Can you sharpen a knife?

[SSSnail]

Well, can you?

 

[irishScott]

I'm no knifesmith, but I can put a decent edge on a kitchen knife.

 

[zinfamous]

I sharpen them with my penis.

 

[lxskllr]

Yup

 

[BoomerD]

Yes, but I don't use zin's penis. I require something a bit bigger and MUCH harder for my knives.

Well enough to circumcise a gnat.

 

[zinfamous]

It's OK. I save my penis for only the most special curmudgeons. ^_^

 

[Leros]

Yup.

 

[waggy]

[BoomerD]

It's OK. I save my penis for only the most tiny of knives. ^_^

I have to be able to sharpen a knife. When I got a sample of the granite I used for the kitchen, I had to pay a $10 deposit on the 18"x18" piece. Unfortunately, I got paint on the back of it, so I figured I couldn't return it. Besides, it's a 35-40 minute drive each way to the place I got it.

So, I now have a granite cutting board. Works great as a cutting board - easy to sanitize. Easy to clean. Hell on the edges of knives. So, every time I use a knife on the cutting board, I sharpen it.

1000/3000 japanese wetstone and a canvas/leather strop for my kitchen knives and/or straight razor.

The methodical motion and sound is soothing, especially when you do it just right and the blade rings.

 

[Matthiasa]

Does a hunting knife with a stone count?

 

[OverVolt]

I have a knife sharpening obsession, so yes. They can't possibly be sharp enough, ever!

Not until I can see my reflection in it, if I see one little tiny micro serration in the blade off I go. All my knives are scary sharp.

Any knife you buy in the store is generally dull when you buy it.

When I was a teen my best friend's Dad had a two sided oil stone that was like 2 1/2" X 12" now you never see anything that big. That was so nice for sharpening.

 

[Howard]

yes. but i do take my kitchen and work knives in to a professionalism once a year.

In to a what?

 

[Howard]

Yes, I do mine on a belt sander.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Yep . but drill bits theres a skill.

 

[midwestfisherman]

Yup, I use a good old fashion Arkansas whetstone when I want to really put a nice edge on it. For in between I use a quality ceramic setup purchased from Spyderco.

I thought everyone had those wet stones. I guess not.

 

[Squisher]

Yes, I do mine on a belt sander.

Although it'll do ok, it's not really dead flat. The cutting edge will be rounded toward the edge.

Yep. I aim for a convex edge.
