Even after stropping, you'll have a burr. The burr will be so small though that you'll have to see it under a microscope to even tell It's there. It won't effect performance, but you'll always have a burr.

Well yeah, the whole point is to get it down to a size that is not affecting performance any more like you said.

Yes you can. Ask your grandpa if he has any ceramic belts they're supposed to bet the best for metal.

Couldn't really say. Just make sure to ask what size grinder your grandpa uses so you don't get the wrong size belt.

It would probably be best to get them online. Your hardware store probably won't have very good quality belts. I use Norton Blaze ceramics and couldn't recommend them more. They cut extremely fast.

I know man. What's up with that?:)

I've been pretty good I suppose. I'm getting another Gayle Bradley so I'm excited about that. How are you liking the Nilakka? I've always been fascinated by the design but I'm not too into S30V.

:eek: No S30V love. Haha, it is a crazy knife. Just imagine an Opinel in S30V. Actually someone was telling me that it is zero ground and at the zero it is around .001 behind the edge.

Holy hell, that is thin! Does the the blade thickness interfere with cutting at all? It seemed like it had a pretty thick spine.

S30V is a great steel and I think I've had more knives in that steel than any other. I'm just really obsessive about how sharp my knives are and that "working edge" that S30V develops kind of drives me crazy so I end up sharpening my knife like every couple of days. If they made the Nilakka in something like M390 or K390 (always wanted to try it out) I'd be all over it.

Yah I know what you're saying. I think 3V at high hardness would be good too.
 
Yoohoo. Anybody know when the black stonewashed leek (1660SWBLK) come out? I just got one. Can't wait to see it.
