hidepounder Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) If you send it to me, I'll see if I can sharpen it for you. Everyone thinks you can't sharpen a ceramic blade, but I,ve sharpened them after dropping mine on a concrete floor. I've never sharpened a ruby blade, but I believe I can. I engrave silver and use diamond impregnated wheels to sharpen my engraving bits. These wheels cut the ceramic just fine and I think would do the same to a ruby. Send me a PM and I'll give you my address.Pete, you could have modified your Henley to take a ceramic blade and kept that great knife. Troy.....I think you're about to need a another manager............................. Edited December 10, 2008 by hidepounder Quote
Members TroyWest Posted December 10, 2008 Members Report Posted December 10, 2008 Well, so far it's only 2 swivel knife blades. How many can there really be out there? Quote
Contributing Member Denise Posted December 11, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 11, 2008 Troy, it is three by my count. Freddo, Tina and Wolvie. That's upped your new business 50% already. Better clear out your schedule to make the time! Quote
Members TroyWest Posted December 11, 2008 Members Report Posted December 11, 2008 You're exactly right. Apparently I cant add. When you get into those big numbers, it just confuses me. Quote

"Just a cut above"! Well Bob, You said that so well, you're my first choice for manager................. I can see it now, " Wild West Blade Works, this is Bob." " Hello Bob, I've got a blade I need to sharpen. Have you ever used one of these things?" " Well sure I have. I just make so much more money now that I'm a manager." Quote
Members StolpSaddles Posted February 13, 2009 Members Report Posted February 13, 2009 You can touch up a ceramic blade with a wet stone. I just got 2 from tandy and needed (as usual) to have a finish to them, Uses 800 then 1000 then 4000 grit japanese water stones now the bevel shines like a mirror.

Members nobearsyet Posted May 23, 2009 Members Report Posted May 23, 2009 4 Maybe, I just bought a used lot of tools from a saddler that is going out of business and was told there are several Ruby blades and several Cermaic blades in the lot and most of them need sharpening. Quote I really need to learn what I'm doing, then maybe I won't make too many more mistakes. But then again people have always told me I am over ambitious.

Members nobearsyet Posted May 24, 2009 Members Report Posted May 24, 2009 Quite possibly, I'll let you know how many when it all gets here. Quote I really need to learn what I'm doing, then maybe I won't make too many more mistakes. But then again people have always told me I am over ambitious.
