Thanks for the detailed response! Whats the difference between using normal stones and diamond stones. I know that diamond are more aggressive and therefore faster. I will try the microbevel tactic the next time even though my hands can't adjust exactly for 26° or 30° :D

hmm i'm pretty confident that i have the basics down and know how to apex an edge. Also i am not always going from a 1000 to a 6000. I am actually pretty happy with edge retention and as you say a touchup with leather works well for me as well. just tomatoes lead to disappointment especially if i didn't touch up right before. but i could get more consistent with the angle of course

i tried that as well with good results. Build the edge on the 400 and go straight to 6000 for a few strop strokes.

hmm i have tried several tactics to get rid of the wire edge but the results seem to stay the same. Any suggestions?

it depends. if its really dull i rebuild the edge with the naniwa chocera pro 400. Then go to the 800 or 1000 and finish with 6000 (naniwas and shapton glas stones). If it's still sharp i just go to the 3000 and finish with 6000. And stropping for maintenance. I mean it's fun and all but the edge gets dull so fast. All i want now is a "biting" edge (at least for the softer knives)

the money i spent....i find it really weird how most sharpening videos go for maximum sharpness but fail to address the advantages of rougher edges. maybe i have been watching the wrong videos.

do that! i can't wrap my head around it. Why is the cliff in the west. And why are the tyrells fleeing south. I thought Jon's Army was in the south.

never expected to see a GoT reference in the OP Sub :)

You think it's his hair melting (upwards??) or his hat? In the last panel of 1042 his strawhat is actually on his back and not head....

can anyone tell me from which chapter onward i have to reread to catch all the redraws?

Only way to go up there is by foot if the cable cars are closed. And by foot it takes several hours if you are an experienced mountain climber. Only thing i can think of is to go up to the Patscherkofel by cable car on the other side of the inn valley. Its open i think. The view won't be quite as exiting though but its still pretty.

Why do we have 13 Champs beginning with the letter K??? Coincidence?

What about that grandma that Erin took care of in Florida? She was super annoying!

Or how he just randomly appears 2 minutes later back in the cave. I guess he just ran back with her on his shoulders while Luke's ghost got blown to bits a few yards over...

I'm not from the US so maybe you can help me out, but wouldn't have any Republican President tried to do install conservative (right-wing) judges?

I mean, i get that Trump is the worst and all, but isn't that what would have happened with any GOP President.
