I do agree that sharpening on hollow grinders without the aid of water heeds caution! Hand-sharpeing with water stones usually produces a finer/longer-lasting edge, but is more expensive. I think that's why most of today's sharpeners use aluminum oxide or silicone carbide belts to sharpen without removing large amounts of metal, then stropping the edge for a really sharp edge! It's quicker, more accurate & doesn't cost too much. <br />In closing I'd like to point-out that - most people can't hold an angle like Mike!<br />Go get 'um, MIKE!<br />Howell's Hand-Sharpening & Engraving in North TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333966257665657680.post-32953030578156058242009-08-25T06:51:48.150-07:002009-08-25T06:51:48.150-07:00I remember this guy driving through Canarsie, and ...I remember this guy driving through Canarsie, and me telling my mom he was on our street, and us figuring what needed sharpening, and running out with a pair of dull scissors to catch him before he got too far away.

You should have anything of value sharpened by a pro using the wet wheel method. The wheel rotates at low speed while in a water bath, so the steel won't overheat and draw its temper. Most of the time your blade only needs honing - not grinding, which you can do yourself with a good quality whetstone. Avoid any of those knife sharpening "gizmos."<BR/><BR/>A reliable sharpening service & cutlery store, (since 1874), is Henry Westpfal & Co.,<BR/>115 W. 25th St., (9:30-6, M-F) 212-563-5990Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333966257665657680.post-70547826705582399602008-08-04T11:22:00.000-07:002008-08-04T11:22:00.000-07:00I am a seventy four year old New Yorker although I...I am a seventy four year old New Yorker although I've not lived in The City for more than forty years. I do remember there were still ice deliveries (with big tongs), a few fruit and vegetable, and old clothes carts that sometimes came by our aprtment house just off Riverside Drive and 108th Street, but not until you reminded me tdoay, did I recall an occaisonal knife and scissor sharpening cart!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
