Tom Leemans:
I'm with Pappy on file sharpening. You actually can build up a wire edge with a file, but if you flip it over and use just the weight of the file to wipe the wire edge (burr) off the other side, it'll kill deer dead. I've removed the fine burr with the rough side of a leater belt too. Have to keep your angle true and consistent and use lighter and fewer strokes as you go with a file. Hee hee huntin' season must be coming if we're talkin' about sharpening stuff.

JustinNC:
for what it's worth. I just made a knife out of a circular sw blade (and a couple heads prior to). That stuff seems to sharpen really easy, but seems to be verrrry brittle when sharpened razor sharp. Also seems to dull quick. I will go through the tempering process on the next one and compare to see how it comes out.
