Hello Mr Me2, I’ve been reading your very astute posts, and find them quite intriguing. It’s great to hear you are sharpening on stones, as that is my preferred method as well.
I’m sure there are more than a couple of us, so we’ll see who signs in. Sharpening and maintaining high quality kitchen knives on stones and leather hones is a subject of high interest to me.
I’ve spent enough time with Murray Carter to have been his first apprentice, several years ago. I just got back from visiting him in his new shop, and had a swell time with him. He truly is amazing, and I’m forever humbled to know him as a Grand Master Bladesmith and friend.
I am pretty familiar with kitchen knives, especially Japanese carbon steel. I’m well connected with many friends who highly prefer Japanese carbon steel kitchen knives, and I have well over $10k worth of laminated Aogomi Super Blue, with which to appease them, ASAP. The only thing I lack is time to focus on it, which is mandatory. I’m not interested with anything that wouldn’t make Mr Murray proud.
So anyway, I’m really happy you’re here, and I apologize for not speaking up sooner. Please allow a late Welcome to the forum. I’m really looking forward to visiting with you. Hopefully we’ll have company.
