RockRash Report post Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) I bought a weaver punch online for a great deal. After receiving it I found out why. Its dull it takes a a ton of pounding to punch through 8oz leather. Nothing like the other punches I've bought directly from weaver. The edge also looks uneven again not so with my other weaver punches. I've tried stroping but no luck and sharpening something like this is out of my wheelhouse. I know weaver used to have a sharpening service but I can't find any information on that. Does anyone know who I can send this to? A few pictures to show the edge Edited December 30, 2023 by RockRash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted December 30, 2023 I’d call Weaver directly and ask if they still resharpen their own punches. They have cut back on some things with the ownership changes. I don’t get catalogs from them anymore so have nothing recent . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hags Report post Posted December 31, 2023 I use one of those. The first one broke the frame where it meets the handle. The second one (replaced with no issues) has held up much better. Your's does look uneven. I'd try for a replacement. I put mine on the buffing wheel from time to time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll give them a call on Tuesday and report back. 2 hours ago, Hags said: I use one of those. The first one broke the frame where it meets the handle.

The problem is I didn't buy it directly from weaver. I bought it online from a second party seller. I got it almost half off, that seemed like a great deal. However I didn't buy it from weaver so I dont expect any help from them through warranty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockRash Report post Posted January 11 I got a reply from Weaver. "Thank you for your email. Yes, we do still offer sharpening services for the Master Tool Punches. You can just send the punch in along with a note that you would like to have it sharpened and your contact information. Once the service is complete, they will reach out for payment and ship the item back." So for anyone interested they still offer a sharpening service.
