Members billymac814 Posted February 21, 2013 Members Report Posted February 21, 2013 I use the slack belt method on that same knife, its the only way I've found to sharpen knives like that effectively. I tried a round stone and while it worked it wasn't great. I even spent 800 bucks on a tormek to find out it didn't really work for most of my knives. The slack belt set up costs about 70 bucks or so and has been a great investment. Bruce Johnson provide me with a link and some advice and its very simple to get great edges. Do a YouTube search of Harbor freight belt sander knife sharpening and you'll find a bunch of how tos. While I'm quite comfortable sharpening my head knives I would like to know how to best sharpen my Al Stohlman Brand Trim Knife. I once ran across some cylindrical whet stones once and regret not buying them. It seems like something like that would be useful for sharpening a curved blade like this. Please advise.
