Hi, am I correct that the only distinction between the "high-end" and "mainstream" knives is the type of steel used? I have a CCK KF1303 carbon steel chef's knife. The type of steel is not known (so probably low quality) but it is around 58HRC I'm told. Also, I believe Chinese chef knives typically have just a bevel on one edge. I use my knife on "mostly" vegetables but some beef/chicken as well. Would you recommend a dual bevel or single bevel or is that more just a preference?
I just received my new T8 and considering what type of compound/s I should put on the leather honing wheel for the best deburring results only utilizing this one wheel. I work primarily with AEB-L steel. Would you recommend just the 5 micron diamond paste? Or a mixture of both the 5 micron paste and the PA-70 paste like in this video? Or possibly a different micron size, or just pure chromium oxide paste? I'll just be coming off of the 1000 grit graded SG-250 wheel. I will also consider buying a second leather wheel if two types of compounds should be used. I am not overly concerned with getting a polished edge, just the sharpest longest lasting edge I can achieve with the bare bones T8 system. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
RIP Vadim
