my dad uses a stand for sharpening stones, works good for any kind of knife

2017-03-27 18:37:25 UTC  

What a shitty stand power.

2017-03-27 18:38:22 UTC  

mutha

2017-03-27 18:38:24 UTC  

fucking

2017-03-27 18:39:18 UTC  

The power to sharpen stones

2017-03-27 18:43:39 UTC  

What kind of stand?

2017-03-27 18:46:28 UTC  

you set a stone in it in a fixed position and proceed to sharpen the knife

2017-03-27 18:46:38 UTC  

Okay

2017-03-27 18:46:48 UTC  

there are positions for different sharpening angles

2017-03-27 18:47:07 UTC  

I can't remember anything about how it looks but it's pretty nice to use

2017-03-27 19:05:15 UTC  

Yeah, there are stands that you put a stone in, then there's an adjustable clamp to hold the blade at exactly whatever angle is desired. Then you just push it back and forth across the stone.

2017-03-27 19:06:19 UTC  

Did you see the tool I sent a picture of?

2017-03-27 19:06:22 UTC  

Those little hand deals work okay, but some. Of them are proned to rounding the tip off.

2017-03-27 19:06:25 UTC  

Is it any good

2017-03-27 19:07:21 UTC  

It probably has like a 45 degree, 30, and 15 for different types of blades. Definitely looks better than the quickie sharpener I used at work before.

2017-03-27 19:07:40 UTC  

So it will be okay?

2017-03-27 19:07:43 UTC  

You think?

Here's a closer pic

2017-03-27 19:08:09 UTC  

It'll do a good enough job if you're not keen on just getting a stone and doing it by hand.

2017-03-27 19:08:41 UTC  

I dunno if you can replace the files in them, though. Pretty sure they're meant to be disposable.

2017-03-27 19:09:06 UTC  

Oh nice. It's three different grits.

2017-03-27 19:09:24 UTC  

Yeah, as long as it doesn't fall apart that'll be pretty nice.

2017-03-27 19:09:49 UTC  

any guides on how to file disputes on ali express (what to do/what not to do)? I Bought a Megir watch which mostly works but part of it sticks out because its broken and hurts my poor hand

2017-03-27 19:10:04 UTC  

Thank you @Valkrys !

2017-03-27 19:11:06 UTC  

No problem. Yeah if you have a blunt knife to sharpen, you start with the coarsest one, then work you're way down to the polisher. Trick is to make sure you keep the blade square, and consistently use the same angle.

2017-03-27 19:11:39 UTC  

Yeah that'll take some training

2017-03-27 19:11:44 UTC  

Is it hard generally?

2017-03-27 19:12:12 UTC  

I don't think so, but not everyone has good motor skills. It's a lot harder to fuck up with one of those things though.

2017-03-27 19:12:30 UTC  

I'm glad to hear

2017-03-27 19:13:37 UTC  

Wet stones are the beat, though, man. Would turn garbage knives into excellent meat trimming tools. They just didn't hold an edge worth a fuck.

2017-03-27 19:14:14 UTC  

so the only downside of TN is viewing angle?

2017-03-27 19:14:21 UTC  

Sooooo.... Go or nogo?

2017-03-27 19:14:35 UTC  

I'm a newb, just ordered my two first knives

2017-03-27 19:14:36 UTC  

How much is it?

2017-03-27 19:14:49 UTC  

9$ USD with shipping

2017-03-27 19:14:59 UTC  

Shit, there's no reason not to get it.

2017-03-27 19:15:11 UTC  

Here's a link for you
