New mates new scratches
A few weeks ago I asked you what were your favourite methods and gear to sharpen and care for your carbon blade. After reading your posts and searching online, I went for the small and thin Victorinox. I liked the simplicity of it and the very transportable format of the object.
I've used it straight away on my Opinel and if I think that I've managed to sharpen it enough, during the first strokes I managed to scratch the blade when I was going to the tip. It was annoying at first because the brightness of the marks contrasted with the dark patina but after eating a few appels, it's already fading out.
Oh well it'll be part of its life and a testimony of my journey through Opinels and sharpening tools. Bear in mind that I had never sharpened anything before !
