March 4, 20197 yr Popular Post I made a knifesharpener maple 3/8" steel rod stock, 5/8" steel rod stock, 4, 1/4-20 bolts and 2 nuts, a 1/4-20 set screw, some 3/8-16 stock, some 2" dia steel, couple of tie rod ends. Little DMT diamond hones and super glue oh and some 1/4" thick steel flat stock I am considering an addition to mount in the jaws to do scissors and maybe other things JUST LIKE TV~!!!!! https://photos.smugmug.com/Tools-I-made-or-Purchased/i-RHpKZvM/0/fddf9298/1920/knife sharpener-1920.mp4
March 4, 20197 yr Author I was having fits with the fancy pants curvy blade on my Sog Vulcan knife. I'd tried wheels on my lathe with abrasive and didn't really like it. My hand stones were a tad wide to be picking up the concave curves. So I looked at a few different commercially available rigs out there. There is a really slick rig from Russia that lets you do one side at a time. The rig lets you rotate the blade holder.. And there is this format I ended up going with. The factory made version of both of them run into the $300 ++ dollar range, which I thought was a bit ridiculous. The Russian rig really does have the many precision machined parts and engineering that justifies their cost - but it's really all overkill. Really, this whole thing could be made from wood except maybe the part that clamps the blade. Edited March 4, 20197 yr by Cliff

March 30, 20197 yr Author so I have been using this thing and I gotta say It is the single best sharpening tool I've ever used.
