So tonight I opened it up, watched the video, sharpened some kitchen knives as practice...read my raving review of it for more on that
Anywhoo, next is sharpening my new CRKT KFF. The blade has a tiny nick in it, I mean really tiny (you gotta look in the right light to see it). Now, should I use all four steps to sharpen it, or just the last two on the white stones? Other than the nick, it's brand spankin' new. I did that by accident while a tiny bit drunk
NEXT QUESTION - For sharpening a new folder, like my Kershaw Ken Onion, should I go with the 30 degree bevel to get it "scary sharp", like Sal says in the video? My folders are all light duty utility knives. So, 30 degree, or stick with the 40? Which steps should I be using to sharpen pretty much new knives (just getting them a bit sharper)?
