I have a Tops neck knife. The blade profile is so thick and blunt edged that no matter how sharp you got it, it would give very poor cutting performance.
I thnned the edge WAY back and worked the edge with several levels of fine stones then used a strop. Then did a micro bevel.
This thing is VERY sharp now and cuts much better but..... Look closely at the pictures you will see chippingat the edge. Is this crappy steel? Bad heat treat? What!!!
