I've already re-sharpened my Caly Jr. Burgundy, now I've to face same problem with my WilliamsHenry B-12FT with same steel material.
I'm pretty satisfied with it, but I found out that the nearly mirror finished factory sharpening is not suitable to my cutting tasks (cardboard, row, half chewed liquorice sticks). Thus, would it be any drawback in sharpening this steel (ZDP-189) with a little bit more coarse stone? I'm mainly thinking about the 67RC hardness and the eventuality of running into chipping problems if going too coarse.
I've the Apex Pro with 100, 180, 220, 320 and 600 stones. IMHO the match would be between 320 and 600.
What's your advice?
TIA
