Tips, Suggestions, Videos on sharpening a blade like this.

Ive been avoiding knives like Reate Knives Rick Barett Fallout 2.0. But if I knew there was a online place that gave good instructions on how to sharpen these kinds of unusual shapes might consider one.

I have the tools and am pretty decent at doing straight forward blades. But want to see how to videos on these kinds of unusual blades on how they sharpen them with the strange angles.

What do you normally sharpen on? If you use bench stones, you can use the edge of the stone to sharpen the recurve portion, then sharpen the tip portion like any other knife. Treat it as two separate edges. Use the technique in the video below, but stop when you reach the end of the recurve, then move on to the tip section.

I guess that same theory would work for my Lanksy system.

You just keep your motion perpendicular to the blade, like you do with the tip of your knife. Just do the opposite for that convex portion of the blade.
