Chicago Cutlery L36 USA Pocket Knife Sharpening Demo
on May 9th, 2011 at 8:52 amGreetings fellow steel brothers!
This might prove to be an interseting steel sharpening demonstration as I ventured out, for the first time, and attempted to restore a knife tip that obviously had a few too many run-ins with a cement block or the side of a mountain. Whoever owned this knife before I, took the "Break Through Point" stamped on the tang, literally.
Allow me to start off by showing the damaged blade. Now keep in mind, I never thought I could possibly restore the point on this folder:
See the tip? Yeah. Bad news boulder.
I borrowed my brother in-laws 2-sided sharpening stone yesterday afternoon and decided to give repairing this mammoth a try. By the way, this knife should be called Brutus the Beefcake……she's gotshoulders. Boulder sholders you know. UMPH!
Anyhow. Here's the results of sharpening a damaged pocket knife:
Not bad for my first knife sharpening experience. Not good, but not too bad either!
And here Brutus is, resting, until his next cutting command:
Steel Sahlute!
