Hi all, I need B&B advice I was walking through some markets in Tasmania, Australia and stumbled across an older gent selling a small array of icredible looking hand forged Damascus blades, primarily kitchen use in design. I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. She's a large, heavy blade and I love what it will be... BUT... it's very hard to sharpen. I've got your standard set of nice, euro kitchen knives. I use usually a 1k King on them when they get quite blunt then work up to the suehiro rika 6k stone to polish. Feeling crazy sharp I'll even take it to a 10k, but in reality that's just me being snobbish and having fun. The issue I'm having is this thing just won't get an edge. It's the hardest steel I've seen in a knife. Does anyone have a hand forged Damascus blade that's hard and has any advice? I'm at a loss. I've taken it back to an unknown grit oilstone that's quite rough, then moved up again to the 1k, spent a solid couple of hours on it on the 1k but it's just not happening. My other knives would be shaving my arm by now but this one I can run over my finger and not fear the cut. Any help graciously taken on this one. She's beautiful and I want to use her but she's just so... blunt!
