Title: Surprised
Review: I was let down by these jointer knives for two reasons: 1) There is a healthy burr on them which required honing, 2) worse yet the blades have a bow in them, which then require firm pressure to the honing plate to knock down the burr. Otherwise only the ends of the blade back would get cleaned up. In fact there's enough of a burr that the bevel-edge will require honing as well.Due to the bow in the blades, I'm not sure if my Veritas honing jig will straighten them out to clean up the bevel.If I wanted to screw around with tuning up knives, why would I have bought new ones?Hope you have better luck.
