I always feel awkward discussing other knives here, but I don't venture too far from this section to those "other" shady areas of Bladeforums. Is there anyone more skilled than me in the area of sharpening a recurve ZT-300 that wouldn't mind taking on the task for me? I used it to field dress some pheasant and apparently whacked it on something, thus denting/chipping the blade (inferior garbage.. I know). The chips then resulted in tiny rust spots on an otherwise very sharp edge. Could anyone remedy this for me?
 
A recurve blade that probably needs grinding flat on the edge until the chips are removed and then re-creating the edge so that it is uniform and in line with the original grind is probably best done on a 1 inch belt sander allowing for the knife being a small blade folder. The best guy for a wicked edge using this sort of sander is probably Horn Dog.

He takes in sharpening jobs and always has satisfied customers ....:thumbup:

He is a mod on the Scrapyard Forum and probably best found over there ....

Horn Dog. Ok thanks. He hangs around there, more than here? Thanks!
 
I use my Edge Pro Apex with a 1/2" stone to sharpen my ZTs successfully and consistently. Recurves are a cinch. Just FYI.

Blasted and tumbled it, then removed some of the recurve and convexed it.

It's fun.

Tom stopped taking in regrind work a few months ago, don't know if he has started that up again.


The Spyderco Sharpmaker is easy to use, and will work just fine on recurves.
 
like I said when I sold it to you, send back whenever you like for free sharpenings.
