Guys I have a natural stone that I can't use to sharpen a standard
stanley and a qiangsheng blade with. Practically nothing happens,but
as soon as I use my Mujingfang blade, the stone starts working and
I see black swarf/slurry being produced.
In terms of toughness/hardness the Mujingfang blade is first and the Qiangsheng
blade is second. The stanley blade is least tough AFAIK. So my original thinking
was that the least toughest blade should be the easiest to sharpen, but it was
the other way round. So now I am thinking the Mujingfang blade which is HSS
is perhaps hard enough to make the stone release its own particles which the other
two blades can't do and which is why they cannot be sharpened on the hard natural
stone.
What do you think?
