Ringer Report post Posted December 5, 2015 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simontuntelder Report post Posted December 6, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
