Thanks Baz,,,,,,,,,Just repaired a Friends knife with broken tip,,,,,,,,,,,do not have large belt sander but my old Worksharp 3000 with 6 inch glass platter worked on the 9 inch Zwilling,,,,,,,saved lots of time grinding a new edge as i have usually been my way of fixing this problem.
Cool! Yeah, even a file would work. As long as people remember to bring the spine down to the edge and not the other way around. Consider my cockles warmed.
The reason the papers catch where they do is because that's where the stress starts to find multiple ways out. There are many forces working on that thin paper, and once you reach the point where the stability provided by your fingers doesn't suffice anymore the material will flex more or less depending on factors such as blade geometry, angle of the cut, rigidity of the material itself yadda yadda. The stress is gonna look for the easiest way out, the sharper the knife the lower the deviation from the original trajectory, and if it isn't sharp enough it'll start to rip.
Hey baz, after you sharpen, hone and strop. Can you show us how the knife preforms on a tomato? I have been doing this process and I find that I loose the bite to cut tomatoes etc. Thanks
@@adamtabbit I don't eat veg and prefer to stay away from them but for a specific tomato knife I'll leave the grit at 80 (240). That gives it a bit more tooth.
Thanks Kev, my phone number is in almost every movie in the background somewhere. I'm on google as Findon Knife Sharpening and all my contact details are in the "about" section. I'm currently waiting to hear if I'll be granted an export permit so I can only currently sell them to an Australian address. What country are you in?
@@02bigkev Cool, we have a facetime call, you choose a tail and I express post it to you. If you want me to make a nice hanging strop it'll take me a few hours to make it and I'l express post it to you same or next day depending how busy I am with knives.
Nice job as always Baz 👍

Are you referring to the stress in the paper?
