RADA Knife Sharpener Recommendation Blade restore

Post by TripleF »

Ended up with OVB Hibbard Spencer equal end cattle knife with peachseed bone.......but the main blade was jacked up.

In an effort to put a new edge one it (without power tools) I remembered the RADA Knife Sharpener removes steel pretty easily and quickly.

Then I finished on sharpening stones.

If you don't have one of these knife sharpeners in your arsenal you might consider adding one.

Scott, that's pretty darn impressive. I wouldn't have thought of using one of those. Looks nice.

Looks like a Bulldozer got a hold of that blade. You did a very nice job. ::nod::
