I just bought an old vintage stiletto but its dull as hell. I’m wondering how to sharpen it correctly (without screwing up the blade). I have a regular kitchen knife sharpener but don’t know if I should use that. Any ideas?
No its like a long block with like a "V"shaped area to run the blade down.
I have a ka-bar Combat knife but it’s blunt as hell. I tried sharpening it with a whetstone but it isn’t sharp enough. I can’t afford to buy any other sharpener. Can you please tell me the proper to sharpen it? I want it to be sharp as a razor.
I bought this titanium dive knife and it isn’t very sharp and I’d like to get a nice edge on it. Can I use the knife sharpener in my kitchen knife block?
I want to get a good knife sharpner for my husband for fathers day. He has lots of knifes. Hunting, skinning, fishing, work and many different pocket knifes. He is he kinda picky when it come to his knifes (and guns) and hunting/fishing gear so I want to get him a good one that he will use. He lost his old one in the river a while back and has been working too much to go find a new one. He had the old one for since he was a teenager and I can’t find the same one pretty sure they don’t make it anymore. He wants them sharp enough to cut his leg hair (thats how he test it to see if it is sharp enough). I need one that will sharpen all blades or maybe a kit sorta thing. Please give me the brand type and store or site I can buy it from. This is his frist fathers day as we our new parents and he made my mothers day good I would like to do the same for him. Please help.
I recently caught the high end pocket knife bug. I bought myself a small Chris Reeve Sebenza pocket knife a few weeks ago and it has gotten a little dull. I tried to sharpen it on an old sharpening stone my grandpa gave me and being unexperienced at sharpening, not only did it seem to make my knife more dull then it already was, it also put a few ugly scratches on the side of my nice knife.
Anyway, getting to the point… I ordered a nicer Spyderco knife sharpener online but I’ve noticed in a few youtube instructional videos that a lot of people use a leather strop on their knife after they sharpen it. I was wondering if I needed to go order a leather strop. What does the strop do for me?
@Colonol: It’s a Small Sebenza. So far it’s the only knife I have other than an old buck knife.
I bought the Gerber ultimate survival knife from my friend. And he is stupid completely ruined the diamond steel that comes with it. So I wad wondering what is a good sharpener…….preferably one at walmart.
But since there is no grip on the sharpener
my house is made of (pink,red) sandstone and there are extra stones and I was wandering if I soak those would that be ok?

I was wondering what the best options were for a pocket knife sharpener. I bought that gerber sharpener thing but it seems to dull the knife more that sharpen it.
so i just bought some swords and i will not have a car to drive to a knife sharpener place. so i have to walk but i want to make sure that by Colorado state laws if i have a unconcealed sheathed sword would i be able to carry them to a knife sharpener place or would i be braking any laws doing that? please give me a link to where i can find this specifically in the law books if you can.
thank you.
