TwinOaks Report post Posted February 15, 2015 absolutely! There's a video on the Weaver site that shows precisely how to do it (I'll see if I can find and link it). 30 min later, and I can't find it....maybe one of the other members knows where it is. My google-fu is weak tonight. Here's how you do it- first inspect your punch to make sure the edge is flat and not chipped anywhere. If it is, place it edge down on your sharpening stone and work it until you have a uniform edge, even if it isn't sharp. Then, hold the bag punch at the correct angle and sharpen the long sides in even strokes, no back and forth. When you do the rounded ends, start at one side and roll the punch along as you push the edge into the stone. Always push the blade to avoid getting a burr on the edge. You may have to work through several grits of stone, depending on whether you're sharpening or actually having to reprofile the edge. Once you've got your edge sharp, strop it.
