Sharpening Slick Tricks

[PSD Ryan]

How many times can you resharpen them?

I've sharpened a few at least 10 times

Here is what I use. Hit each blade 5 or 6 strokes with a carbide sharpener like mentioned above. Then use a leather strop with yellow stone stropping compound. Pull each side of the blade down the strop about 10 times and you will have a polished razor sharp edge. The carbide sharpener will take the nicks and dings off and put a pretty good edge on the blade. The leather strop and stropping compound will put a super sharp, super fine edge on the blade. You need a small clamp to hold the blade. You can get a clamp at Home Depot. I have posted this technique and pictures on TBH in the past.

Thanks fellas. I appreciate the input. I have a worksharp, but it doesn't seem to be very friendly with smaller things like slicktrick blades

Good luck. I tried sharpening slicks with a lansky system. And could not get the wire edge off. Ran through wood but then I had too resharpen them then wire edge again.

What kind of strop is best used here?

[PSD Ryan]

Cardboard back of a legal pad or the smooth side of a strip of leather

That's making use of some household goods right there!
