@Tampan - ok ordered my blade buddy with 3 extra belts. 100, 400 and 1000 g. Do one use oil or water when grinding - or just dry?

Recently honed my Honey Badger. Last night I sliced a ripe tomato into very thin slices. Almost a perverse sense of pleasure

There is something very satisfying in using a sharp knife.

Morning Hein,
Sorry for the delay. I was in the Kalahari and we didn't have any reception there, so no internet. Hein, I don't use anything on the belt or blade when grinding/sharpening. I will keep some water close by when I do aggressive grinding, like putting on a new cutting edge or when I correct the angle on a cutting edge. Just to keep the blade cool by dipping it occasionally.

Although:
For grinding

Maybe Straatkat can point us in the right direction on sourcing machinery ?

Also looking to get a proper bench grinder

Thats a nice axe, dont go making any axe wounds with that

KiLRoy · « **Reply #47 on:** February 18, 2020, 09:33:24 pm »

Mikey, I really enjoyed this. Kept me out of the pub too. Took the axe to the pub. Okes say i must start a business. Problem is two fold. The R500 margin is not worth the many hours and some things are just for joy, not money... so no

Mikie · « **Reply #48 on:** February 19, 2020, 04:34:48 pm »

They let you take it to the pub? Brave chaps at the pub

I dont see it a not worth it, its a hobby, you enjoyed it, all good

KiLRoy · « **Reply #49 on:** February 19, 2020, 08:31:01 pm »

How do one with an uneducated eye like mine measure the edge angle on a knife. In order to set my machine

Krap met ń “sharpie” of highlighter op die edge.
Skat hom en skuur met die band wat die minste materiaal gaan wegvat.
Kyk op die edge of die ink geraak word en pas aan.
