I've been sharpening for a while now but with the stones I have I can never get my edge, really sharp.
I use 400 then 800 and a strop. This can shave the hairs on my leg which have already been cut with the knife.
Anyway I've used a window to sharpen my knife, and it gets it very bitey sharp, shaves with very little ease. But it seems to me that it can't carve and cut wood as well as a knife that I've sharpened and not been on the window to hone it, is there any reason for this.
Sharpened a normal knife, with a stone, sharp.
Sharpened a knife with a window, very very sharp, but not as sharp for wood.
Are these micro serrations (looks like a wire edge), it can't make a good featherstick.
Thanks.
