Hi,
I just received in the mail the the knife sharpening kit with large & small holders.
I really would like some feedback from users of this kit as I am really not impressed, which is a bit disappointing as I am so impressed with the Sorby Pro Edge.
The kit is very well made obviously being a Robert Sorby product. I have seen the posts that suggest marking the plate to repeat grind angles but am not convinced about that as each knife blade width will affect the grind angle. The small blade holder seems to be quite useless as when flipped to grind the second edge the adjusting screws rest on the belt.
I have used several knife sharpening systems successfully before so I am not a total novice.
I am seriously thinking of selling this kit. I am in Vancouver Canada if anyone is interested.
My previous belt grinder was a Viel, made in Quebec, it had a very simple plate that could be easily adjusted to the required grind angle with a simple gauge and was totally repeatable on different size knives.
