Knife Sharpening by Eric Veidel
nowadays most of us have learnt of 127 Hours, the critically acclaimed pic animated by Aron Ralston, the climber who was immobilized by a boulder in Utah and droped an hour sawing his arm off with a dull knife blade. It's a dramatic film, but I do n't think moviegoers would have had to close up their eyes for so long as if Ralston had carried a sack hone in his pack, or even a little bit of fine-grit emery paper.
Sharpening a knife so that it is keen enough to sever your limb, or, less drastically, skin and meatman a deer, really is n't that difficult. All you really need to render a serviceable edge is a stone, a bit spit and a steady hand, and even the spit is disputable.
True Grit.
Safe and effective bench stones have largely been superseded by diamond-encrusted surfaces and synthetics substance including ceramics and Japanese water rocks. I still prefer a good Arkansas bench stone like the one at right ($ 70 ; knifeart.com), but generally the type of stone is not as important as its grit combining weight. One that sports a medium-coarse grit (325 to 400) on one side and medium-fine 600 grit on the other will cover most sharpening bases. Grandpa invariably prepared his stone with oil, on the assumption that it was needed to float away metal particles during honing. Today, many experts recommend using water or no lubrication in the least. Shell out the extra sawbuck or two for a bench-size stone about 2 1 2 inches wide by 8 inches long. It will have a more substantial surface that will sharpen a blade more evenly than a smaller stone.
Bevel and Burr.
Most hunting or utility knives are ground to an edge bevel of about 20 degrees. The easiest way to maintain that angle is with a blade guide that clamps over the knife's spine, such as the DMT Sharpening Guide ($ 12 ; sharpeningsupplies.com). Drink decaf to keep a steady hand and you wo n't need a guide for blades shorter than 4 inches. Place the edge against the stone at the correct angle and use either your thumb or two fingers on the back of the blade to guide it. With light pressure, push the blade away from you, imagining that you are slicing off a thin sliver of the stone.
Maintain focusing the same face, enumerating strokes, until a thin ridge of steel, called a burr, is raised on the other side (you can feel it by leading your finger past the edge). This means you 've ground the bevel totally flush with the rock. Only then should you turn the blade over.
Utilising the same number of throws, repeat the process on the other side. The blade should now be sharp enough to catch on your thumbnail and shave hairs off your forearm. If you use your knife mostly for slicing cutsfield dressing, butchering, triming cord and woodstop right now. The medium-coarse stone leaves microserrations in the steel that give it more edge surface and bite for executing general encampment chores. For whittling and skinning, particularly fine detail work like caping a head for a prize mount, or if you just want to show off by triming your whiskers, you'll need to progress to a finer-grit stone.
Capstone.
To yield your brand razor sharp, repeat the procedure with a 600-grit stone surface. This removes some of the microserrations left by the coarser stone. Afterward you can polish the edge even keener with a 1,200-grit stone or a leather strop, which I prefer. Prepare the stropa wide leather belt will sufficewith a one time application of a rubbing chemical compound such as alumina. Place the blade nearly level against the strop with the edge facing you and throw the blade down its length, spine first. Flip the blade over and draw it back up. A dozen reps should do it.
I advocate adding on your bench rocks with a sleek and stylish field sharpener made by gluing 400-grit wet-dry emery paper onto a thin plank. It's ticket for touching up an edge when you 're halfway done boning an elkor you need to get through that last inch of gristle and muscle that attaches your hand to your forearm.
