Members SheltathaLore Posted May 2, 2018 Members Report Posted May 2, 2018 I own a set of these knives from Lisa Sorrell: https://sorrellnotionsandfindings.com/product/skiving-knives/ , and I adore them - however, I'm still pretty new to sharpening, and I really wish I could find a jig that would work to hold teh angle for me so I don't have to worry about it (also I tend to injure myself when sharpening, doh). The angled edge and the bevel on both sides keep typical sharpening jigs from working, so I guess I'll have to make one myself. I have access to a milling machine and a 3D printer, but I still need to figure out a design - does anyone have any thoughts? I put a micro-bevel on mine, but I'd be willing to forgo it if necessary. I use water stones to sharpen. Quote
Members Aven Posted May 3, 2018 Members Report Posted May 3, 2018 They're just a double - sided chisel. Check out woodworking sharpening guides. You might find one that will hold it on a skew. The hard part is going to be finding a way to repeat it for the other side and for the next time. If nothing else, it's a place to start for figuring out your jig. Quote
Members baroness Posted May 15, 2018 Members Report Posted May 15, 2018 Check out Lee Valley, they have some very good sharpening and honing guides. They ship to Canada and the US, not sure about other countries. http://www.leevalley.com/us/Wood/page.aspx?p=43078&cat=1,43072 Quote
Members dirkba Posted May 15, 2018 Members Report Posted May 15, 2018 SheltataLore, Take a look at this jig - it might need some adjusting to suit your need! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Woodworking-Sculpture-Carving-Knife-Shovel-Chisel-Fix-Angle-Sharpener-Clamp-Knife-Sharpening-Guide/32581260094.html Quote
Members MakerUnknown Posted May 15, 2018 Members Report Posted May 15, 2018 Among a host of other ways I sharpen my tools, I bought into a system that a luthier, Brian Burns developed. His jig allows for extremely acute angles of sharpening. At last report, he now longer manufacturers the jig but has plans he provides to make your own out of plywood, I believe. http://www.lessonsinlutherie.com/doublebevelsharpening.html Quote
