My 8 year old can sharpen his Kershaw folder to arm hair shaving sharp! lol. Just wanted to post this up to show what a great system this really is!
So I finally went over w/ him how to mount it in the vise, safety, grind and pass direction, how to get a burr, what a burr was, how to remove it, etc. Then I guided him through the process… he did it all from reprofiling/cleaning up the edge w/ the 100’s all the way to the 600’s, reversing the grind direction w/ each progressing grit to make sure the scratches were gone.
It was kind of funny because he started w/ his right hand doing scrubbing but when he moved to his left he said “my left hand is harder daddy” :silly: Told him he had to practice and would get better!
So now the edge has a toothy finish at 600 grit, is arm hair shaving sharp, and can shred phonebook paper :whistle: 😛 Definitely not perfect, and he rounded the tip a little bit, but it’s a great start and shows how short the learning curve is on the Wicked Edge.
