ThomasPowers Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Everything from a hammer to hard arkansaw black stones---depends on what I'm sharpening. I've picked up some nice old artificial and natural stones over the years at the fleamarket---a buck or two for stuff that's quite expensive in the stores. Sure they are grimy but they can be cleaned. (I will not suggest the dishwasher method to anyone who is married!) My best finds were when I was living in Arkansas and got a few *large* stones suitable for doing swords. I store my smaller stones in old cotton socks in a drawer of one of my workbenches. A good old stone will last until it's worn in two---or dropped. A lot of the modern cheap stones are too hard and so do not wear to fresh grit but just glaze over and are a pain to get back in shape.

LDW Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Belt sander and buffing wheels with three different grits and one polishing wheel. Keep in mind that buffer is probably the most dangerous tool in the shop though, you have to have a firm grip of the item your sharpening. And have the wheel positioned so if it jerks a knife out of your hand it can sling it straight down. If you want it slick then hand sand the edge up to 1000 grit before you hit it on the buffing wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I use bladesmith technology. does that answer your question? Technology doesn't do any work, the tools, used by a person yes, I sure hope this IS a salesmen, I haven't seen Glenn sic the german shepards on a salesmen in a long while :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnsrgn Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Worksharp 3000 for Wood working edge tools, scary sharp for other things with finishing by fine oil stone and then stropping on rough side of leather and finally stropping on smooth side of leather with jewelers rouge on it. OOOhh, Sales pitch's are frowned upon here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
