I have been woodworking about 5 years now and realize sharpness is very important. I don't like sharpening any more than the next person. I've found a simple solution to keep my marking knives sharp. I bought one of those simple v notch knife sharpeners (think this one was around $25) that has a coarse and then a fine on it. Since buying it, I sharpen my knife much more frequently than I did before. While I'm out there sharpening my marking knife, I will often sharpen my pocket knife as well. I am sure there are better ways to get even a finer edge but this is one that I use very frequently. Now to get one in the kitchen.
I have the exact same pair of marking knives that you do!
ReplyDeletePaul Sellers makes excellent recommendations. I tried more expensive marking knives but still prefer these.
