| Adam |  Sharpening BookSeptember 9th, 2005 01:55 AM September 8, 2005 Sharpening Book If anyone is interested in a complete text on sharpening a wide variety of tools, using a large selection of different sharpening tools/techniques, check out Taunton Press's "The Complete Guide to Sharpening". It is a currently published book that you can probably pickup off your local bookstore's craft section's shelf. It is written by Leonard Lee (Veritas tools and Lee Valley Tools), with a copyright of 1995. He brings the concept of edge shape into focus as an integral part of the sharpening process. You can produce a super keen edge, that will crumble minutes into use if the tool's use and edge geometry is not taken into account. This explains why you'll never find a hollow ground axe blade. The axe is an impact driven tool that uses a convex grind to keep the keen edge stoutly backed up with metal. The book is a great read, and an excellent continuing reference source. |
