-
A combination of whetstones and natural stones removing the least amount of material necessary to make a razor sharp edge.
-
After extended sharpening and use, a knifeβs edge will thicken as more & more material is removed. On cladded** knives, this may completely shroud the cutting edge, making it impossible to hold an edge.
Thinning will bring a knife back to itβs original geometry so it cuts as gΓΌd as brand new! Re-polishing is necessary after thinning to bring the knife back to its original luster. -
