A knife is only as good as the edge it holds. After all, a sharp edge is a safe edge, as it is much less likely to slip and will require far less force to slice through whatever it is you're cutting. Not all knives are the same, however. Some need a steeper cutting angle while others utilize a narrow blade edge to ensure the finest slices possible.
There are also different methods of sharpening that will yield different results and of course there are different sharpening tools available that will lead to a quick edge or others which will result in the smoothest polished edge possible.
Knowing all of these differences will make sharpening your blades a much easier prospect, making it possible to have some of the most reliable tools available.
Learn these excellent secrets and improve your blades on the next page.

Then the blade will chip.. I’d rather have a semi-dull blade

That’s a kukri , not a knife 🙂

…and the steel it’s made of. Different steels and angles for different jobs.
So what the article tells you is that the angle is the most important thing when sharpening a knife then proceeds to explain it is a very difficult thing to do by eye, which it is. So then it tries to sell you a 300-600 dollar sharpener. No doubt it’s a good sharpener, but I will stick to eyeball’in it.
Kukri is a blade style. That would be like saying a mustang isn’t a car just because it has a specific name.
I have a glock model 81
Anyone have experience sharpening that knife or sharpening spring steel?

Sharpening a knife isn’t that difficult. Do you want a surgical scalpel?

Calvin just passed his Trail Life test for knife safety and proper sharpening techniques.
You never sharpen towards yourself!
Joe Howell mine needs sharpened!!!
If you see a knife on my person you can bet it has a surgical edge. I do everything by feel more than eye. I use a file to shape and repair the blade then i start with a dry stone move to a wet med grit then diamond grit then i use a leather belt.
Yes Mam.

Love the kukri blade design.
My dad would put an edge on a knife, so sharp it would cut your pant leg whipin’ it backwards.
Sharper the blade, the faster the edge dulls and the more brittle it is
Secret…..not really…mostly forgotten definitely “modern” society has created a population incapable of fending for themselves

Razor sharp is for razors. Axe sharp is for axes.
Different edges for different uses.
