I’m new to sharpening knives. All I know is I’m buying a Kukri knife tomorrow, and I need a simple "beginner’s guide" if you will to sharpening knives. I wanna get a pretty fine edge on it(high sharpness)
All I have right now is a "Hard Arkansas Stone." I know I’ll need lubrication oil for it as well, but I’m concerned about technique. What exactly do I need to do to sharpen the knife accurately and correctly? Thanks in advance.
i just bought a sharpening stone and wanted to ask what would be the best oil to use for when i sharpen knives does it have to be a specific oil or will wd-40 do please help
Like step-by-step how to. Reason is all my knives need sharpening. This includes a K-BAR, two Swiss army knives, and a old Leatherman. I received a Gerber machete for Christmas, and it is a real quality tool, except for the blade being quite dull. The Mosin Nagant bayonet could use some sharpening up too.
I know a need a sharpening stone, but which ones are the simplest to use? How do I angle the blade when sharpening it?
I am quite embarrassed to post this, considering how long I have used & abused my knives without ever knowing how to sharpen them.
I’ve had a SOG SEAL Team Elite utility knife for a while now and have made pretty good use of it… however, the blade is now pretty dull (only the straight edge though, the serrations are still sharp) and it needs sharpening. I am just worried that I’ll mess up the blade if I use any old stone to sharpen it because SOG brags that their knives are made of AUS-8 steel that is heat and cryo-treated so they’re extremely durable and hard. To me, this sounds like a diamond stone isn’t hard enough to sharpen the blade and that I may need to send it in to be professionally sharpened with a laser or something. But I really don’t have that good of a clue… so do you think I can use just a regular stone to sharpen the knife or not?
i dont have sharpening stone i need to sharpen asap cause its dull
i have a dull knife that i dont use and im intrusted un sharpening it, is there a way to do it with out a sharpening stone or grindinders?
,I have a old diamond grit ‘stone’ that is either worn out or gummed up with metal cuttings and no longer cuts into the blade of a knife. Is there any way of resurrecting the grit on this ‘stone’ so it will sharpen another knife?
I found this when I searched ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061201223601AAxq8N4&show=4 ) but I don’t have any money to spend on a wet stone, or anything else. I need a way to sharpen one without spending any money at all. Please help?
Thanks to all who answer.
note: it is just a simple pocket knife, nothing extra, nothing fancy, no case or anything, just the knife witha dull blade.
I have alot of knives, but the one I use mostly is my KA-BAR, it is the utility version with a serrated edge in the bottom 1/4 of the blade and I was wondering if there are any other ways of sharpening it, besides using a grinding stone with oil.
Believe it or not, I’ve never bought from amazon but i’m planning to buy a new knife from there and some sharpening stones. Do they ship everything in one package, or do i have to wait for separate packages?
Also, how long is their shipping time?
