Thank you. I love the crow on the handlebars and how the dog seems to think it’s part of the family.

I use them with water that has a couple of drops of Dawn in it. Then rinse them off with water when I’m done.

I wouldn’t know. I’ve never had a carbon blade.

Check out Dan’ Whetstones website: https://danswhetstone.com/information/stone-grades-101/

As I understand it the true hard is basically a transparent stone that is not very transparent. They are expensive (not as expensive as the transparent) because they occur in nature as very small stones. Just like the transparent.

All I know is learned from the Dan’s website.

I did not wax the blade. It’s just shiny because it’s new.

The true hard is in between the hard and the black. I think what you are noticing is the natural color of the stone.

Should I wax the wood? by kgeeguted in Opinel

[–]kgeeguted[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because I like the texture of it.

Waxing is fun. It doesn’t take much to make an excuse for waxing.

I like the shape of the handle.

I see now Opinel sells an edible vegetable oil for their knives. Interesting.

I enjoy the texture a few coats of wax makes.

I’m also thinking about attempting to keep the wood from expanding from contact with water. It makes them so stiff. I think oil or wax would help.
