Hey everyone, I ordered a couple of Veritas pmv11 bench chisels,
I was wondering what if anything I should do to prepare them for first use.
I gather I shouldn't lap them, and I plan to hone a secondary bevel. My question is should I polish the back? Soften the edges (I know I need to keep the first 2 inches or so). My setup is a lie Nielsen honing guide, shapton pro 1000, 5000, and 12000 and an atoma 400 diamond plate.
Would love to hear different techniques worth considering
Thanks,
Assaf
