Taping blades before aggressive reprofiling
Taping blades before aggressive reprofiling
Lately when I use a coarse aggressive stone I've been covering a good bit of the blade with masking tape. I've found scratches from sharpening and this helps to stop it. I know eventually the blade will get scratched but i like to limit it some to actual use. It's done mainly when I'm reprofiling an edge to a lower angle. Does anyone else do something like this?

Absolutely, found out the hard way what course swarth can do to a blade, specifically DLC coated, not as scratch resistant as I thought, pretty much toasted my DLC camo PM2 by not taping the blade.

I don't but I probably should. I scratch the tip area pretty bad when I reprofile,just haven't learned to care :p
