I'd probably be interested should @dancing james not have convinced you to stick with it
Tenderloin-
Noted bud, I'm going to persevere for a little bit but I'll drop you message if and when...
@dancing James Thanks. My observation is that the stone just isn't in contact with the blade for very long and I can fully understand why they invented a top-spec version with a 3:1 ratio as I feel they flagged this as a shortcoming. Logically you'd think I'd just have to sharpen for longer but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Maybe I'm not deburring sufficiently as the blade feels coarse even after the finest grade stone.

Congrats dude, that’s a beauty.
@dancing james. Strong stuff, enjoy.
Dragging this back to the Horl chat, I got a dose of FOMO and bought the no.2 and the 3000/6000 upgrade. Hmmm, I’m not convinced at all. I’ve tried it maybe five times now and it’s… ok I guess.
Even when I rush sharpening with the whetstone it’s significantly better than with this gizmo. I’ll persevere for a bit in case I’m missing something fundamental but if anyone wants to buy it, let me know 😂
