today's project

Post by horriblebreast »

recently i've been taking knives home from work on the weekends. a fellow cook sent me home with this monster of a job on a shun...

Image

i used these 3 stones for most of the work of retipping and sharpening

Image

managed to get a good start on a new tip!

Image

also, i decided to try the tomato test

Image

that's all for now folks! :)

i used a naniwa traditional 220 for the gruesome repairs. i had to take off a bit of steel in order to (attempt to) reshape the knife to meet the new tip.

i used a beston 500 for the actual sharpening. i had just got it in the mail the day previous and this was a great way to break it in!

naniwa traditional 1000 to clean up the edge

not pictured were two suehiro stones i used to finish the knife up. a 3k and a 6k

ive been trying to make a good line up of stones to work on project knives with. for my own knives i use my choseras and i dont want to grind those down unnecessarily with random injured knives 8-)

the guy that broke the tip off the shun was trying to separate frozen burger patties i guess. haha oh man....these kids these days
