Chattering Solutions
Knives that tend to chatter include: Rigotti, Nielsen, Chiaruggi, Chudnow (regular) and some Vitry
- this seems to occur due with the composition of the metal and the type of hardening used
Here is solution that gives very good results:
Use a coarse flat diamond stone to create a burr (on both sides of the knife)
If you have multiple diamond stones, after you create the burr with the coarse stone, create a burr with a finer stone also.
A good source for diamond stones is Harbor Freight.
- these are a block of four stones 200-600 grit and come with a holding block
- these are very reasonably priced (under $15)
After creating the burr, sharpen you knife with the 800/1000 diamond stones on your Wicked Edge sharpener.
Sharpen with finer stones that you may have (800 and above)
Finish by stropping
Set the burr using a sharpening steel or other method
