Topic sayies it all: Should the sides of a diamond awl be sharp? That is a knife edge that can cut.
Hints for sharpening? Have have some Osborne #47s, and I have drawn the temper due to their small size, on both the grinder and sander that I have tried to use to sharpen them. Do you guys just stone them? Also, how do you hold them to sharpen? I am having trouble given their small size, holding them and maintaining the edge angle.
