I am fairly new to owning knives. This last year I picked up a couple nice Spyderco folders for work. I just bought my first fixed blade knife, a SOG seal Pup elite (non-serrated). My question is that I need to read up on the proper way to sharpen and hone my blades. Up until now I have just used a cheapo sharpener that doesn't quite give my the edge i am looking for. Any suggestions for tutorial/instructional reading material online and recommendations for a good sharpener? Thanks |
| I use coarse and fine Smith's Diamond benchstones I ordered from Cabelas. Im sure there are cheaper places if you look around. For a finish I use a ceramic rod then strop with a leather belt smeared with simichrome. I dont own one knife that wont shave my arm. As for directons, go to Buck's website and print their instructions. Buy about 6 2-3 dollar chinese knives to practice on. Your guarenteed to screw up the first couple and its better if there cheap. |
