CustomsHavlalon style?
That sounds like grinding 1/4” + off… ?Knife Sharpening Didn't Use To Be Such A PITA Like It Is Now!
Alot Of Knives With Good Names On Them Are JUNK Now!
Sharp When You Buy Them & Just Try & Put An Edge On That SOB After She Dulls!
I STILL BLAME MOST OF IT ON CHINA BUILT F'N TRASH!
The Best Way I've Found Tikka Is This:
If You Have Or Get Around A 14" Metal CHOP-Saw With A Metal Cutting Blade!
Hold The Guard Up & Out Of The Way & Sharpen Your Knife On The Side Of The Blade!
It Takes A Rough Blade Like This To Sharpen Them!
DO NOT GET TANGLED UP IN THE CHOP SAW WHILE DOING THIS MANEUVER!
That sounds like grinding 1/4” + off… ?
Much has to do with modern alloys…..I will defer to the experts I know are here. I look forward to their opinions as I am seldom satisfied with my edges.
I know you have Hatfield’s, is that how you do them also?Not If You're Careful!
I Have A Newer Old Timer In My Pocket Right Now!
I Have Several Knife Sharpeners & They Won't Hardly Do Anything With This Newer MADE IN CHINA POT!
Seriously,This Is The Only Way I've Found That'll Sharpen It!
Maybe You're Dealing With A Better Knife Than The One I'm Packing!
I know you have Hatfield’s, is that how you do them also?
Okay that sounds more like it!!! ?I Haven't Dulled A HATFIELD Yet!
But I'd Use My Other Knife Sharpeners First Before I Put One Of My HATFIELDS Up Against A CHOP SAW!
I haven’t, tell me more?You Ever Hear Of a WIRE EDGE Tikka?
Lumpy, I’m in the same boat… My grandpa was great at trapping and knife sharpening and unfortunately I didn’t learn either from him regrettably…I can’t make biscuits and gravy and I couldn't put an edge on a knife if you put a 6.5 Creedmoor to my head.
My father could shave with a soup spoon but he never past those genes on to me.

Bess is that your forum? ?Click On The Link: http://bessex.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=372
kind of......everybody doesn't get their own angle....everyone needs to learn the correct angle....and stick to it. That is what Lansky accomplishes....but teaches nothing for free hand....Learned the hard way here growing up as I taught my boys too. Wet stone, then a simple Smiths diamond, but ya need to learn your own angle for your own edge. I've sharpened countless for friends and families knives sharing the same message. I will sharpen your knife and it will be my angle, if someone else puts an edge to it, I'll not sharpen that knife again. Once your angle is made sharpening can be done quickly and easily. Recreating the edge angle is what takes time particularly with hand honing. My prices are cheap typically about $50 per blade + shipping. Takes on the average 1-2 hours to get a hand honed edge per blade that you can shave with. Some steels take more. Happy to show you my method via video call too. Just takes time, patience, and a willingness to learn.
Or……….. they listen to the salesman explain how well the new technology sharpener works. Place the knife in the correct place, push the rod this way and that rod that way, 4 times. Feel for the edge roll, strop it of with another new and improved device and your done. Kind of like viagra…….. if your blade stays sharp for hour hours…… keep using it.If you make it up to Utah County, there is an older fellow at Cutlery Corner in Orem that does a good job. On cheap knives he might take a smidge of the blade (which is fine by me), but on the better knives he has done a nice job on the knives I have taken in. Not much cost either. They are kitty corner from Gunnies.
Why are there so many knife sharpening gadgets? Because far too many people have hope. Most people couldn't sharpen a knife with any knife sharpener, but they hope they can.
Same with me. I can get most blades shaving sharp hand honing. Once I get my angle, steeling will return the blades sharpness quickly. You don't lose any blade by steeling.Learned the hard way here growing up as I taught my boys too. Wet stone, then a simple Smiths diamond, but ya need to learn your own angle for your own edge.
