i sharpen on stones maybe every 6 months--I barely need to touch up the japanese knives in between sharpenings, whereas I'm always wondering if I should whip out the 1500 to put a quick, decent edge back on the fibrox.

is it possible that my built-in/muscle memory sharpening angle isn't well suited for the soft stamped blade of the fibrox? maybe, but i'm not changing my technique for my least favorite knife in the drawer.
