Rupert,
It is my tool Chef that do it, I just figure out how to help the tool with the correct sharpener, correct pressure (or used weight) and check that all lines are good.
It took me many years to construct Chef, all that work have made that I have not change anything on Chef during the years, it is still the same Chef - and to use it I do not need any other tools, I just use my fingertips. I did all my misstakes during the prototype and testing time. I think that is important.
Today I se how new tools develops with new versions and new parts, for me, that is not a ready tool, that is the prototype and testing time long before a tool are ready for the market. How shall a customer know after som years that he have the model XI C with the holder VIII B when he need a spearpart?
I also see that my constructions and tecnical solutions are used in new constructions.
Chef is a old tool today - but it is still the only tool that can grind a true convex edge in wanted degrees and with wanted convex sphere. I se today that the principal I found out how to sharpen convex edges are used with some different changes of design - and I like that, people use the principle together with their own design.
Chef was the first tool with a built in protractor, adjustble for blade width, fixed distance between the cutting edge and the pivot point, magnetic grinding table, two different width on grinding tables as standard, fine adjustment of the sharpening angle, and so on. Chef was first with 16 different new functions if I remember correctly. Most new tools that come after Chef have a built in protractor (or use the angle Cube) their sharpener holders can hold different length of sharpeners as I use on Chef, and so on. I like that also.
i also see that all tools can tecnical solve how their tools shall be able to grind and sharpen convex edges using the same principle I invented. I know that they can do it very simple. I also know how they can do it very simple. (I learned a lot during the years I made prototypes and experimented with constructions).
So, Chef make the precission grinding job, I am only the engin that moves the sharpener and decide what sharpener I shall use.
