Useful information, Dimitri. You asked what knives are the most difficult to properly sharpen. For me, it’s the knives that are tall (from the spine to the edge). Examples are the Japanese Nakuru or the Chinese Chuka Bocho.
I recently sharpened a few of these for a family member, all of them new, and all of them with different edge bevels. The worst was one that was 18° on one side and 29° on the other with a lot of variations along the blade. That one took a while to fix. They all got sharpened to 15° per side and I stopped with the 20/14 resin bond diamond stone. It seems to give both a good bite for skinning and lasts long enough for most tasks.
Love your videos and would like to see how sharp they come and what score they have after using a tsprof sharpener. (The machine were you have to cut a piece of string)
Always enjoy these vids! My most difficult knife to sharpen was an old 10" chefs knife due to also to the lack of symmetry. Cannot remember the manufacturer of that knife as it belonged to a friend.
The most difficult knife I have sharpened is the cold steel code 4 it was poorly ground at the tip area I had to sharpen it and adjust the thickness and size of the bevel for 2 hours
I just got a K03 do I need to do the stone thickness adjustment for every stone including the ones the system comes with? Also is it normal for me to get 17 degrees on the straight edge but if I go towards the tip the stone starts to tilt and the angle changes
Thickness adjustment for stones from the set isn't necessary, they all have the same thickness. To be calm about the compensation of thickness difference, the best way is to monitor the angle each time you change the stone. Speaking about change of the angle when moving towards the tip - yes it is normal.

*Nakiri, not Nakuru (darn Autocorrect) - Also, the Edit operation won’t work.

What a case! Which sharpening systems were you using for that?
@@TSPROFSharpening I used my Blitz Pro.
Good work
Thank you so much 😀
