Friend of mine blacksmithed me a knife from a carbon steel saw blade a while back. It's losing its edge but it's very thick and hand sharpening for about 15 minutes hasn't seemed to do much. Is there any techniques I should use for a larger knife or should I just get an automatic grinder of sorts?

Take it to a knife sharpener

You're buddy who made it can't sharpen it for you?

use a large, coarse tool file. that is what i use on my bush axe.

youtube my dude, dont use a grinder it will heat up the steel and make the edge brittle.

just get a smiths stone on amazon and youll be fine.

depending on the grain you can just use a grinder.

You will loose some knife, but gain an edge you know. You may upset your friend but stoning something like that will take more booze than you got.

there's a professional knife sharpener near richmond virginia. he is cheap. he is good. he is personable.

are you willing to pay shipping?

>not me, and I get no kickbacks. but he did a dozen of mine damned well

make the edge wider, i like a steep angle, it makes for a sharper edge although it dulls easier, but if your not using it to cut down trees why not?
