Comparison of techniques
Wet or dry sanding?
Do you find it difficult to choose the right sharpening method?
On the one hand cheap, on the other hand...?
dry grinding....
The cheaper and coarser dry grinding requires significantly less grinding and time than wet grinding.
However, the sharpness of the cutting edge must be treated more often during dry grinding and the material of the knife shrinks
significantly faster.
Our years of experience help,
to avoid such errors during dry grinding.
We treat the material gently without overheating it during grinding.
But despite all this, we always recommend the…..
....wet grinding
The wet grinding step is more time-consuming,
but stands out due to some advantages.
At lower torque (96 rpm) of a grinding stone,
which constantly moves through a water bath,
The steel to be ground is permanently cooled.
Your tool is much more durable .
You should consider this when cost analysis take into account.
Microscopic examples

Some cheap grinding machines only roughen the blade and initially give it a sharp edge,
which disappears after a short time.
