Sharpening a Sandrin Tungsten Carbide Blade Media

Is it possible to home sharpen Tungsten Carbide? You bet. Much harder than steel, many EDC users may never need to resharpen a Sandrin Polyhedral Tungsten Carbide blade but this condensed video courtesy of sharpening wizard Ben Spaloss @makethepre shows his process on how to restore a razor-sharp edge. Follow Ben on YouTube Stones&Strops or @marktpre on Instagram to see more on his channel. Thanks for sharing Ben!

Here is a list of equipment Ben uses:
Zhuk Fixed Angle Knife Sharpener (other sharpening systems can also be used)

Experienced folks at sharpening like Ben are able to sharpen Tungsten Carbide without a fixed angle sharpener but that will be difficult for average folks.

Note: This sharpening method does not necessarily apply for steel knife sharpening.
