Recurve?

[ThornStrike]

I think recurve makes a knife look sexy and i've never seen any drawbacks on the way it cuts.

I recently bought a recurved knife and have only one concern - is there a different way you have to sharpen it?

How would you sharpen a recurved knife? I use a crock stick type set up for sharpening rather than a flat stone.

I use the lansky crock sticks turn box set. Works like a charm!

Thats probably one of the best systems for recurves.

I just use the sharpmaker like any other knife. Works fine on the triangle points, flat sides don't work too well. Turn-wheel system by lansky is just about perfect, cheap too:thumbup:.

I have all three grits of Sharpmaker rod, ironically no Sharpmaker.

Freehand all the way.

Sharpmaker, or freehand using something like Spyderco's Profile stones.

edge pro or freehand using the corner of my stones wich are chamfered. anyways it will be waaaaay slower than sharpening a straight edge.
