As there are some excellent knife makers, perhaps one of them could answer my question.
I have different knives, especially for the kitchen.
My first set of quality knives where the French “Sabatierâ€. The blades are hard but not Ice Hardened. Making them sharp again was piece of cake using a sharpening steel.
Now these days it seems shops only sell Ice Hardened knives, and even using a diamond sharpening steel does not work very well.
So perhaps heating the Ice hardened knives makes them softer, otherwise I will use the Powerhone to sharpen them.
Question: what angle is best to sharpen a knives?
