I have recently procured a set of Dans Arkansas stones after over 25 years of dreaming of owning a set of my own. As you can see I asked for signatures being a fanboy .
I'm finding myself increasing enamored with the history of sharpening and remembered my uncles having a large grindwheel "3' Diameter or larger" that was pedal powered to sharpen anything they needed sharpened, knives, machete, axes, etc . I also remember seeing the same tool in old movies that blacksmiths utilized.
Has anyone ever heard of sharpening a Razor on a wheel? I'm assuming it would thin out the blade near the tip... I was wondering if how I could mimick that to see how it works.
Has anyone got any input or experience doing this?
Kindest Regards,
