I really enjoy experimenting with these “Duper steels” but I actually prefer simple carbon steels like 1070, 1080, 1095, 01, 52100, etc; and in stainless I like the 440 class, 12C27 etc.
For major reprofiling I really need to get a small belt grinder (2” would be great) as I don’t have the patience to do it on stones/plates anymore. I still have a couple of large fixed blades laying around with half to 3/4 reground bevels done by hand due to losing the motivation and patience to finish them. Sharpening is enjoyable to me, major reprofiling without belts isn’t.

Yeah, I prefer the Class I and Class II steels myself also. I also don't like doing relief grinds by hand anymore, although an XC Crystolon or XXC Venev Diamond Waterstone make short work of it if I am in the mood or don't feel like using the 1x30".

Wolfgang,
Nice! I have only sharpened Maxamet once, on diamond waterstones.

Living in Brazil kind of limits our options. A 60 dollars Kuromaku stone gets taxed so high it costs one month working on minimum wage, five days a week. A hand sharpened Japanese knife on good steel would cost a small fortune, lol.
