The Beast

I recently had the opportunity to be given a beautiful, Henckels Twin Cermax knife to do, this knife is extremely hard (66) and was in relatively bad shape after an encounter with a different sharpening device. It was scratched which is just cosmetics really but the micro edge had many nicks along the length of the blade which had to repaired before any actual sharpening could be done. Considering the hardness of the steel, this was indeed a challenge.

BEFORE

It really is quite a beautiful knife though and the owner was quite upset at himself for running it through something that this particular knife really did not like at all.
This is the result of 2 hours of work, I loved every minute of it.

AFTER

I love this type of work on a knive and much appreciated the opportunity to get my hands on a such a beautiful knife.
