does anyone know any good stones to sharpen these kinds of knives? it needs to be thin since a regular bench stone doesnt work
the cheap lineman knives i would throw out but the pocket knife is too expensive to throw out its around 20 - 25 dollarsThey do make round India stones, but my linemen friends tell me they just throw them out and get a new one. They're just a couple dollars.
The arc tube inside an HID lamp words pretty decent to touch one up.
I have a couple of Klein 48036 sharpeners. I’ve used this type for years on all kinds of blades. They make a decent enough edge, at least for stripping wire and sheath.does anyone know any good stones to sharpen these kinds of knives? it needs to be thin since a regular bench stone doesnt work
Yeah, I almost bet I could get a half-decent edge with the same half-round file I use to debur the bigger conduit.A nice Mill-Smooth file is also useful for dressing blades on work knives.
I wish this would work on my intellect and wardrobe as well! :laughing:It will only take few seconds to go from dull to dangerously sharp !
Do you mean "wood awl "? Those I will use a file on. Wood owls I just let go.Has anyone figured how to sharpen a wood owl bit yet ?. Ive looked at tool grinders on e bay, or are they throw aways.
heres the thing...i hate utility knives so thats why i use a hawkbill pocket knife. much more sturdyI use a basic utility knife (sheet rocker type.. fixed blade) with a very dull blade.
It skins romex and works great on THHN.. those other knives you speak of look more for cutting tree branches
You mean high pressure sodium. The 1000 watt ones are the best.Find an old burned out Metal Halide and then proceed to smash it! Grab the inner ceramic cylinder and there you go it is round so should work well. I guess it to be between 1500 to 2000 grit, when it gets dirty use Comet to clean it.
