Sixer Report post Posted July 29, 2011 My freehand groover has lost it's groove! Is there any way to sharpen this tool... or just I just need to order a new one? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbusarow Report post Posted July 29, 2011 When this happened to me the small hole was just plugged up. A little careful scraping of the back side of the hole with a sharp awl got it working again. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted July 29, 2011 IF IF IF you need to actually sharpen it, consider getting some cordage a little larger than the hole and pulling it through backwards. You can load up the cordage with rouge and basically strop the inside of it. When sharpening, be very careful to avoid developing a burr on the edge- it's a VERY fine bit of metal that can fold over and cause a blunt edge. Avoid it by sharpening into the blade, not away from it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
