  1. I would like a little help figuring out the angles on my "western style" Japanese Knives. I Have Misono Knives...The Korin web site recomends sharpening the same angle on both sides(like a german knife), it demos this on a Misono 440... if you look at the knife it is Constructed flat on one side and bev on the other, but when it comes out of the box there is obviously a thin mirrored edge on the back side, ie. it wasnt sharpened flat. I have heard of using the same angle on both sides but using a 10:1 ratio in terms of strokes on the front to the strokes on the back. I have used this technique to some degree of success. I am able to get a mirror shine and it will shave very well, but i havent been happy with the longevity of this blade. I am also interested in sharpening Globals??? Thanks
