White 2 edge maintenance, when are you actually touching it up?
I recently bought my first knife in White 2 and have been using it heavily for about two weeks. Intentionally looking for meals that require a lot of knife work. As you do.
Brand new it would glide through a paper towels, shave hair, do all the party trucks. It no longer does, which I expected eventually but it seems a little premature.
The actual cutting hasn't really changed. I'm guessing that's partly because the knife is so thin behind the edge. So I'm not sure If I'm ready to put it on the stone. I'll probably wait till it starts crushing herbs and such.
So I guess my question is: Is this typical of White 2?
Are you touching it up on a finishing stone as soon as it loses that "hair-shaving" edge? Strop it until performance starts to drop? Or wait until you notice it truly struggling before going back to the stones?
I'm mostly curious what everyone's maintenance routine looks like for carbon.

Can anyone explain the purpose of the glass jars?
They're placed in rings and it looks like plants are/were planted in the center.

Looks like they can be triggered by high humidity. That makes sense because I've had them under a humidity dome. Should I scrap the dome? Leave it? Mound soil around them? Do nothing? This is my first time growing tabacco so excuse this if it's a commonly asked questions or occurrence.
