Thx for the tips, I was about to get katana sharpened by them
Having a reasonable excuse for having the "weapon" on one's person is a complete defense, in NSW.
From my complete mincing of legal terms you can probably tell I'm not a lawyer, but my point is legit.
get a good quality japanese "king" water stone off ebay - best investment and you can have sharp knives for the rest of your life!
Get a whetstone set, either 1000 + 6000 or a triple 1000 + 3000 + 6000/8000. Plenty of videos on YouTube from master sushi chefs and the like. Very soothing to watch and also do, but takes time. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast :-)
Doesn't have to take time. Practise and technique mean I can go from dull to hanging hair test sharp in 5 minutes.
Nice, I take a little longer, but I just meant people shouldn't expect it to be quick like pulling the blade 5 times through the staysharp holder 😊
12 dollar silicon carbide stone from Bunnings and a sheet of 600 grit sandpaper is plenty to start.
For anyone interested in their technique, this is from their website:
We use a fully water-cooled, slow speed linishing system, so we create an edge with a mirror finish using a 7000 grit belt that is as sharp as new, we can give you the edge to suit your blade or if needed we create your own preferred edge.
"..and in other news - Brisbane police have made a record number of arrests in South Brisbane. Up to 200 people have been formally charged for carrying knives under Section 51(1) of the Weapons Act 1997…"
