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.
