Inhaltsangabe:

A complete guide to knife making, sharpening, and tool maintenance for woodcarvers.

Woodcarvers understand the feeling of satisfaction, ease, and higher quality of carving that comes from using a well sharpened, honed, and polished tool. (A sharp tool is safer to use than a dull one, after all.) In a process handed down from his grandfather, Jim Watson teaches sharpening techniques for numerous knives and other woodcarving tools in various sizes and profiles.

The book includes:

- Methods for reconditioning and making knives and tools for woodworking
- Information on resurfacing sharpening stones
- Tips on proper sharpening (kitchen knives and pocket knives included), plus the materials needed for the job

By following Jim's instructions and adding a little practice and patience, everyone will be able to achieve and maintain a superior edge, as keen as the piece of steel will allow.
