I have a CV Heljestrand faux frame back with a barber's notch that has been sitting in the drawer for several months. I decided to hone it and it is shaping up well with a perfectly even bevel. I've been running it lightly with a bit of forward torque for about 40 minutes on a Shapton glass 1k. And it is nowhere near a bevel. It glides on a tomato without coming anywhere near cutting it. There is just a faint gray of swarf on the blade. With any other blade, I would have been pushing black swarf by now. I'm thinking it is Swedish stainless, but not sure. And it must be super hard. I wonder if anyone knows the Rockwell C rating for this steel? And any tips on honing it?
