The burr

[Neil m]

Question about the burr. Do you raise a burr on each side after each stone or only need to raise the burr on the first stone. Fairly new guy to knives

you have to work on both sides to get an even burr and yes you do raise a burr on the knife after each stone you use until you finish the edge by removing it.

Thats what I thought, thanks

 

[richard j]

no problem

I agree with Richard . Just keep working the burr moving to your finer stone with lighter pressure and strop and it will disappear . Then you'll realize a good cutting edge . DM
