Is it possible to use the TT-50 (Turning and dressing tool) on the SJ-250 (Japanese stone)?
I think that the edge of the stone is getting a small radius, and need to be flattened.

Im not a big fan of serrated knife blades, atleast not on my camping knifes.
So i tried making a new bevel and Im very pleased with the result. It looks a little weird at the bottom of the blade, closest to the handle. But i dont know how to make it look better, since the blade is smaller.
Before and after pics.

So i just finished my first titanium blade knife, and it took me about 45min+ It was a high quality, expensive kitchen knife

My own experience (trail and error) is that i could only use a very high angle. When i tried on lower angles the edge showed small, small marks in it. Looked like small cracks, even with the SJ-250 stone

I would guess, 35°+ each side.

I remade the bevel on the knife 3 times, before i could get a clean, nice edge.

The "customer" was so happy with the knife, they had tried to get it sharp many times but failed so it was well worth the time

What are your thoughts and recommendations for titanium blade knifes? It sure was not easy to get a nice edge....

Hello.
I just got my T-7 yesterday. I really liked the machine, and the quality of it.
I have some questions.

My first knife i tried was a total failure Probably gone for the wrong angels, it was an old knife so it does not bother me. But i now understand that i have many hours in front of me to master the Technic.

When i bought the T-7 my thoughts was that i don't care to spend some extra money on a grinding machine, because maybe i could help others and sell the service. That way the more expensive machine felt more reasonable.

Is it possible to grind at a selling level with the T-7?
To be able to take charge for the service, the result most be 100%.

Is it a big diffrence with the Japanise stone, compared to the standard stone+leather honing?

I have read most i can find and watched most of the youtube videos on tormek.
