Axiom Home Page Forums Thread Like Summary - Hey Mojo

Did you know there is a music magazine named after you … Mojo

Yes, Mojo knives … definitely your thing

Not as Spartan, but I think these are cool: https://www.carved.com/collections/edc-pocket-knives-all

I do whetstones only on my good kitchen knives. Too easy to mess them up on cheap sharpeners.

I use a honing steel but that's just to keep the blade in line. I only sharpen when needed. My carbon steel knives, which are my professional knives, need to be sharpened more often than my stainless steel knives but they are also easier to sharpen. I hone both before use and they never go through the dishwasher.

Your “point” logic is totally flawed … that is probably your “point” in posting it
Think most pro chefs use whetstones too (when they really need to sharpen) … As they work they use some steel to keep the edge perfect

I being a total cooking hack use an electric sharpener and occasionally do some steel

Guess that says it all … stop arguing and start dumpster diving for all those expensive pro knives those guy are throwing out when they get dull

Project Farm just posted a knife sharpener review. I enjoy how he does all his comparison videos, but this one is quite informative.

One of the tools for measuring sharpness is with a BESS certified test media that measures the force required to cut through a calibrated cord.

The pedestal sharpeners that Mojo recommends build an edge that’s sharper than a utility razor, and they stay sharper for longer than a pull though device.

He didn’t test electric sharpeners nor whetstones, but a BESS score around 100 would probably satisfy my definition of a sharp knife.

Also a programming language named after me. All hail "Mojo"!
