Sharpening a War Boar?

[JohnTheTexican]

Lately I've been putting my War Boar to its proper use as an agricultural implement, and I'm afraid it's starting to get a little dull. I have lots of lovely Shapton waterstones that are great for everything from kitchen knives to axes, but useless for a karambit inside the curve. What's the best way to sharpen these?


BTW, the War Boar is the only tool I found that was really effective in clearing out a large patch of ivy that had overgrown pretty much everything. Hedge clippers (both traditional and electric) did not work well, nor did an FBM or even a Sawzall. The War Boar didn't work well on the really thick vines, but it tore through the thinner ones and the roots like nobody's business.

Maybe use some of those Spyderco ceramic rods?

You could always just use the corner of your waterstones….

We always recommend that you send the blade to us and we will make sure you are taken care of :thumbup: Normal turn around time for a resharpening is 1-2 weeks and we only charge for return shipping.

Let us know if you need anything else!

If you want to do it yourself, a pair of crock sticks or a round diamond hone such as the Eze lap Model M. I have three K-bits (alas NONE is a War Boar)and that is what I use.

A butcher's honing steel will do the trick. They work well on any recurve blade.
