Sharpening a knife?????????????
I have a knife with a stag handle and I want it to be razor sharp. How can I sharpen it?
1-Prepare yourself to avoid common mistakes. The mistakes that are commonly made in sharpening knives are uncontrolled bevel angles, failure to establish a new edge, and leaving the final bevel too rough.
2-Pick an angle to sharpen your knife. If you already know what angle your knife is sharpened at, you probably wish to sharpen at this angle again.
3-Use an angle guide to control your edge's angle, if available. Otherwise, you will have to control the angle by hand, which is hard and requires a well-formed perception of angles.
4-For a symmetrical edge, sharpen the knife by dragging it across the stone in the opposite direction you would move it to slice a thin layer off the stone. This allows a burr to form and prolongs the stone's life.
5-Lubricate your knife. Check with the manufacturer's guidelines for your stone regarding lubrication. The most common sharpening stones are carborundum stones, and are designed to be used wet or dry, but are DESTROYED when oiled. However, there are some stones that are specifically designed for oil, and will generally be labeled as "oil stones".
6-Continue grinding at this angle until your grind goes roughly half way through the steel. This doesn't need to be precise, just well-estimated. For a one-sided edge ("scandi grind", "chisel grind", etc.), do not flip the knife when instructed to do so by this article.
7-Flip the knife over and sharpen the other side of the blade until you create a new edge. The easiest way to determine that you have removed enough metal is to sharpen until you have raised a burr, a feature that steel will naturally form when one bevel is ground until it meets another.
8-Flip the knife over and sharpen the other side of the blade in a similar fashion.
9-Remove the resulting burr by "cutting into" a hone (a finer stone). That is, still holding the blade at the same controlled angle, move the blade in the opposite direction you moved the blade in steps 4-8. Some people feel this step should be done with a dry stone for reasons beyond the scope of this article.
