[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 1029744, member: 8833"] The answer is "yes". However with any knife - you must get the blade to have some relief first before putting on the final edge. By this I mean the thick part needs to be thinned so that you can get it thin enough to add a razor sharp edge. The old timers always went at their blades with a course stone (It is still the finest way to get a truely sharp knife). First thing was to get the blade some relief - then they put a final edge on it. You can do just that with this but I will say that your first couple of goes at it it will improve with practice. Should this not make any sense - feel free to PM me and I will write out the long version. I have one of the sharpeners we are discussing. It is OK but it will not compare to the results using a hand stone unless you fully understand what it takes to be able to shave with something as thick as an axe after you have sharpened it.
