Hi Guys.

This is my first post on this forum, but I have been looking for awhile now trying to get my head around this thing called knife making, maintenance and sharpening.

I was going to post in a few of the threads but thought my questions could be taken by the original poster s as hijacking their threads, which is not a good look for a newbie on any forum regardless of their enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge.

My first question, and I have no doubt that their will be many more, is that I have seen many references to the paper wheel sharpening method. Keeping in mind that I live in Australia, the translation might be a bit different here. Maybe, we have that system here and am familar with it under a different name.

Any enlightening would be truly appreciated?

THANKS

Pete
 
im pretty sure its the same thing there. I mean a paper wheel is exactly that, a paper wheel with grit on one and the other has white rouge compound on it. Nothing speical about it or diffferent. Its one of those things which is exactly what it is called, its actually a paper wheel, thats why its called a paper wheel :)
 
Hi Pete,

I'm new here too. Though I've been reading here for years. Go to this site;

http://sharpeningmadeeasy.com/

This guy goes into great depth on all sharpening systems to included paper wheel sharpenings. I think you'll learn all you need to from there.

Welcome!

Thanks to both ECCVETS & EMERALDS.

Thanks guys.

I would just like to say to eccvets that what is common in the USA is not necessarily common in Oz.

I have been to the States twice. One of my daughters has lived in Nebraska for eight years. I am a Cornhusker fan. I was in Omaha at Christmas when they won the back to back National titles. Don"t know they have really done too much since then though.

I have another daughter who works for an International Airline, you know, the one that has a kangaroo on the tail.

She is in the States at least six times a year and she is my knife and tool mule, I have an interest in woodworking and we have an arrangement with the Stanton, L.A. Woodcraft Store to deliver gear to her Hotel for me.

So, being on this U.S.site makes what you guys are talking about realistical for me to obtain. Plus, I think you guys are more passionate about sharpness than many here in Oz.

Thanks again.

PETE
