actually, sharpening knives is an art. I've seen guys ruin knives because they think "madali lang yan". ayun, mas lalong mapurul yung blades after they sharpened it LOL

First, get a good stone. Not the china made ones. you can get a nice one made in Brazil at the hardware stores. ok na yun..

Stones have a course and fine side. Start with course and finish with fine..

the secret is determining the angle to hold the blade to the stones. The kind of blade and the purpose you will be using it for will determine this. In general, hold the blade at an angle toward the stone and stroke away from you, NEVER back and forth. one direction only. It's like your slicing the stone. Keep an even stroke and make sure you don't change angle as you stroke.

You can use water on the stone but never use oil. It will not maike your sharpening faster and just makes it messier. water is just to wash away the dust, it's not a lubricant. In fact, I avoid water as long as I can just to maximize the friction with the stone.

blades like bolos and axes can be sharpened with a shallower angle to the stone, like more than 45 degree to the stone. thin blades like filleting knives and camping knives should be sharpened at less than 45 degrees. again, learn this through practice and feel.

Never bring a blade to hortaleza. They are truly incompetent at sharpening and they'll just grind your blade down to a stub. believe me, i know..

determine sharpness with the old hair shaving trick. if it can shave the hair on our knuckles, then it's sharp. I have a set of bolos here at home that do just that :D

madami pang techniques in sharpening knives and blades.

Hope that helps..

Spyderco and some other companies have a special set of sharpening rods for use on serrated knife edges. If you can't find them at Hahn, try S.O.E. (Survival and Outdoor Equipment), a great shop at the basement of Makati Cinema Square. You can inquire with them over the phone -- (02) 848-1436.

I also have a Spyderco, but it's only 50% serrated. The thing I do is just use the plain edge as much as possible, and leave the serrated edge unused. Syempre, mas madali i-sharpen yung plain edge.

AFAIK, sa gilid ng mga palengke meron usually naghahasa ng kutsilyo, pero gaya ng sinabi ni bud wiser nung 2004, pwede naman ito pag-aralan.

There are a lot of free knife sharpening videos and tutorials on the web. I also sharpen my bolos and other knives by myself, and it's not difficult to get a good cutting edge once you get the hang of it.

bubog magnet kasi tong mga kamay ko. i tried it for about 5 minutes, then spent the next half hour trying to get metal filings out of my finger B)

you need a good oilstone,various grade of sanding cloth and a polishing powder. be aware of the angle in which you hagod your blade. as different angles account for diffeent finishes. a high angle is good for a nice sharp edge but not good at keeping it,while a lesser angle will not be as sharp but will hold the edge longer. after that,use a sanding cloth/paper until you get the desired polish,then finish off the fine swirls with polishing powder...dont forget to put wd40 after to keep the blade from rusting. rubbing compound will also do(the one sold in watch repai shop supplies/jewelry supplies). nothing says more about you commitment to your craft than a well polished and maintained blade

i sharpen my surgical instrument using arkansas stone which i bought from the company that sells the surgical sets.

stroke it on the same angle as the tips of the blades hold the stone on left hand, the instrument on your right and direct the stroke one way only and away from the stone.

use curved stone for curved cutting tips, flat for flats
