Knife sharpening CT

[TheFogg]

Would be interested in someone up in GP that does this as well.

In a previous thread someone had mentioned that he'd had his knife sharpened by Neels van den Berg, Bladesmith & Custom Knifemaker from Black Dragon Forge in Pretoria.

I emailed him over the weekend to check if he still does sharpening and he confirmed that he does. His price is R50 per blade for general sharpening.

I'm just not sure which part of Pretoria he is in, but I'll ask him to sharpen a blade for me this week and can confirm the area then.

His contact details are on his website: www.blackdragonforge.co.za

Get yourself one of these....... https://www.wickededgeusa.com/

My blades are razor sharp. Very easy to use, puts a mirror finish on the edge

Am I being silly avoiding the electronic belt sharpeners?

Get yourself a Tormek T-7 for Christmas!

Do it!

Personally for home use I would get a lansky or Gatco. All my knives are sharpened with a Gatco and they are razor sharp. Without stepping on toes(hopefully). I am making knives now and I find that these sharpeners give me great control and consistency. It takes longer but there is no way I can overheat the edge and damage it. My 2c

Thanks Darren, always good to hear from people that actually do it

Don't get a sharpener. Then you will always have an excuse to get new blades when the "old" ones get blunt? ;)
