Techniques/sharpening: Difference between revisions

This page is not finished and are just rough notes based on the [[Workshops/bladesmithing|bladesmithing]] workshop

 

*Blades can be sharpened with an included angle anywhere from 7 degrees (razor blade) to 45 degrees (axe head). Finer edges are sharper but weaker so they dull faster, wider edges are less sharp but much more robust and will last much longer before resharpening.

*Desired sharpness depends on what you're cutting, not much point going above 1000/1500 (and strop) with wood
