Posted: 10:01 - 24 May 2020 Post subject: Sharpening a serrated bladed knive |
|
|
What's the best way of sharpening serrated bladed knives.
I have a lot of different knives but one of my favourite is a serrated bladed knife I use for cutting sh1t from around the prop amongst other things. This one
https://alloutdoor.2dimg.com/4/1327586775_07.jpg
The serrations are worn and I've tried sharpening with a chainsaw file as suggested with google but I've probably made it worse. I have oil stones and will quite happily sharpen a straight blade with them and I also have a kitchen knife sharpener which says it sharpens serrated blade, does it bollox.
Otherwise it's a knife sharpener to do it for me however the problem there with it being a lock knife it's illegal and I don't know how fussy they are. I really can't be bothered with plod coming round, he'd have a field day with some of the things in my house.
At £30 I could just buy another but there is nothing else wrong with it and it's an favourite so it seems a waste to junk it.
Anyone have any ideas on how to go about it? ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

A tapered diamond rod will work as will a fine small round file. You can also wrap finer grades of emery round that to achieve a proper finish.
I have a CRKT knife with a serrated section on the blade and I use a small round file with increasingly fine grades of emery paper and a drop of water. It can't be stropped easily but if you want that final level of sharpness then some cloth or thin leather with Autosol will do that for you. |

I'll persevere with the file and emery cloth then. It's probably just practice and it's not the end of the world if I fcuk it up. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I bought a set of these for sharpening steak knives with my dremel
I would recommend practising on a suitable piece of metal because it will make serations where you put it and not necessarily where thebserations are supposed to be.

Oh, a Spyderco knife. I bought The Boy a Squeak for his birthday a few years ago. It's OK, the thing that stops it folding on your fingers is a finger |

For "sandpaper" or "emery cloth" read "wet'n'dry" mush betterer. |
