Jointing Sharpening Technique (Cut off that stubborn burr!)

Jointing is the technique in which a foil burr is worked up on the edge. To achieve final removal the edge is then placed perpendicular to the stone and drawn across with the lightest pressure possible. This cuts the burr off and leaves a tiny, clean plateau at the apex. Alternating stropping strokes are then used to feather each side of the edge back into a crispy and sharp apex with nice refined bite.
