 Re: Favourite knives and crocksticks

I have 2 Landwells, one bevelled edged (BE) and one double hollow ground (DHG)"hard".

I'm very happy with the BE, I do all my fine scraping with it. The DHG gives me a bit of problem sharpening though, I find very difficult to maintain a consistent edge on it although I never seems to have this problem with the BE!

I suspect that the "medium" and "soft" DHG knives should be easier to sharpen. Any comments?

The black handles are probably knives by Pisoni or Rigotti. They work fine for me. I use a razor edged for my rough scraping.

I sharpen my knives on a Japanese water stone. They work the best for me!
