There are (greatly simplified) two demands on a knife edge:
- Soft goods to be cut, mainly gently sharing for all applications, such as in the kitchen area for meat, vegetables and fruit. But also for ropes, smooth scheduling mountaineers. For this is a lightweight micro-sawing edge (how to deploy the medium brown or normal-fine white ceramic stones of Spyderco. These are under the microscope clearly visible) on any smooth surface bitingly real grip ideal and made permanently 'in our following analogy corresponds to the Pruning saw.
- Of hard goods to be cut stinging and Ritz movements as for editing carpet coatings, wood, particle board or cardboard (type utility knife & companions) - here shines through '. "Highly polished Spyderco knife sharpener Ultrafine Stone edge Since no' bite 'is required separates ideal by the razor-sharp little edge surface the goods to be cut, which she opposes lack of assets low surface resistance. Micro teeth as laid out by the central stone, would ground quickly and the cutting will quickly dull. 'In our analogy this would correspond to the hoe.
One would hardly be able to convince someone of the effectiveness of a robust tree saw, if you would present their effectiveness by by hacks with this on a tree trunk. The teeth of the saw would break out soon, the cutting will be dull and the tree would look on the left and relatively undamaged.
On the other hand would be a hoe with sawing motions at an oak quite unsuccessful and could convince anyone who saw would be a successful traditional woodworking tool and ideal for tree felling.
Armed with this knowledge you can easily determine whether you need the ultrafine bars or not. For all applications, which are mainly the processing of carpeting, cardboard boxes, carvings or demand in the paper industry, this fine ceramic rods highly polished edge is a 'Spyderco knife sharpener Ultrafine Stone "advantage.
In the kitchen, however, you will quickly discover the highly polished by the 'Spyderco knife sharpener Ultrafine Stone "edge that is derived tends helplessly skidding with her on a ripe tomato, fresh asparagus, a to be prepared roast pork, pork belly, separating silver skin or a sausage skin . This is where the dynamic can-do 'bite' of slight sawtooth, to the medium (brown) ceramic rod leaves on the cutting edge, perfect. This user does not need the ultrafine bars.
And then there are the users of the Third Kind: Those who have both applications in the repertoire. Typical of these are hikers, campers, climbers, outdoor specialists and generalists of every kind for this it is quite appropriate to apply the "Spyderco knife sharpener Ultrafine Stone." - But only mild to keep a residual part of the teeth and thus the best to avail of both worlds.
Essential and determines the overall cutting capacity is also by the software, no matter what grindstone which takes place the removal of the resulting ridge - but that's another story '

PS: The fourth group - the user of jagged knives / Bread knives for example baguettes, sourdough bread, cakes or buns are adequately served with brown Spyderco ceramic rods and do not require the ultrafine bars. The medium brown ceramic rods that come with the Spyderco basic system, also serrated knives with the Spyderco system can be brought back on track.

That a polished cutting unnecessary - which is precisely polished ...
