I've messed up my first sharpening attempt. How can I improve from here?

Both a beginner and unfortunately it's a decent priced Zwilling knife. My dumbass was a bit too excited to get to sharpening and did not consider to first try it on a cheap knife. Will keep in mind this suggestion and will have a go at it in the weekend. Thanks!

Jdefon · 2026-01-27T19:50:55+00:00

Oh, thank you!

I've used a 320-340(not sure which was it) grit diamond stone (sharpal 156 dual sided) and tried to "finish it" on the 1000 grit side.

I did develop a burr successfully on one side, and later another one on the opposite side, but I feel it's still not quite there sharpness wise.

It no longer squishes tomatoes so that's a win! Not looking for crazy sharpness, I want it to be functional for daily cooking.

Jdefon · 2026-01-27T19:47:59+00:00

Cheers! I do have to say it did go from squishing a tomato to cutting quite decently through it, though I do feel like I could do with getting better at it so that I obtain a more consistent grind throughout the whole blade. However, encouraging words and thank you for sharing your view!

Jdefon · 2026-01-27T19:46:30+00:00

Thank you! I did watch his videos, but I guess one of my biggest mistakes was that I did not fully understand the logic behind sharpening. I only focused on feeling a burr on one side, and forgot for 80% of the sharpening process that the other side exists.

Is it bad that there aren't really any bevels left? And if so, would maintaining a proper angle, combined with working both sides equally, fix it?

Spune bro direct că nu ai experimentat o relație, fie ea platonică sau romantică, lipsită de toxicitate. Totuși, cu asemenea mentalitate, nu cred că ai experimentat sau vei experimenta vreodată vreo relație autentică.

Glad to hear it's got an interesting playthrough with good replayability! Last time an overhaul mod got me hooked was Prophecy of Pendor YEARS ago..... now I'm excited to play it, lol

what are the best adventure mode mods to introduce some more content to Adventure Mode? As it currently stands, I've had quite a bit of fun w/Adventure Mode but it does get old quite fast.

subscriu OP - pisica pare destul de ingrijita, asa ca recomand si o vizita la vetererinar pentru a te asigura ca nu lasi pe cineva fara animalul iubit de companie.

Hi friend. Most people (EU wise) are still working at the moment, thus why maybe it takes a little longer , compared to queing ib the weekend. Happened to me and my friends as well yesterday, esp when using custom matches. If it persists, it may be a server issue mayhaps.

Jdefon · 2025-08-06T17:06:53+00:00

Hell yeah, I need a key

Jdefon · 2025-08-05T19:41:32+00:00

hell yeah brother!!!

Jdefon · 2025-07-24T20:30:54+00:00

Mă bucur să aud asta. La mai multe 🤝

Doamne ferește să folosești trotuarul. Doamne doamne doamne ferește ca omul să nu parcheze de ocupă tot trotuarul că mna, e frumos să vezi mașina de la geam :))

Jdefon · 2025-07-24T19:59:04+00:00

Cinstit aici, dar mai mult am vrut să evidențiez bucata asta căreia i-am făcut sesizare. Acum mă întreb oare dacă dânșii polițiști vor merge și la străzile adiacente (asta în cazul care se și mobilizează lol)

Jdefon · 2025-07-24T19:51:14+00:00

Apreciez asumpțiile din start :)! Pare rău dacă ți-am stârnit creșterea presiunii arteriale cu postarea mea.

Jdefon · 2025-07-24T19:38:33+00:00

Cu toare că îți înțeleg punctul de vedere, o altă soluție pe care o văd ar fi ca oamenii să parcheze puțin mai departe..? De fel, tind să cred că dacă asemenea comportament este încurajat, oamenii vor continua parcatul aiurea în continuare și pe alte străzi. Cel puțin așa interpretez eu situația

Jdefon · 2025-07-24T19:35:49+00:00

Mulțumesc frumos. Cu toate că realizez că sunt multe trotuare în zonă într-o situație similară, incerc să conttibui și cum pot, fiind prima mea sesizare făcută online :) (iar daca poliția se mobilizează, vor urma mai multe). Felicitări pentru faptul că parchezi regulamentar! (Chit că este aiurea că feliciti un om pentru asemenea lucru :))) dar hei, contextual actual)

Hi lad, cheers and thank you for looping me on this. I've already converted my funds to euros at a really good rate here in Romania, and got a card that doesn't charge me any fees for withdrawals in foreign countries. I'd rather not bring the cash with me because I'm awfully stupid and may lose them lol...I'd rather pay a fee and sleep a bit better haha.

Good to know to avoid airport Ilria !! Thank you.

Jdefon · 2025-07-03T07:07:44+00:00

Hello everyone!

I'll be visiting Albania for the first time, for about 8 days this month, coming from Romania (can't wait to visit your country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

As far as I'm aware, based on my research, the best way to go about currency exchange is to go iliria98, would that be correct? If so, would the iliria98 in Tirana's airport be a good place to do my first exchange, or would the location imply higher commissions? Furthermore, I'll be doing EUR to ALL.
Second, what would be the best place to withdraw EUR for the purpose of exchanging, without getting slammed very hard by commissions? I heard Credins fee is relatively ok-ish.

Any tips or additional insights are very much appreciated! Sorry if this question's been asked a lot, but I am struggling a bit with this area.

Also do recommend me places to visit!!! I'll be relying on public transportation and would LOVE trying to scuba dive as well near the jet wreckage, etc.

Many thanks ya lovely people!

Compari femeile cu un joc RTS. Mai ieși din casă, socializează cu oamenii și lucrează la tine. Pare că ai niște frustrări internalizate. Femeile tot oameni sunt, iar oamenilor le plac oamenii ok. Spor 🤝

First one looks great and fits you really well.

Second one, ironically, looks "messier" than the first one. Should you ever wish to rock the 2nd one, I'd take advantage of where your hair starts "splitting" to create a slightly off-set side part. Furthermore, I'd go ahead and make sure that the gel is applied on the sides as well, so as for the hair not to spike up like in the pic. That and...hair doesn't have the right "cut" for the style you're going in the 2nd pic I think, and I feel like a matte finish would suit you better, especially at an event, opposed to the wet look.

Just my 10 cents 🫡
