Hi
Not been here for a while but just bought a new grinder and have gone up to 72 inch belts. I have bought some Hermes 515 cork/carbide belts but do I have to soak these first in water to break them in or anything else to prep them.
Also how do you guys use them and for what finishes ? I have seen on the Hermes site the can be used for satin finishes but can they also be used with rouge for a mirror finish. Any images of knives finished with them would be a bonus in order to see what can be achieved.
Thanks
Pete
