Geometry and Kinematics of Guided-Rod Sharpeners

[SteelJunkee]

Hi Everyone,
....
Therefore this report is only interesting to:
1. Knife sharpening fanatics who like V-edges.
2. Engineers who like to study mechanisms.
3. Those of us who are insane.

This is still a beta version draft, so feedback is welcome.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or constructive criticism, just post to the discussion.

Sincerely,
--Anthony "Lagrangian" Yan

I know this is an older thread that has been revived (and I see nothing wrong with that). Great detailed analysis that really goes deep into the geometry of guided knife sharpeners. Thanks!

It seems time to bump this thread.
