    Sitting here on my front porch enjoying the rain. Thought I’d take what I have laying around and make a sharpening jig… I almost forgot how much I love freehand :side:

    So with the angle set, do you just try n keep the blade horizontal at all times? Raining here to…good day for sharpening! Cheers man!

    Yeah. I just try keeping the blade as parallel as possible without putting too much thought into it. It’s definitely not as fun as actually freehand sharpening on a bench stone…
