What Did You Sharpen Today?

I did ten kitchen knives for a restaurant down the street. Most were chef's knifes but there was a paring knife and a santoku. Another guy left a box of kitchen knives including santoku that was almost ruler straight. He requested I grind some belly into it which I did. I had to keep it mild because it has already been previously sharpened up into the grantons. Then the butcher next door dropped off another batch of chef knives, he has them done every six weeks or so (mostly he uses boning and breaking knives). Overall it was a busy day! I have some carving knives I didn't get to, those will be done in the morning. And after I left the shop a guy dropped off a special edition Buck, the way it was described to me it's damascus of some kind. I'll do it first thing in the morning.
 
I'm kicking myself that I didn't remember to get a picture but today I did a cool limited edition Buck with a damascus blade. The grind was a bit wonky so it took a fair amount of grinding work (both electroplated diamond plate as well as some work on my Shapton Pro 320). But once I fixed the grind I polished it up on some resin bonded diamond stones and it came out great. But I did need to hit youtube to figure out how to open the blade!:oops: 😂 🤡
 
No pics but I did a couple of Shuns, some Cutcos and a variety of other budget knives. My shop is closed on Mondays but there's a local restaurant nearby that's closed on Mondays and it's the only day they can be without their knives. So I went in for an hour to sharpen for them.

These are the before pics. Forgot to get after pics. Was able to remove the rust stain, clean up the edges to remove the chips. Left the larger dents since I didn't want to remove much metal. This is getting fun!



 
Post man delivered a new-to-me, pre-owned Stretch2 with V-Toku2/SUS410 blade that I picked up here on the exchange. Thanks Zach & BF! Don’t know much about this blade yet but, grateful to Spyderco for bringing this kind of exotic product to market. Took edge down to 17.5 degrees, 8000 grit, 1 micron. Threw on a LynchNW clip. Pleased with the result…
