Kitchen Tools - Sharpening Day (media.piefed.social)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by manwithcamera@piefed.social to c/tools@lemmy.world
 

Its been a few months since I sharpened my kitchen knives.

They usually only need a touch up. Ill do a few strokes on the 400, 1000, and do a few more strokes on the 3000.

These stones are cheap ones I found online and the 8000 actually feels more aggressive than the 1000 so I usually dont use it.

After the 1000 grit I will strop it a few times on a strop I made from offcuts and some thick vegtan with green compound.
