Sharpening A Campbell-Randall Skiver Blade

Recommended Posts

Recently I purchased a Campbell Randall Keystone splitter and skiver. It's just the same as the Weaver Heritage or Osborne I guess. Looks like a good quality product. I bought it new and thought the blade would be sharper that what it is. Does anyone know the proper way to sharpen this blade? I do have a surface plate which is about as flat as you can get if I need a flat surface.

Steve:

Before using a stone, I would recommend stropping (honing) the blade.

Here is a video for the process.

This would be better for normal edge maintenance.
