Sharpening and Knife Making

Description

A complete guide to knife making, sharpening, and tool maintenance for woodcarvers.

Woodcarvers understand the feeling of satisfaction, ease, and higher quality of carving that comes from using a well sharpened, honed, and polished tool. (A sharp tool is safer to use than a dull one, after all.) In a process handed down from his grandfather, Jim Watson teaches sharpening techniques for numerous knives and other woodcarving tools in various sizes and profiles.

The book includes:

Methods for reconditioning and making your own knives and tools for woodworking
Information on resurfacing sharpening stones
Tips on proper sharpening (kitchen knives and pocket knives included), plus the materials needed for the job

By following Jim’s instructions and adding a little practice and patience, everyone will be able to achieve and maintain a superior edge, as keen as the piece of steel will allow.
