Free one time knife sharpening for members over 500 post count

[montesa]

I’m not interested in sharpening for money. It’s not worth the work. Just like to give back to the forum a bit. I’ve received some really great deals recently and appreciate it.

I use cardboard wheels on a buffer motor. I remove as little metal as possible. I don’t overheat edges or mess anything up. I’m a nerd with it. PM if interested. You’ll have to meet me at the Cracker Barrel on I35 and NE 122nd. I’ll be back two or three days later with your sharp knives. If I get several takers I’ll try to set up a time window to minimize driving.

No swords or machetes.

Poor @RickN, don't think he owns a knife cause all he ever talks about is that sword. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't use it as a steak knife.

We could hire someone to “sharpen” ricks sword.

A sword, sword cane, machete, 4 fixed blade, and several folders. You were saying?

Only four fixed blade? I think I've got closer to forty.

Not counting kitchen knives, a double bit axe and a hatchet. Almost forgot my two boot knives.

Cool offer! A Sharpening Class would be cool to have as well.

I agree. I was given a knife by one of your members with a bit of curve to the blade. I have been watching videos but still a little afraid that I do not know enough.

It would be. I wonder how productive it would be though. It’s kind of hard to learn quickly for most. It was for me.

I’m planning to make some knives soon that anyone can keep razor sharp with no skill. Just with leather on wood and wet/dry sand paper. Basically a 10 degree Scandi grind with a bit of convex. 3/32” steel. Probably AEBL. I want one for myself.

I don’t like how as you sharpen a knife you move up the grind and the edge becomes thicker by default. To keep the same geometry you end up with a wider bevel.

Nice offer!
