I’m still here

 Hi folks 

Just a quick note to say that I’m still around and sharpening almost daily despite the shit storm. 

Regarding the photo above. I’m often asked how long it takes me to sharpen a knife. I always say “about 15 min”. I think this is normal for most sharpeners who have been at it for awhile. Naturally this is not a fixed time and especially nota time to shoot for. It’s not that important really, it’s not a race and the process should be enjoyed  

I timed myself in this one and was surprised by the timing. I used a belt sander for the repair which was about 2 minutes and the thinning after that was about 5 min. It was an easy job though. I’ve spent 90 minutes on a knife before. Several times in fact so as I said, it’s not a race. This doesn’t indicate any level of skill it’s just that I do these repairs a lot. 

I’m just saying hi. I’ll try to create new content and thank you for sticking around.
