Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Knife sharpening

You can definitely get your hunting knives sharp with a Work Sharp as with many other processes.

Stones with fixtures will give you a flat cutting edge bevel.
The slightly slack belts of a Work Sharp will give you a slightly convex cutting edge bevel.

Some have strong preference for one or the other. Once you go one way or the other with a specific blade, you will want to stay with that or you will be grinding away metal to re-shape the cutting edge with each change back and forth.

With either final edge, you should be able to touch them up with a treated leather strop for several more uses.

What ever you choose, it will take some practice and personal tweaking to get the most out of that process.

But like some of us, we use bench stones, fixtured stones, slack belts and ..... Just because we are blade nuts.

Sharpening knives can be a one way slippery slope just like making knives has been for many.
