Knife Sharpening / Re: Sharpening High Vanadium K...

Last post by Swemek - November 11, 2025, 07:42:52 PM

Old thread and I know Vadim is not with us anymore, which is very sad.

I have question. I'm about to sharpen a M398 knife and wonder if a final strop with PA-70 will do more damage than good after using my other leather wheel with 5 micron diamond paste?

Thinking PA-70 is finer than 5 micron.

Thanks

I've read all the articles on his blog — most of them several times. They're real eye-openers. I'm inclined to trust him, though it's difficult to verify his claims without access to an electron microscope.

This guy's web site is really interesting.

I've ordered his book, but haven't read it yet.

Dear friends,

Thank you all very much for your help and support.
Last evening the seller finally replied to one of my messages. According to him, the parcel was sent on October 8th. I will now contact the shipping company to find out where it got lost.

It's a bit disappointing that only after almost a month the seller finally provided me with the tracking number.

Sorry for the trouble, and thank you again for your understanding.

Best regards,

I have purchased several items from Hanns, and have always received excellent service. I suggest we hold off any judgements until we know the full story.

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for your replies and advice.

I have already contacted the seller several times — on October 26th, November 3rd, and November 4th — asking them to reply or at least provide me with a tracking number for the parcel.
Unfortunately, I still haven't received any response.

In my last message, I also mentioned that I would have to open a dispute through my bank if the situation was not resolved, but even after that, there has been no reply.

It's possible that there are some valid reasons for the delay, but at the moment there has been no communication at all, which is quite worrying.

Thanks again for your help and support!

Kind regards,

Never had any issue with deliveries from Hanns. He is always responding fast and acts customer oriented. It's the worst way to post your problems in news groups instead of contacting him directly.
