knife sharpening

[Dylan585]

Normally i sharpen my own knives with a honing kit but i have a kukri that i cant sharpen because it curves back in... Can anyone recommend a good knive sharpener in Rochester??

[Chas0218]

Can you use a lansky kit on that style blade?

[Dylan585]

Thats what i have... The issues is that the blade curves back in on its self

Dylan, I usually prepare my fish with a fillet knife...how does that work for ya! LOL. .just busting bud! Rat Tail file and a ceramic rod or sharpening steel, then buffing compound on a bench grinder buff wheel. Just a suggestion..for you to try.

You could do it carefully by using a set of graduated stones with honing oil and finish up on ceramic.

Lol! I could probably prepare moby dick with it! But that's a good suggestion and I'm house sitting for my grandparents and have access to his grinder

That works great for the normal curved part and for normal knives but the issue with this knife is that near the handle it curves the opposite directions therefore the only parts of the stone or hone touching it are the edges... I need something round like skipper was saying

I find the most important thing to do when sharpening a knife is to maintain the correct angle on the stone or steel throughout the entire length of the blade as you swipe it across the steel.
