Knives & Sharpening

[sosoe]

Anyone know how to sharpen this bad boy up.?
Its hit a few bones, lungs, etc here and there around town...Gotta keep the maintenance up, its a MUST!

A ceramic rod or a steel aligns the little "teeth" on a blade from normal wear. It's not going to "sharpen" your blade. If you use a knife with any degree of regularity, it's going to need an actual sharpening at some point, regardless of how "hard" you are on it.

And when the blade starts folding over and you run it across the steel it straightens the teeth which makes is sharper than it was. I use knives daily as a cook and run them across my F Dick steel several times during a shift.

I have the Edge Pro Apex and love it. Not the cheapest sharpening kit out there but it's served me well.

x2 I never did get the knack of standard stones, but this makes it quick and easy.

Maybe you should try actually sharpening them for once.

They are Sharp. I sharpen on a belt sanders then finish with the leather belt with green compound.

Use the sidewalk, free and plenty around. I've sharpened some popcycle sticks a prisoner would be proud of.

So you've just proved my point. Simply using any sort of steel or ceramic rod is not going to be enough in the long run.

Lots of people swear by the Spyderco Sharpmaker. I've got one, and also a Lansky diamond kit, and I honestly use the Lansky more often.

I've been lucky... it hasn't needed sharpening yet.

when going through the ribs and it won't touch the bones, the lungs won't dull it.

Years back I used something similar to this to sharpen the knives in the restaurant I managed.

It was a little more utilitarian, but it worked. I kept several 14" butcher knives razor sharp.

I still have the original Ginsu knife set.

I haven't needed another knife since 1978!
