I think I will just just send my M390 steel to Knife Grinders! Lol. Thank you for your post, it will be a great reference along with the book. One can really appreciate the focus it takes to have a premium steel everyday-carry and be the master of its edge

Hi I've been going through this book which is great but I was roundly disabused when I got to the 'high end vs mainstream knives' section.
I realised that I can't get the lasting edge on my S30V and M390 pocket knives, which is a sad thing.
I have a standard t8 set up with FVB for guided honing on the leather wheel and my new understanding is this won't polish the carbides that exist just shy of the steel edge.
So, I don't want to buy a CBN or diamond wheel right now does anyone think I could just get a 2nd leather wheel and some kind of diamond honing compound? Or would that not really make a difference. Hmm.

Saturday morning, drank some good coffee, ordered the FVB, and grabbed the angle grinding app and FVB app for my android at google play. My future feels edgy 😁

Excellent! Guded leather wheel honing it is then.

Yes, by 'next level' I only mean that I want to get things sharper. Doing this as a hobby that has therapeutic affects but also.... addictive

Thanks for your helpful advice!

Wow! It's time to stop lurking and make a post. I'm a newb with a stock T8. On a mission to restore the many neglected Henckels knives residing in the households of my large family. Dad started it all with the Henckels It's going well but want to get to next level with these and my pocket knives.

Trying to decide while I already have a set of 8 inch paper wheels should I get the paper wheel support and applet from Knife Grinders, or should I just focus on getting a FVB in place for the Tormek honing wheel.
