I'm wondering how you all keep your knives sharp. I've done some searches and found people on a few different forums talking about this system so I thought I'd ask to see what you thought. Do you use it? Do you prefer it? I need a good way to keep my skinning knives sharp, especially the points!

They work very well!


A "half truth" is still a whole lie.

Thank God for your blessings!

Work great - can't imagine a quicker or better way of getting a knife shaving sharp.

Once you try the paper wheel, you will never want to use anything else. It will spoil you FAST. I keep an extra set on hand so I NEVER have to be without it. It is just plain scarry how well it works.

Be sure to keep the grit waxed with the included wax.

I have an Aunt that does it at bass pro with the paper wheel, I am very impressed with it and I have had had several people comment on how sharp they stay. I think a lot of it depends on the quality of the knife If you need to buy one just let me know I know she sells them

I bought my from Dunn Knives at the NTA Convention when it was in PA around 1999 or 2000. It works great.

hmmf...never heard of it

i think i'll try loading a felt wheel up with abrasive though, then finishing it with a basic jewelers polishing compound

doubt i'll ever do silversmithing again, so i can donate my felt wheels to the cause \:\)

I have a stitched muslin wheel on my bench grinder. Use 220 grit polish on it. Works great. Restores the edge in about fifteen seconds.
You can get the wheel and the polish from Brownell's.

Hey White, if you go to services like Pasadena said and then sharpening you'll find it.

Thanks guys I found it finally. Disappointed to see (as I suspected) that it requires electricity.

I thought you were an old foagie that remembered the olden days.



Just use one of those in combination. Get the sucker spinning, then hone your edge. You may need a metal disk or something to build momentum, but it will work. I used to get one of those spinning and it seemed like it ran forever...granted, I was 4, but it was still fun to play with.
