vendor. There are other sizes and you can get individual grit stones. Choice is up to you.

So, is this the one?
 
SWAPMEET knives are your friend.

AS you learned. Never practice on good blades.

I'm one of the guys mentioned, we offer sharpening services to Bladeforums members.

Josh of Razor Edge Knives is the man when it comes to regrinds and custom work, hell, I'm even one of his customers.


I am the hand sharpening guru, I use fancy waterstones and traditional methods for sharpening and repair. I'm one of my own customers too ;)

Here is my Endura Wave, reground to .012 behind the sharpened bevel. With the overly thick knife trend some might think this is too thin but in reality it's just as strong if not stronger than before. Even in its dullest moments after scrapping over concrete I need no lower than my 1000 grit stone to bring this edge back. When the grind is thin there is not a lot of work that needs to be done, when the grind is thick you are always fighting geometry.

nice work Jason, was that a regrind on the belt with a waterstone secodary bevel?
 
DBH,

120 Norton Blaze for the regrind, 4000 grit Shapton Glass on the edge.
