I didnt know whether to post this in the knifemaker's forum or here, so sorry if i was supposed to post in the Knifemakers forum!!
I have a lot of knives that dont have very sharp spines. and id like to know how to sharpen them... I always find it way too hard to use my ferro rod with the back of the spine of my knives when i need to. My Koster Bushcrafter seems to be sharpened on the left edge.. so if i wanted to use the spine to spark the ferro rod, i would need to do it with the knife in my left hand and the rod in my right. well that is just awkward to me, and id like to be able to sharpen the spine on both sides.
I dont know if blade steel makes a difference, but my Koster is 3v, Izula is 1095, and most others are 01 tool steel.
Does anyone know how to go about squaring up a spine or sharpening the spine of a knife?
Thanks!
