So I've set up my new T8, I have the hand tool kit and have sharpened a few cheapo Sam's club knives and tried my hand at my 20 yr old Henckels. The Henckels have been dull for a long time. I used the suggested 15 degree (30 inclusive) and it took a long time to get any burr. I used the wheel at 1000 grit. Are these knives made from steel that is generally harder? Any pointers on sharpening these in general?
thanks
