HOW DO I USE A SHARPENING STEEL?
What usually happens when a knife loses its sharpness is that rather than chipping, the top of the edge bends to one side. The sharpening steel works by aligning the edge back into a central position. Our sharpening steel is a smooth polishing steel which gives the knife edge maximum sharpness by aligning the edge. There is a coarser side of the steel that is used for grinding when the edge is more ragged. Remember to finish sharpening with the polished surface. To sharpen the knife, pull the knife’s edge a few times lightly against a sharpening steel with a 15-20 degree angle. Switch between both sides of the knife. The knife should be placed against the sharpening steel at the same angle as the blade has at the top of its cutting edge. This angle between the sharpening steel and knife edge must be maintained while drawing the knife from the back to the tip. The pressure against the steel should be relatively high, if the edge is very damaged, to push it back into alignment, and then gradually reduced to a feather light stroke at the last pull.
WHAT EQUIPMENT SHOULD I USE FOR SHARPENING?
It all depends on what resources and equipment you’ve got at hand. For more advanced users a TORMEK grinder at home may be an option (they also have plenty of informative and educational videos available on YouTube). In the field more easily carried diamond sharpeners (medium/fine and extra fine) come in handy. For an extra last touch, finish with stroping the knife on the back side of a leather belt.
