That being the case, I'm glad the knife I ran through those sharpeners is horrendous to look at and only cost me about $1.65 out-the-door! Now I have a perfect excuse to take it to the Tri-Hone.Working Edge wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 2:43 pm Pull-through sharpeners, on the ceramic side, don't do damage to an edge, but on the carbide side, they certainly damage an edge by tearing and deforming the steel along the length of the edge instead of honing steel to an apex, leaving the ragged edge you mentioned.
As an aside, I'm thinking the CopperLock that I mentioned in this topic's initial post was intentionally chisel-ground. If so, I'm not going to try to re-profile it.
