I have a Victorinox Gardener at home I was the comfortable grip sheepsfoot would make a fine first whittler for my 7, almost 8 y/o son. It is however a chisel ground knife. I am not very advanced yet in my sharpening...but I am working on it.
Is there any reason on a small thin blade like this that I can not simply sharpen the knife on the other side? Currently, I have both a two sided stone (I think 150/280) and a two sided diamond plate (600/1800) as my only sharpening tools.
Thanks alkot! This is my first post by the way. Good to be here as it's a very useful site. I just read alot about stropping after dulling my new boker whittler after my first attempt...but that's a different isssue.
