DavidL Report post Posted March 28, 2014 The knife I'm talking about is a japanese utility knife. It has a 4 cm edge that is suppose to be straight. But there is a sight dip in the middle that is 1-2mm, making the left and right of the knife extend further out. How do i strop/ grind the edge so that it is straight? Also only one edge is a cutting surface does grinding the other edge help the cut? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverwingit Report post Posted March 31, 2014 You best option is a commercial wood chisel sharpening jig like this Veritas Mk II Honing Guide: http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2005515/16822/Veritas-MK-II-Honing-Guide.aspx Barring a fine tool like that, you can make your own sharpening jig. Far all manner of suggestions for doing that, Google "chisel sharpening jig." Good luck, Michelle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidL Report post Posted April 2, 2014 For anyone that has the same problem - uneven knife edge I took the knife and ran the cutting edge on the sharpening stone until the edge was parallel, cut it on the stone at a 45 degree angle to put a secondary bevel and finished it up like a normal blade.
