That is how I check them to see if they are sharp enough to put them away. I also try to keep my axes and hatchets as sharp as I can and have had more then one person get surprised when I can skin a deer with an axe [Reply]   [No Email]

Ceramic rods will do the final touch. I don't remember, when I sharpened my kitchen knives. Before I put them away, the get a few shots on the steel, even the serrated ones. Much better to get cut with a sharp knive, dull ones will leave a wide gash. Guido. [Reply]  [No Email]

Here is what i use for my knives. The wet stone is about 12" long, and sits inside a piece of cherry that I routed out. This makes the stone stationary.Legs and non slipp material finished the tool. Also I have a set of ceramic rods which I use after the stone. It works for me......................... Guido. [Reply]  [No Email]

Many like to run there fingers across the blade to check them and I then in turn say give it back to me so I can not fix what you just messed up. When I do that they just like at me and say what. Learned years ago your finger tips have enough acid etc in them to take the edge off the blade the moment you touch it. But then I was taught to sharpen knifes by the son of a guy who did the scalpels used in hospitals years ago [Reply]  [No Email]

Most every thing else is sharpened with more bevel and only touched up enough for the intended task. [Reply]  [No Email]
