    Default Blade sharpening

    I have a couple/few knives that I would like to get sharpened. Does anyone do it? Or can anyone suggest a good source on getting it done, or sources on how to do it properly?

    Admittidly, I have never sharpened a knife, at least not one that I cared anything about.

    We should have a blade forum here. I know this is a gun board, but guns and knives kinda go hand in hand.

    Thanks for any help

    If they aren't too bad, I do have the quick and dirty honing stuff close at hand.. If they need a full blown sharpening,, I'd have to dig around a bit..

    Too bad you're not closer to Pueblo. I'd be happy to hook you up. I have everything from #60 grit super coarse aluminum oxide to #1200 grit ceramic stones. I'm pretty good at it. I don't touch serrated blades though. IMHO, all they're good for is cutting bread and cutting rope.

    Nope no serrated blades.

    I would really like a nice clean edge on them, I am kinda picky about things.

    Its really something everyone should know how to do really. You never know when you are going to need to sharpen a knife.

    I've tried to sharpen knives a bunch of times through out my life. At one point I came across a used knife sharpening kit. You know the kind, block of wood, two metal rods and a wooden dowel. I've tried to sharpen stuff but never noticed any difference. Then a while ago I picked up a cheapy Cold Steel blade and tried sharpening it with that kit I have. I can tell you right now, that apparently I had never felt an actual SHARP knife until I was 26 years old. I couldn't even believe the difference it made. I have no idea how I did it either, or why it worked on this knife and none of the others.

    Conclusion, I too, would like to know the proper procedure for sharpening knives.
