Re: Angles to Sharpen Your Blade
Degrees per side. When you look at the Sharpmaker for example, it shows 30 and 40 degree settings which are the "inclusive" edge angles, with both sides of the blade/edge bevel being added together (15 degrees per side is 30 inclusive). I've been into knives my whole life but before joini...

Re: Angles to Sharpen Your Blade
Of course it is. Now that I see it, I should have been able to figure it out on my own, but it was stumping me. Thank you. :)

Re: Angles to Sharpen Your Blade
A work sharp ken onion has a learning curve on it, you'll want to avoid putting your nice knives on it until you get the hang of it, especially getting the tip area. The work sharp is notorious for rounding the tips on knives When used by inexperienced non detail oriented folks. It also puts on a c...

Re: Angles to Sharpen Your Blade
Well, I was hoping for a concrete answer, but I guess there is none. I’ve never been good with sharpening knives. I can sometimes make a knife duller after sharpening than they were before I sharpened them. Just a plain stone is what works best for me, but I’d like to have something that will produc...

Angles to Sharpen Your Blade
I’m sure this has been discussed over and over, but a search didn’t turn up any solid answers. They varied a lot. I am considering the Work Sharp or the Ken Onion Work Sharp, but I have no clue as to which one would work best for me. My daily carry has been a Delica for at least 12+ years and I have...

My year and a half old thread comes back to life. :o I have not had my Sharpmaker out in all this time. I can not even begin to sharpen my Delica with it. I use a diamond stone that I won in a contest, and still can not put an edge on the Delica, but can come closer than I can with the Sharpmaker. I...

I have had 3 root canals. It’s not all that bad of a procedure if you have a good dentist. However, one of them developed a problem after about 20 years, and I had to have it pulled earlier this month. That was no fun at all. A root canal is more pleasant of a procedure. However, he did let me keep ...

I'm trying to figure out where you live. Not seeing the sun during winter suggests way far north. As it says next to my handle, I’m in Oregon. I’m on the coast, and we had a good solid 6 weeks of rain with about half of those days with gale force wind. My roof is still a mess. Flower beds are still...

Washing Your Spydie
When I first joined this forum, I read of people putting their Spydies thru the wash. I thought, how could any one do that. Well I did it a year or so ago. I have been so careful with it until yesterday. It was a long day in very hot sun. Second time we have seen the sun since February, and the firs...
