I was sorry to learn that the knife sharpening community has lost an important influencer, prolific writer and videographer, and friend in Vadim Kraichuk, this month. Some may have known him better as "Wootz" from other forums but on Bessex, he was simply known as the, abbreviated, "KG". Vadim was an unabashed and energetic pursuer of the science of knife sharpening. His experiments helped sharpeners distinguish myth from reality and then, he freely shared those findings with the knife sharpening community at large. His presence and contributions will be very much missed. Our thoughts are with his wife and children in Australia.
