Dear Jeff,

it's clear  I'm doing something wrong,
I have been grading the stone with the fine part of the stone grader as you suggested, but how long and with how much pressure?
Is there a way to understand when the bevel is done properly and the burr is created

Is the burr visible with a lens or something else?
How sharp should the blade be before honing?

When honing I normally put some light oil on the honing wheel and after that some paste , but  I find difficult to find the right angle, how can you realize when the honing anle is correct by hand? 

thank you

Dear Sir,


I love and owe many knives, Kitchen, Hunting, sport,  fixed, folding etc etc.........
I have been trying to keep them sharp with hand stones and other devices but I have never been able to sharpen them properly.

So I decide to buy the Tormek T7.

After two weeks of practice and after carefully watching the videos I have been able to sharpen my knives but never to RAZOR SHARP level I'm struggling for (smoothly cutting a paper sheet or shave the hairs on my arm).
Often after honing my knives they get less sharp than before.

Don't you make sharpening classes, I definitely need those..........
