Knife sharpening

[FLEKTARN]

And cutting paper to prove sharpness blunts a blade, don't do it.

You don't know what you're talking about. If you really want to test sharpness, you MUST most certainly use a thin paper like a kasov bon, don't know how it's called in English, I think cash receipt. This one:



It's very thin. And if you did use thicker paper like regular A4 printer paper, jesus christ, what knife do you have. Most modern steels won't dull that easily. Even if the steel is not so good and it's like AUS8 or 440C, if the heat treatment is properly done, there won't be any fucking problems.

BUSSE Combat use a steel similar to 440C, but their heat treatment is the biggest secret. Their knives are so hard.

If I want to cut paper, I'll use scissors.

Use it as a test - I wanted to say. You didn't get my remark.

I got it, but I reiterate, if I want to cut paper, I'll use scissors.

It's like all these pretend martial artists tgat punch through pine or tiles or soft bricks.
In 30 years, I have never been attacked by a pine tree, a brick or a tile, so I have no need to break them.
Mind you, some people I know woukd be about the same IQ as a brick.

Want to test your edge.
Try shaving with your knife.
