Anyone invest in a laser engraver to do custom engraving during a sharpening session? I thought it could be a nice touch and some upsetting.

Got a great Deal on a Tormek T-8 and a Wen unit. The Wen is much louder and runs a bit faster RPM wise. I have these 250 watt portable power units to power cash register and such in case I go to flea markets or knife shows and just for giggles wanted to see how long these units would power the Tormek and Wen.

I know this is a WE forum but does anyone have experience with a Tormek? Either used it and left it to use WE or maybe use it in conjunction with a WE?

You guys that do this as a primary business or as a part time way to make extra cash. How did you get started? How long did it take? What are some tips to help out a new guy wanting to make it a primary business?

I had a convex 12″ Damascus knife come in. It had bad nicks nearly 1/8 deep and rusted. I bought a Worksharp Ken Onion sharpener to knock down blades witch are super dull.

How can you tell them apart. I mixed my Kangaroo strops up with the rawhide and really can’t tell the difference

How do I get the bevels to match? Do I have to take all the steel off the one side to make them both 13 degrees?

Kenneth replied to the topic Very frustrating. First EDC knife in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 10 months ago

Ty, I need to know how to proceed with a knife that has a 13 degree bevel on one side and a 16-17 degree on the other. Must I sharpen the 17 degree side down to the 13 degree to match?

I will take a picture or 2. It’s a Japanese steel kitchen knife. It’s very long and very thin.
<p style=”text-align: right;”>On a 1 sided blade fo you still sharpen to a burr? If so how do you remove burr? Light pass with a 1000 grit stone?</p>

If your holding the knife in the position to cut and blade is sharpened on the right side is that a right hand knife or left hand?

Kenneth replied to the topic Very frustrating. First EDC knife in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 10 months ago

Ok so I need to fix this Blade. Right side is reading 13.2 degrees and left side 13.1 degrees

Kenneth replied to the topic Very frustrating. First EDC knife in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 10 months ago

Sorry I meant spine

Kenneth replied to the topic Very frustrating. First EDC knife in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 10 months ago

Thank you very much. When you say edge leading you mean your staring you pass from above the blade and come down passed the heal?

Kenneth started the topic Very frustrating. First EDC knife in the forum Basic Techniques and Sharpening Strategies 3 years, 10 months ago

So it feels crazy sharp but after scoping it I see all the chips. Side profile is very defined. I progressed up to 1200 grit

Questions to you guys that work magic how would you proceed?

Thanks Marc. My phone gives me limited functions on here. I didnt even see the small bar used for searching.

I’m pretty new to forums as well as being a completely newbie to sharpening
