That's good to know.

I use a butchers steel for knife sharpening. It's what I had on hand and it worked so I never looked into buying anything else. You have to make sure it's smooth and the butcher steel is cheap. Found mine years ago at a yard sale for a buck.

You post useful things, Eric.  Hadn’t seen that whole process before...good to know.

Do you use the steel just as a burnisher or do you do the whole sharpening process with the steel?

I sharpen mine just like Patrick. Though that may be because he taught me how to sharpen them. And with how much black locust I work, I have to sharpen frequently. Once tempered, that stuff eats the edge off a blade. Much worse than almost every other wood I’ve messed with. I’ll generally have to resharpen after each bow.

Just as the burnisher bud.
