PRDATR Report post Posted April 29, 2023 I have bought a few knives for friends from Bucks Custom Shop over the last couple of years mostly as gifts. Now I order the S30V blades and realize these are mass produced and they are shaving sharp, but. Being an anal Sum'Bitch with an engineering background one thing that bugs me is one side of the blade has a different angle than the other maybe ground 10 thousands higher but both edges have quite a bit of what I call "chatter". Can I use a ceramic rod to smooth it down? I'm probably the only guy who can take a reasonably sharp know make it duller attempting to sharpen it. Maybe a leather strop or a buffing wheel should be what is needed to clean it up. If anyone knows someone in the East Valley who has experience I would appreciate it. I'm not looking for a professional service where I have to drop it off. I just want those ridges gone on a 110. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyyy Report post Posted April 29, 2023 😛10 thousandths higher, This is a knife not a rolex, right sharpen it up with a stone and you’ll get the machining marks right out. Takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it you can make a knife shave sharp in a couple min use a water stone for a mirror bevel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted April 29, 2023 Thanks. I do have a 5000 grit Japanese stone and it is already shaving sharp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Tub Report post Posted April 30, 2023 The Lansky and the Work Sharp systems both have you establish the initial angle for their systems with a rather coarse surface and then progress down to a very fine surface. The intial angles would conform and the previous grinding marks will be gone. OR you can just take it to a knive sharpener. There is one at the local farmers market down here in NW Tucson and I suspect the same is true up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
