Knife Sharpening Instructions
Knife Sharpening Instructions
To properly sharpen your Colonial Knife, do not use a grinding wheel. Instead, follow these steps:
- Use a Bench Sander equipped with a 120-grit belt
- Make a few light passes of the cutting edge along the sanding belt-this will restore a razor-sharp edge
-
Sharpening takes a little finesse. The key is finding and maintaining the correct angle.
Finding the Right Sharpening Angle
approximately a 23 degree angle
*Place a coin flat on the sanding belt*Rest the blade against the coin, with the cutting edge touching the belt*This setup gives you the proper sharpening angle
