Ever had a knife you just can't Sharpen?

[rcmodel]

I made this roller jig for sharpening Bear broadhead arrows years ago.
And it worked so good I was afraid of my arrows after I sharpened them!

They would shave the hair off a frog, and he wouldn't even jump out of the barber chair, or ask for a hot towel first!

The wheels are too big for knife blade angles.
And the clamp angle that butted against the broad head ferrel doesn't have a reference point on a knife blade spine.

But the idea is sound.
And a caveman could sharpen a knife to scary sharp if it was refined a little for use with knives.






I keep telling myself, Self, make new wheels for proper knife edge angle, and change the clamp for knife blades.

But, Nooooooo!

Are you putting some kind of edge on it with the grinder now? Because I used to try and use my Sharpmaker and it's not very good at knives with no edge at all - it can't remove a lot of material. I gave up and just used the grinder for the final edge, but now I know the bevel angles were all over the place. If I did it over again I'd put an edge on with the grinder, as little as possible, and then use a guided system on it like the Wicked Edge, Edge Pro or one of the others.

Yes, I'm putting a sharp bevel, but it's still not getting where I want it.

My plan was to start it on the belt sander at 400 and finish on a sharp maker.

Once I get the money for one anyways.
