Hapstone Premium CBN

I do deep reprofiling of chef’s knives. Sometimes I have to take the entire micro bevel off to a 90° dead flat geometry in order to start. Sometimes it’s really bad chipping. But mostly it’s chef’s sharpening these knives themselves over a decade - or more! - since purchasing it. I routinely come across Japanese western style knives that have a factory micro bevel set to 12° only to find it hit my table with 30° angles. So 60° total. They sharpen it and it feels dull. The Hapstone 80grit is a good stone for serious restoration. I’m extremely happy with this really useful stone in my tool kit. Fast shipping and excellent customer service. I had a question and they emailed back in a few days with extremely thorough and actionable data and advice.

I have the 2k and 5k , after flattening both 4 times they both started working great. The picture attached is only up to 5k no stropping .

I have the 2k and 5k , after some time with sic powder and glass they both worked great !
