Not super super precise, however, I like the corona carbide sharpener you can get from most Lowe’s and Depots.

Sharpening knives and scissors

A friend who has been sharpening tools for a very long time; to near obsession (which is a very good quality), offered to give me a lesson and some pointers on the art of sharpening knives and scis…

Fascinating. I like to see people do something well and correctly.

I use a chefs sharpening steel on knives. I had someone teach me years ago how to use it and happened to find a professional one at an estate sale for next to nothing. It works beautifully on knives but I've never tried it on scissors. It takes less than 2 minutes to sharpen a knife in the kitchen but I wouldn't know quite how to use it on scissors or tools. It probably wouldn't be hard to do scissors but I'm really just very comfortable with the knives and wouldn't want to figure out scissors. I probably wouldn't have taught myself but the woman who taught me was a chef and she made it very easy.

I was going to buy a felco sharpening tool for blades but haven't done so yet. They're sold on Amazon.

My father had a set similar to this when I was young, though I can't tell you what brand name or where he got it.

This is what I generally use now days. Old fashioned, but effective.

…. Similarly, but some old and some new school, diamond, ceramic, Arkansas natural, etc, etc, etc here’s a few.

Note I too use the King KW65 water stone. Pretty good for 30.00 at Amazon.



Happy Thanksgiving!

I use a series of whetstones (120, 240, 400, 800, 1000, 6000, and 12000 grit) to sharpen my scissors and kiridashi, which seem to be the tools that need sharpening most frequently. I don’t typically start with the coarsest stone in the series as that removes more material than is truly necessary. I don’t have a good sharpening solution for concave cutters, but I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I haven’t really needed to sharpen them yet.

Has anyone used the tools from American Bonsai? Was considered buying them

The kaneshein k-40 is great for most day-to-day maintenance.

The only thing I need want any sharper than this stone can do is my grafting knife, which I bring to a local expert every now and then (but I use it more than most people do)
