i've been reading some of the recent posts that say "shaving sharp is too sharp". so how can i safely "unsharpen" my khuk without risking chipping? i could chop some wood, but to be honest, i don't know a hard wood from a soft one. and i'll be the first to admit that my chopping technique is horrible. i could run the edge on a sharpening stone a little (one of those cheap two sided aluminum oxide bars).
i guess that leads to the follow up question - once it's dulled a bit, how sharp is sharp enough? now, i live in the city, so i don't have an axe in my garage to compare with and the only other knives in the house are kitchen knives. should my khuk be able to cut through paper easily?
btw, this is for a bonecutter, so the edge is too sharp for chopping duty.
thanks everyone!
