Hi there,

I have a Punching Chisel (not pricking iron) that I want to sharpen.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

It doesn't seem to have angled prongs like a pricking iron, they just seem to lay straight.

It's a F & J Dixon. What would that make it age wise ?

Many thanks for your help

Whetsone/fine grit emerypaper, a couple of fine grit jewellers files and maybe a bench grinder for final polish.

It's called a strap pricker and I don't think you should sharpen it too much.

Sharpen with a couple of needle files and some fine wet & dry paper glued onto a sliver of wood like a lollipop stick
