Knifemaker Steigerwald and knife photographer Fronteddu explain in detail the many ways to sharpen the many kinds of knives for the many purposes knives can be set to. From a theoretical
perspective, they consider what the goal is, the meaning of sharp, and how sharp a knife can become. Then they turn to practical matters such as the basics of sharpening, sharpening with pocket
sharpeners, working with a sharpening steel, sharpening stones, water-cooled sharpeners, stropping the edge, special cases of serrated edges and convex grinds, simple aids, and testing the
sharpness. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
