There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
OK, I'm pretty handy at sharpening knives, so I got out my stones and started working. About an hour later it was still dull. I hadn't even established a wire burr on it -- that means that the two sides of the knife had not come to a point! A few days later, I spent another hour...same lack of success. So I put the knife away and didn't try again until more than a year later.
In the interim, I realized that my trouble sharpening it was probably related to the super hard steel -- the knife was basically laughing off my sharpening stone.
I also have a $10 4-sided diamond sharpening block from Harbor Freight. I only bought it to teach my Scouts how to sharpen knives -- it's just way too aggressive to use on a knife you care about. But I realized over Thanksgiving that this ultra-hard and aggressive sharpening surface might be just what the blue steel knife needed...so I held my breath and went to work.
In under 20 minutes I had a solid wire burr down the length of the blade, using the 200 grit diamond surface. I finished it off with 2 minutes at 400, 600, and 800, then onto my "real" stones, 1000, 4000, 6000 and a washita. When it was all done, the knife edge gleamed like a mirror and cut like a laser. It's easily the sharpest knife in the house now.
So: if you buy one of these and it arrives dull, it's salvageable if you know how. Just don't expect your regular stones to get the job done.
5 stars except minus a star for arriving un-sharp. 4 stars final rating.
