Nice knives lonecoyote, you are an artisan. (And others too) What kind of ceramic sticks do you use & what angle degree? I have some no name ceramic sticks and Spiderco as well. Also use wet stones and my Lansky sharpening system. The angle of your edge depends on the use of the knife. I mostly keep a kitchen edge @ 15 degrees and for general purpose use of a knife I keep the edge @ 25 degrees. I highly recommend the Lansky system if your not use to using full sized wet stones. Watch this video pertaining to the Lansky system |

Great video. I'm tempted to pick one up now. It's hard to break myself of my stone though, it's how I've sharpened my knives for 20 years.

That have been stored in Rubbermaid containers for a few years. Cleaned, buffed, polished and sharpened 10 today. Took a few hours to be done properly. Below is a picture of two Damascus knives I made a number of years ago. They were stored well, no rustđź‘Ť They needed some tender loving care which included.....cleaning, buffing, polishing and sharpened using my Lansky System and ceramic sticks. Both were used in kitchen prep and those times I enjoyed camping. Thought id share a picture for you knife enthusiasts.........  BEAUTIFUL! They look well made. Love me some damascus! ExChef |

I can't look at 1 without wanting to own it. I love those Damascus I have a grandson who's only passion is collecting knives lol |

Another part of the hobby of knife making for me was customizing folders with different wood scales. More for dress attire, no pocket clips. All wood hand cut with a coping saw, a Fiskar hand drill, a lot of hand sanding and most finishes were left natural. I used White Diamond and pure Carnauba wax with my Dremel and the optional extension attachment. MANY different buffing wheels!!! Some wood scales I finished with Tung Oil or Danish Oil. |

peeps.............it’s a piece of Zebrawood that I cross cut. Also made a hatchet and hammer handle years ago out of the same wood. Simply a gorgeous grain. Some grains on Zebrawood you’ll find thin and fairly close together making up fine stripes. Those handle scales I finished with Danish Oil. High quality Zebrawood is a bit pricy on the market today, depending on thickness. Therefore if used in the making of furniture now a days, it’s usually a veneer.

A couple months ago I ran across a knife kit I bought back in about 1983. I believe the handle material was oak, but I have some briar I bought from Tinsky about 20 years ago that I’m using instead. Drilled and epoxied for a hidden tang, by using hand tools only it’s a bugger of a job. I’ll post when it’s done. Patience is my foe right now. |
