Hello everyone.
Mi name is Luis, I'm from Mexico, and I'm a chef who has knives and sharpening as a hobby. I do my sharpening free hand with whetstones but I got curious on the Tormek system and just like Mr. Rick, I had a similar idea and I think that this is the right place to consult with you all.
I'm not sure about buying the Japanese stone for the tormek, I think that is too expensive for the use that I'm going to give to it, and mi alternative is the following, please let me know your thoughts on it.
Instead of buying the Japanese stone, I'm thinking on ordering a second leather honing wheel and to use it with a 1.0 or 1/2 micron compound to get an extra polishing degree.
That way my progression will be 1000 grit- leather honing wheel with 3.0 Micron compound - leather honing wheel with 1 or 1/2 micron compound.
¿Is that a good idea or a nonsense?.
If any of you think that it may work and want to suggest me a good 1, or 1/2 micron paste, it will be nice too.
Thanks in advance and best regards from México.
