The first belt I use when sharpening is blaze(plus) 80 grit. Sometimes I use blaze 60 grit.
It's because, when I have to repair wide bevel(e.g. japanese sushi knife, meat slicer blade, zero convex edge, scandi edge), it takes very long time. I always use slack belt and the direction is edge trailing.
Then I switch it to 120 grit before it makes burr. Do you think is 60~80 grit is too coarse for sharpening?
What is your the coarstest belt for sharpening?
