This is the first time I’ve ever sent a knife out for sharpening. I have stones and a work sharp and all the things. This free service got my knife wayyy sharper than I can so I’ll take it. Totally realize it’s not necessary and not for everyone. Knowing how to sharpen a knife is an art in my opinion. Some people are really good at it. Some aren’t. I’m not. With that said, I just filled out the online order deal to send my Rant in next :chuckle: |

I have a Buck 278 Alpha Hunter with gut hook and rubber grip for 29 years... I use to be able to get it shave your arm sharp with a stone... I seem to have lost my touch so I got a Work Sharp belt sharpener last year... WOW! Scared to shave my arm with it now... There's a couple models of Buck made in China now... |

I sharpen most of my knives myself using a Lansky system and I can put a better-than-new edge on most knives. The exception being flexible blades and highly acute angles (less than 17 degrees); these are beyond my skill set. I have a 3DK Fillet knife that’s about 6-7 years old and has yet to be resharpened other than stropping. This thread has encouraged me to find out how their “free sharpening for life” works and get that done. Or maybe find a local sharpening service. |

When I was married the wife worked at JoAnnes fabric... Once a month a guy that sharpened scissors, shears, ect came in last Sunday of the month... I'd send her with every knife outta the house, shop, hunting, and fishing stuff, even garden shears... Through out the year... :chuckle: Guy was awesome... Specially on the fillet knifes... Did all her stuff for free... He'd always wait till last to do mine cause they were at all different angles... I think my buck knife is 21 degrees... Fillet knifes varied 11-19... He could even do the seraded and make it like factory sharp on my daily carry... Was a nice perk... Now she works at Home Depot and I get no benefits from it... Not even an ex husband discount... :dunno: |
