    Good point about using edge "trailing" with a step sharpening angle instead of edge "leading". The motor on the T-8 is very strong and can easily flip the blade back towards you if edge "leading". And, it could even stop the motor if the blade jams between the stone and the universal support. It happened to me so suddendly that I was stunned. Thankfully, the blade did not flip back into my body and there was no damage to the SG-250 stone. An experience regarding lower sharpening angles!

      You are right, and sharpening pressure also plays a role here. Did you see the updated MB-102 Multi Base with the new mounts for the universal support that lets you sharpen knives edge trailing much more freely? If not, check it out: tormek.com/en/products/accessories/mb-102-multi-base

    This was really helpful! I have been sharpening my steel with the t4 since 2009, and bought a t8 in 2019 because of a demo I have seen where one of your colleagues lifted the entire machine by a chisel while running. For the knifes I actually bought a second jig and use two of them to maintain the grinding angle at the tip, this really helped me and my perfectionist brain.

    Hey guys I bought a T8 about eight months ago and I’ve been really happy with it but there’s a newbie mistakes I seem to be making when I’m just sharpening a normal kitchen knife. I seem to be straightening out the curve on the belly of the knife close to the tip. I’m lifting the handle straight up not following the curve which is what I thought I was supposed to do but I could be wrong any advice would be very appreciated. I sharpened a 6 inch chefs knife and it seem to take the belly out of that more than any of the larger ones. It’s very sharp it just took the curve Thanks
    I got the Japanese Waterstone also and like the third time I use it the blade was already so sharp and I just wasn’t paying attention and I caught edge. It still works fine it just has a nick. I did a utter a few, colorful metaphors however.

    Hello 😊 thank you for getting to the fine details. Something i do to keep the bur small is to switch sides often. Do you see a problem with this? I don't have a Japanese stone but i think doing this with the Japanese stone and edge trailing you will get an extremely sharp edge also when you use the leather wheel like this. One question though is that on the first knife video you said the leather paste was equal to 3000 grit but also said that the particles are 3 micron which i think is 8000 grit?

  • @filknz

    Can you compare/contrast the advantages/disadvantages of a stone wheel machine like a Tormek, versus a tool/approach that uses abrasive bands, and the convex edge they produce?

    • @TormekSharpening
      @TormekSharpening  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hej David, This is a very complex question. Just take in considoration that a band grinder produces heat compared to a water cooled System like Tormek. There are a few tools which need a convex bevel, they have the task to split the material. You get a much finer edge with a wet sharping system comparet to a band grinder. These are two different tasks, grinding is taking away material, sharpening is to creating an apex of high quality. Both methods has their own task, but you cant compare it. I hope this answer helps you. stay safe and sharp!

    Great video and as always very informative 👍 will there be a self-centering knife jig for us more advanced users in the future? Thicker knives cannot be centered in the current jigs (the edge being to far offset from center in the static part of the jig) and therefore produce uneven angels and bevels. This is very frustrating... If not then maybe you can provide the standard svm45 jig with different depths on the static side to accommodate more blade widths?
    Keep up the good work!

    By 'toothy" I am asking about the micro serrations that some sharpening people claim cut things like tomatoes better because the start of the cut is like using a serrated knife at a microscopic level. I have always honed to get a mirror like finish with all burr and any micro serrations removed. Your thoughts.

    • @Owieczkin
      @Owieczkin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Definitely check out "Dual grit" method. It's the most advanced techniqe rediscovered by The Home Slice ;)

    • @TormekSharpening
      @TormekSharpening  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hej John, this is a philosophical question, I dont like the microserration, just makes a lot of more work, you distroy your cutting board, and at the end with a perfect sharpened knife you slice tomatoes easily with a nice cutted skin compared to the mostly "sawed" skin, it´s also a question of the optics. Most like the serrated type , because the knives they otherwise use are dull. From a chefs perspective, a clear no to serrated knives for tomatoes.
      If you want to keep the micro serration, maybe you can grind them with a fine diamond rasp?...
      To keep the microscopic bevel you achieve through sharpening helps for sure to cut in the skin of the tomatoes, but when it brake, and it will sooner or later, you end up with micro particles in the food... and the knife gets dull very fast and isn´t much a good knife for other tasks.

    • @TormekSharpening
      @TormekSharpening  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hej, We sharpened a while ago one, the katana edge on the front you have to test if the knife jig KJ-45 is able to clamp on the blade - slightly diagonally, or free hand. Depending of the length of the sword you may use the US-430 Universalsupport and supposingly a second KJ-45 to get an even bevel over the whole lenght.

      Hej Daniel, for that task you'll need a slow band sander. The most japanese knifes are quite thin right from the beginning and would weaken the blad. Those thicker blades have a wide bevel and this has to be sharpend and sharped with a band sander, then the cutting bevel itself is then sharpened with the Tormek.

    What about the Rock Hard felt wheel for deburring?

    • @TormekSharpening
      @TormekSharpening  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hej Derek H, there are different methods for deburring. The Rock Hard ones are very hard, that's like a sharpening stone, the paste doesn't penetrate the sureface as it should. Normal felt wheels are use with higher speed when the friction generates heat to meld the different coloured / grid wax polishing pastes, you'll need for each paste another felt wheel. But these doesnt work on the Tormek, due the slow speed which doesn't give you the friction and heat. /Wolfgang
      Deburring works excellent with the LA-220 Leather Honeng Wheel and a bit coarser with the CW-220 Composite Honeing Wheel. Even the JS-250 or JS-200 Japanese Waterstone works fine with a light strope on the Leather Honing Wheel, depending on the quality and steel properties. / Wolfgang

      @TormekSharpening  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Damian! Sure, that's no problem at all. You just sharpen the bevel side and then go straight to honing (on both sides). Some single bevel knives (mainly japanese kitchen knives if i remember correctly) are to also be sharpened flat on the entire bevel-less side. In that case you can do that using the MB-100 Multi Base with a diamond wheel, and put the entire bevel-less side flat on the side of the diamond wheel. But make sure to check how your specific knife is supposed to be sharpened first, otherwise it might become an expensive experiment 😅

      To clamp the jig I prefer when the belly has a strong curve to go more or less into the belly and close to the radius which makes it easier to get a nice and even bevel on the knifes belly. Also shown in this part.
