Subj: Re: [DR-L] knife sharpening
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 08:28:58 -0500

I have a Rigotti double hallow knife. I believe it's a soft one. I dont have that sharpenning guide thats being sold at Forrest which I know for sure is a great item to buy nor do I have a book about sharpenning your knife. I just have Jay Light's book and it explains how one should sharpen a knife briefly. Yet, I get a real sharp edge everytime I sharpen my knife. And trust me when i tell you that i get a really thin tip. You just have to thin the tip while its a bit dry. I found thinning a wet tip is somehow troublsome as it tends to break and crack.

My only problem is that i have to resharpen my knife so many times. but thats only because the blade is soft. Time to buy a medium one!!!!!I'm thinking about buying the Landwell knife.
