I think I am going to give these people a try.   https://usaknifemaker.com/

Thanks Nick.  I like the idea of the honing wheel on the other T8.  A simple but incredibly helpful idea.

So, I picked up a second T8 off craigslist, couldn't pass up the price.  Looks like the truing tool has been used once.  For the moment I will have one SG250 graded course and one SG250 graded fine.  But how should I best optimize my new purchase?  SB250?  DF250?  Felt?

I feel like I have a decent hand at grinding, I think I need help/practice at honing.  I feel (and my bess tester confirms) that I seem to roll the edge.  I use the FVB.  Most of my use is with kitchen knives, of course I would some day like to be proficient enough to set up at the local farmers markets, but I am not consistent enough for that yet.

I will add that I also have a Kally 1x42 for repairing damaged edges.

Let me know what you think.
Don.

Thanks for the help.  I had emailed Vadim and gotten a new PIN and reloaded the app before I had posted here for help.  What actually worked was clearing the cache and data (something I would not have thought of).  Again, thank you and stay sharp

Is anyone else having issues with their FVB app from knifegrinders not loading?  Mine has worked for a year before this week.

Does anyone have feedback on how well these work on the T4?

Looking forward to it, especially since it will take me away from my to-do list while my company is shut down and I'm at home.

Good news, my FVB is in route.

Good to know that I'm not the only one, not that I was worried.  I placed my order on Jan 2nd and soon received an email from Vadim requesting my phone # for shipping documentation.  We exchanged a couple emails where I thanked him for all he does both here on the forum and the YT videos.  He stated that he hoped to ship my FVB in 4 days to which I told him no hurry, I had heard he was backed up.  Well it's been more than 4 days, but I am not worried.  He has an outstanding reputation.  If anyone else did this to me....I might worry a bit.
