Sharpening a Sujihiki
Sharpening a Sujihiki
I just got my first sujihiki, a Konosuke HD2, 300mm. It’s a used knife, in beautiful shape, but not as sharp as I would think. How sharp do you want a sujihiki? Is this like any other knife in that respect, or is there a different preference? I’m fine with sharpening in general, I just don’t know if there’s any protocol for this type of knife.

Re: Sharpening a Sujihiki
Yes the konosuke is a double bevel knife that’s more or less evenly ground so you should sharpen it like any other double sided knife. Shoot for about 12 degrees on both sides.
