For grinding the previously about 5 minutes in water lying stone were per blade side not more than 10 trains String (once in 10 ° angle with a little pressure to front and with 15 ° angle with less pressure to back) necessary. First I used the 2000 page, after the 5000 page for the finish.
Who will score at first not so good results, need to look at a few explanatory videos and instruction manuals on the Internet ev.. However, there is ground partly what it's worth, which is not necessary in my opinion. It should be borne in mind that the metal of the blade not overly worn, but only to be brought back into shape. The blade of a knife should Kücken a slightly convex (back a little slightly rounded from the top) get cut, the clarity and stability at the same time offers. For the grinding angle, the pressure and grinding motion on the watered grindstone is crucial. Personally, I press the blade with two fingers on the blade point no stronger than a coconut weighs in on the stone and run with the other hand the knife at a slight angle from the blade tip to the blade end with continuous back and forth pulling on the grindstone.
