Knife Sharpening

[KevDen2005]

I have a CRKT half straight/half serrated blade that is dull as crap.

Any suggestions on who can sharpen it?

I finally got tired of having to take my knife to get sharpened, and it seemed like it was hit or miss getting a decent edge. A couple months ago, I purchased a Lansky Knife sharpening kit, and let me tell you, that is one of the BEST investments i've made. If you are nearby, i'd be willing to throw a nice edge on it for you. My daily carry is a CRKT, and i've got a razor sharp edge on mine, but again I highly recommend getting a Lansky kit.

EDIT: I bet there are a bunch of people here who would gladly show you how to sharpen your knife on your own. You could probably buy the stuff for the same price as taking it some where.

[KevDen2005]

Oh Stuart, I can sharpen my own knife, just not a serrated edge. And I really hate sharpening the straight portion because it is such small portion of the blade.

[Irving]

I've been enlightened.

2-5 minute job with the proper equipment. [Tooth]

This. I got a Lansky kit some years ago myself, and added the serrated blade stone as I have several half straight/half serrated blades myself. You can put a great edge on in just a few minutes, and it isn't difficult.

Here's what the kit looks like. The serrated stone is the one at the top, it has a triangular cross-sections and is radiused to allow use on nearly all serrated blades. This place has a good price on the kit, too.

I'm not a serious knife guy, but I like 'em sharp at least, and I can't do it well to save my ass. I've seen those Lansky's before, and always wondered about them, been wondering even more lately. So they work good, huh? Can a moron like me operate one?

[Irving]

Book marked. Thanks TroubleCo.

They do look tempting. I had a Spyderco kit which worked well. It fit into a small plastic case and served well in the field. Being small it got lost when I moved. The Lansky kits looks to be even more idiotproof.

We are Spyderco dealers here at the shop (due to multiple customer requests). They have a number of sharpening systems available (I can usually have them in 1-2 working days). Of course, CO-AR15 members will get a discount [Beer]

Suitable for plain edges, serrated edges, fish hooks, broad heads, and just about anything else you can think of to sharpen.

They are completely idiot proof, they have 4 or 5 (can't remember off the top of my head) slots, for varying degrees of sharpness. You can buy a basic kit, and then add different stones as you go, or buy the mac daddy kit. For what it's worth, I couldn't sharpen a knife to safe my life before I got the Lansky. Now my blade is sharper than any shop has gotten it.

I also have a Lansky kit, works great.

[StagLefty]

+1 on the Lansky system it's what I've used for years. Keep a Smith diamond hone in my BOB for touch ups. [Beer]

There is a reason I don't have serrated blades. ;)

I broke down, a couple of years ago, and picked up a Lansky setup. This was to replace my 30+ yo whet stones. I never could get the angle I wanted. Ended up using the stones freehand. They are pricey but nice stones.

They have some less than stellar reviews on city search but since they are close and I don't own a $1000 Shun knife set I'll give them a try.

[Byte Stryke]

I prefer to keep mine dull, Broken tip, Large notches in the edge.

Tears the flesh better, causes more wound bleeding.

I don't either. I just want one 8" Shun chopper. [ThanksG]

I have a guy, in west Boulder county, that does beautiful work. I just had him do my yearly kitchen knife sharpening. He also did a set of Marple chisels for me. Brought them back to their original bevels. Very nice.

Anyone who is interested, shoot me a PM.

I bet it won't make the libtards any 'sharper'.

[beast556]

I'm going to have to brake down and get a sharpner soon. I'm tired of sending them back to the manafacture to get sharpend.

[JoeT]

there's a guy at the tanner show that does it for $5

He did an awesome job on my Gerber D.M.F.

he's normally in the main room 4th or 5th row
