Insuficient result
Hi Tormek
I recently bought a T1 serial no:946138 and expected to sharpen my knives myselv instead of by a profesional.
But nomatter how precisely i follow online video or written guides i dont seem to get a satisfactory result.
Even though i grind several (+20) time on each side, and for several minutes i am not able to form this burr that is important according to viedeos. I use an angle of 15 degrees. And after the following honing the knives are still dull.
Can my knives have been destroyed over the years somehow?. They are of resenable quality and have only been subject to normal domestic use.
Is there somewhere in Denmark where i can get som real life support ?

Depending on how your knife was sharpened before and what steel it has will affect how long it will takes to get the burr. If you use the edge marker and see where the sharpening take place. When all the black color is gone all the way down to the tip, you can start honing. You also have to hone several times on both sides.
Sometime it hard to feel the burr depending on the material of the knife.
