Review on High-quality Silicon Sharpening Leather: Uncompromising Premium Quality by Daniel Elgee

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sharpening Done Boring

Tried several different methods - this is by far the best. 1x30 Belt Sander from Harbor Freight $38. This kit (specifically the 800 grit belt), leather belt and angled guide for $8. No guesses. Was SATISFIED with the results. Bought a $200 sharpness tester and am happy to report results in the 50-80 range. Razor blades score 30-100 points, normal kitchen knives around 300. This solution is so flexible that I can sharpen almost anything. No guesses. 2-3 passes each side with 800 grit, then 4-6 passes on a leather strap. Boom 50-80 range points. Cornering is a secret. 90 seconds per blade for great results. I've also repaired my friends' blades to remove burrs in seconds.

Pros
  • Hand & Power Tools
Cons
  • Very Expensive
