I've been dabbling with regrinding my knives on stones in an effort to thin them out behind the edge and increase cutting perfomance for a while now. It's been somewhat frustrating as meaningfully impacting the blade thickness has proven challenging. Grinding grinding grinding with only minor reductions to the thickness behind the edge.
Neroknives posted a video today where instead of laying the blade flat and just adding pressure near the edge he raises the blade to maybe half of the edge angle. He says it's much faster and more effective than trying to thin the whole blade, even on a belt sander.
I'm tying it now as I've been infatuated with increasing cutting ability as of late. I'll definitely let everyone know how it goes, but my question is am I really thinning the knife out behind the edge, or just rounding the shoulder and convexing the blade. I plan on doing significantly more grinding than he does in his video, but what do you guys think?
I can link the video, but if you go to his channel it's his very latest upload.
