bikermutt07 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 I just bevel a piece of scrap. Rub rouge into the edge and bevel backwards. It's the perfect size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is always someone who has to take a great tip and point out that the obvious solution was right in front of us the whole time! Lol. Seriously, cant believe I never thought of that!

noobleather Report post Posted November 8, 2018 Thanks for the video. I have been shown how to sharpen a beveler on the edge of piece of leather with jewellers rouge. But I have a smaller beveler where it doesn't seem to work so I will try this when I get home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bermudahwin Report post Posted November 8, 2018 Jewellers rouge on the edge of leather; I can see how this works and wish I'd thought of it years ago, thanks for the tip bikermutt. Jewellers rouge on threads of varying thicknesses; over time this may mishapen the cutting edge into a curve. And restoring a flat edge to a curved blade area is a nightmare.

Mrvista Report post Posted December 12, 2018 If you want a really sharp beveller? I use a piece of wire the right thickness for my beveller, and overlay it with a piece of Micro mesh abrasive cloth, then press down on the mesh over the wire, and stroke backwards, believe me, you will have a razor sharp beveller! If your beveller is very blunt, you can start with a course piece of micro mesh cloth, and then work through the different grades, even down to 12000 grade micro mesh. I bought a pack of these, and 2 years later they are still going strong. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Mesh-Regular-Sheets-Abrasive-Polishing-x/dp/B003RTABUK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1544617687&sr=8-2&keywords=micro-mesh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what we do here as well. We take and lock the strips in a board so they stand on their edge and don't move. Plus easy storage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, sounds great as I said earlier, but "bevel backwards" does this just polish and sharpen the flat side? does it creat any burr on the inside? In the picture I have always stropped the blue arow side, but have never tried to strop/sharpen the red side. Some of the recent replies have left me wondering if there is a better way, that I have been missing. Cheers H Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clc Report post Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I do the same as hwinbermuda, but I also use the string with rouge to remove the burr from the inside. Just pull through the top after finishing stropping the bottom. Edited December 12, 2018 by clc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
