ahh nvm it says

2018-03-22 12:42:02 UTC  

im just blind for chinkformating

2018-03-22 12:42:18 UTC  

1500 is nice startting point tho

2018-03-22 12:42:30 UTC  

240 is quite cruel if you have even half-decent edge on it

2018-03-22 12:42:37 UTC  

maybe for axes dohohoho

2018-03-22 12:43:03 UTC  

<--has 1000 sandpaper and 6000̃ish stone

2018-03-22 12:43:30 UTC  

i need to get similar 600-1500 for my abuseknives

2018-03-22 12:46:10 UTC  

It's a really ancient knife set

2018-03-22 12:46:23 UTC  

my parents used it for 12 years and never sharpened them

2018-03-22 12:46:28 UTC  

but they are pretty expensive WMF knives

2018-03-22 12:46:38 UTC  

so I want to try to restore with the 240

2018-03-22 12:46:55 UTC  

ahh that explains

2018-03-22 12:47:07 UTC  

they wanted to throw them away and I interjected and took them to my home instead

2018-03-22 12:48:00 UTC  

the edge is basically a flat area

2018-03-22 12:48:11 UTC  

also I expect the chink stones to be softer

2018-03-22 12:48:23 UTC  

240 but probably shit quality, soft and will wear off fast

2018-03-22 12:48:27 UTC  

so 240 != 240

2018-03-22 12:48:37 UTC  

thats still decent looking tho

2018-03-22 12:48:42 UTC  

seen worse in kitchen :P

2018-03-22 12:48:48 UTC  

aka "the can openers"

2018-03-22 12:49:16 UTC  

you wouldn't go with the 240 on that?

2018-03-22 12:51:29 UTC  

That's the other knife. I'll start with the 600 on that

2018-03-22 12:51:50 UTC  

yeah you should feel it quite fast if it needs 240 or if its only making it worse

2018-03-22 12:52:10 UTC  

also our kitchen had couple of arcos knives.. id say they are great as long as you avoid em

2018-03-22 12:52:26 UTC  

the steel is nice and well made+ takes darn good edge

2018-03-22 12:52:42 UTC  

but their handles give tiny tiny plastic splinters all over your hands after a while

2018-03-22 12:53:09 UTC  

i plan buying one of those and refitting wooden handle to it

2018-03-22 12:53:24 UTC  

<:chink:323022148870602752> That sounds so retarded that I cannot even imagine it.

2018-03-22 12:53:34 UTC  

@ plastic splinter handles

2018-03-22 12:54:18 UTC  

its some tiny tiny needles/plastic just pressure+heat formed into handle slabs

2018-03-22 12:54:27 UTC  

Disgusting.

2018-03-22 12:54:34 UTC  

couple of machines washes and those tiny needles starts to poke out slightly

2018-03-22 12:54:44 UTC  

and then the hell begins

2018-03-22 12:55:42 UTC  

POM handles are just shit

2018-03-22 12:56:10 UTC  

there proper model picture even

2018-03-22 12:56:40 UTC  

we had 1 with rosewood handle and it was really nice

2018-03-22 12:57:19 UTC  

their "nitrum(tm)" steel is probly just some "yet another mix of molybd steel

2018-03-22 13:08:45 UTC
