Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - tips for sharpening the back edge of a KABAR?
Posted: 3/25/2021 8:47:21 PM EDT
I wanna put an edge on the reverse "clip" part of my KABAR's tip.


Any suggestions on the best way to go about this?  Best sharpening tool to use?

Start with a course stone and work your way up to ultra fine. That's what I did anyway. I did around 20 passes a side with each stone plus I stropped it 30 or so times per side. It's pretty sharp now.

As above just use a stone to sharpen it.

A narrow stone or a round ceramic stick sharpener will allow edging the curved portion.
