Subj: Re: [DR-L] Sharpening a Landwell
Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2006 00:08:25 -0400
Shawn, Herb,
Thanks, fellows. I think I get the idea. I actually have Miller's
sharpening sticks (burnishers), so this may be my first use for them.
Does anyone know which is harder, the ceramic (white) crock sticks or
the alundum (brown) crock sticks? I've never used the alundum sticks,
but if they're harder than the ceramic sticks, this might be the time to
try them out too.
