Sharpening..

[JakeR]

So it was an honest problem then? I thought you were all joking!

The auto censor was turned on as language was starting to slip into the 'not family friendly' zone.... unfortuanatly the auto censor is a bit over zealous so its starting to be configured to specific words.
It will all be sorted soon

whats the best way to sharpen a knife. i have a boot knife which is bladed on both sides. Do i use wetstone or something, i'm not sure what material you use it with anyway, so any advice will help...(I'm new to all this, bare with me)

I use a spyderco sharpmaker to do just about everything from billhook to nail scisors. Really useful bits of kit and usually a few for export from the US going cheap on ebay.
Cheers

so can any body help me ?????

 

[ESpy]

It wouldn't be a great idea - they tend to be too fast and too small for long edges. Not too bad for chainsaws, from what I've seen. But hey - don't take that as gospel, go forth, try it out & if you can get it sussed, let us know!

 

[Paganwolf]

do you mean the little hobby grinders? all they would do is serrate the edge giving it a tearing action rather than razor cutting edge and would soon dull and not be much good for anything, arnt they called Dremmel's ??

 

[willie]

yea lol there dremmels lol so u wouldnt recomend them not even for an axe
??

 

[Paganwolf]

lol maybe lightly to remove a nick but not too hard as you will destroy the temper on your blade if it heats the edge
