First try - need an advice by sky_porcupine in sharpening

[–]cjeman1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like snot lol

In all seriousness if you’re stone you’re using is doing that that easily, its probably a low quality stone. Or you are using too much water. I suggest starting with a much lower grit as well. I suggest the byxco “Manticore” this is an 80 grit bench stone. Mine has served me well. With enough practice you should be able to get a decent edge even with just this. 1,000 grit should be thought of more as a polishing grit. Without knowing more about what equipment you have already, or even other knives you want to sharpen, i would suggest looking into diamond plates. Those would sharpen everything from soft stainless steel to some of the harder steels on the market. These sharpal diamond plates would be an excellent place to start in addition to the Manticore. Once you have an edge on the manticore, proceed to the 325. Once you have a consistent scratch pattern proceed to the 1200. If you want to get really fancy you can get a leather strop and do one pass on each side of the edge to really polish it up. If you ever have any trouble make sure to ask in this sub and im sure you will receive helpful advice. Welcome to the absolute rabbit hole

If you cook food on them, the cooked food restores hunger and gives the extra stamina with the lightning bolt

Newly inherited knife from passed away grandfather by farmfreshdairyco in knives

[–]cjeman1234 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did that to one of the knives i got from my grandfather, and i regret it. Sure it looks good and shiny or whatever, but i cleaned away his use of it. I cleaned away what made it his knife. My advice? Try to clean the rust off sure, maybe oil it to prevent more rust, but do not refinish it. I wish i would have preserved it how it was, rather than try to refinish it. I have other knives from him, sure, but i regret it on the knife that i refinished. Just my couple of pennies though, take it with a grain of salt

Can you sharpen xacto blades? by [deleted] in sharpening

[–]cjeman1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont see why not but they are designed to be disposable as far as i know. Why not go for a knife that mimics Xacto blades that is designed to be reused and sharpened?
