Sharpening knives?

[6mm Remington]

@6mm Remington definitely knows the business of sharpening knives. I sent him a Buck 103 skinner a few years ago (a knife that I got for my 10th B-day and never could put the perfect edge on), and it came back sharper than a Gillette. Thanks again man, I really appreciated that!

It was my pleasure doing that for you!

So 6mm can we connect after hunting season to have you sharpen ?

We can. Just got out of my sling after shoulder surgery in October. Give me a couple months and then give me a shout. Should be ready to go.

I am terrible at sharpening because I haven't taken the time to learn it properly but I'm buying some new items to help me get to where I need to be. I am looking forward to getting better.

6mm-remington have you ever sharpened a hand made machete? My old roommate was an Army special forces guy and he was sent to Malaysia for a jungle tracking course and they laughed at his machete so they made him one that they use. It's made from an old lawn mower blade with a custom bamboo handle and sleeve. It weighs about 20 ozs. and used to be really sharp. He had another made for me and it was a great blessing.

Always satisfying to bring an edge back to life.

Similar story here. A buddy had a Buck that was sentimental to him that someone wrecked up pretty good with a belt machine and had some tip abuse.

I have not sharpened one like that. Looks like it would be challenging.

I've always wanted a Wicked Edge. I'm thinking that Lansky looks like a much more affordable option.

It's not my favorite activity in the world but I don't mind it. I've got the Workshop Professional Precision Adjust and it does a really nice job (definitely worth the upgrade from the original). I usually set it up on the coffee table, turn on a football or hockey game and just knock out a few knives.
