12 years of neglect

it is high time to sharpen my neglected set of chisels.

At the end of the process I still fail to cut a piece of paper... maybe next time

The 1200 grit stone isn’t fine enough to get the final polish that you need to cut paper. You should get a 6000 or 8000 stone. I use water stones. Diamond stones are good for getting the bevel established, after the 1200 then go to a 6000 or 8000 for the secondary bevel. Finally a few passes on the strop.

Thank you for your comment!
Next time I will add extra 6000 and higher grit.
Good tip
