(I looked at several videos and forums posts and I'm still confused, I have never had a chisel grind before)
When I got my Blue Boss, it was the sharpest knife I had and after a few months of use, I noticed it was losing its edge in places.
I looked at the edge and could not see any folding...
I stroked the flat edge on a mouse pad wrapped with sandpaper (that works on my other knives) it helped a little.
I can't figure out what to do about the beveled side. It looks like a broad convex sweeping toward the center of the blade.
Then the flat side looks like it has the tiniest little bevel just before it meets the other side.
I looked at the video where he sharpens the BOSS and cuts paper and coins, but all I can see is the master's hands waving around.
Does anyone know of a place I can get an explanation of how to move the edge across the stone (or sanding belt)?
Sorry if I'm not using the right terms, I'm just learning how to keep my knives sharp after many years of thinking it was too difficult.
Thank you.
