need some help with sharping a knife

[jan van loon]

the language is not so good but here i go...

I had a knife made by a knife maker... when i got the knife the trouble started...
the angle of the knife is not good. he won't make it so i have to do it myself... but i dont have any tools... only a file and sanding paper...
It's a scandi grind


i put the uploads here ( not good quality but you knowwhat i mean. )

If it is a scandi grind then the 'angles' of the knife (bevels) should be one single bevel all the way to the edge on each side.

Mine too. From what I could see from the thumbnails, it looks like the bevels are two different angles.

 

[jan van loon]

But yeps, that's the probleme with the knife... two diferent angles

[jan van loon]

sorry guy's but i don't understand that site... i use it to upload music... strange and again i'm sorry about that.

Step 1: Borrow a camera with macro or use your own if you have one.
Step 2: Take a clear picture of the edge, take it outside of your house, but not in full sunlight.
Step 3: Get an account on flickr.com.
Step 4: Upload the picture there
Step 5: Share-grab bbc code, and copy and paste that into this thread.

Than we'll be able to see what's wrong and how you can fix it.

In short you don't fix it. The maker does, or you post on a Knife forum your side of the story with a link in an email to the knife maker.
