i have a smiths pocket pal and i was wondering how long it would take to sharpen a gerber
This would depend on several things. How much sharpening is required to bring the knife back to a good edge.
The coarseness of the stone, the hardness of the blade,etc...
I can give a couple of hints regarding sharpening a knife that may help...
1) never draw the knife across the stone in reverse, this actually will dull the edge...
2)always use a quality stone and a bit of oil (the oil helps keep the stone clean)
3) when drawing the blade on the stone try to be consistent in the angle (this is easier if you use your forearm in the stroke instead of your wrist.
4) draw the blade away from your body as if you are going to cut a fine sliver from the stone in a forward stroke...
5 Most ceramic sharpening stones are great for getting a fine polish to the edge but it takes a lot of whetting action to get a good edge on a really dull blade. There are other stones that will speed up the process if used in succession (course to fine)...
