Hello all,
Just curious if anyone has had much experience sharpening the VG 'super-steels' (their words not mine).
Over the weekend, I was asked to sharpen a couple of Shun kitchen blades.
I went with my usual DMT stones and a strop, but had a very difficult time getting the blades even to ~200 BESS.
Some parts seemed to take the edge and others didn't.
I'm sure it would have been better on a belt, but, I was home and all I had was the diamond stones.
Anyone know any tricks to get this steel into shape?
Thanks,
Wade.
