Knife Sharpening / Re: sea changes
July 04, 2024, 05:31:14 PM
Being new to the Tormek, I purchased one of these and it made the experience much more enjoyable than using a calculator and trying to do a awkward measurement.  With very little practice, the Tormek tool is very quick to dial in on both the stone and leather wheels (with a front support).

Thanks for the info. I'll save the money and pass on the SJ stone.

 I've done some searching but have not been able to find a rock hard felt for the t4. Is anyone aware of one available in the US?

I recently picked up a used T4 after several years of getting mixed results with flat wet stones (some great, some not so).
I've sharpened one Shun pairing knife so far and had am quite happy with the result.

Since I saved a little $$ buying used, I'm wondering if adding the Japanese Stone would produce much of an improvement.  I'd appreciate hearing your experience.

Also, I do have some good flat stones.  Do any of you finish your knifes on flat stones after using your Tormek.

Thanks

Knife Sharpening / Re: FVB thoughts

Quote from: dmahany on June 17, 2023, 05:46:50 PMI just made an FVB with a few simple  parts from McMaster Carr.  I want to try it for trailing edge cleaver sharpening.  The parts cost approx $85 USD all included.

Do you happen to have your McMaster parts order handy?  I'd like to make one of those.  Thanks
