Sharpening Leather Skiver

Recommended Posts

I have a Fortuna Skiver and no matter what I do the bell knife's edge is not sharp enough.

I've got the feeling it has to do with the angle of the sharpening but cannot figure out how to change that.

I have change the sharpening stone with a brand new original Fortuna,

I always sharpen the sharpening stone with that special wheel tool.

I'm confused....any help?

Thanks

Is the blade in the same position as you have it when skiving? If not, put it at that position and sharpen it from there.

Also, when you say you're using a "tool" to sharpen it, are you talking about the deburring tool or the stone wheel built into the machine (which should spin while the machine is on if it's engaged)?

Finally, watch this video...

It's for an FAV machine, but is very, very similar to the Fortuna...
