Sharpening the Truth: What's Happening to Knife Channels?
Published: 2 days ago
Are knife channels at risk of being banned? Today I am addressing that concern while getting back to basics at the sharpening bench.
There has been a lot of talk surrounding the future of our community, but today I am focusing on what I enjoy most: restoring the edge on some old jack knives. I am putting the Work Sharp sharpener to the test on these vintage pieces to see how it performs on different blade steels. It is a great way to keep the gear in rotation rather than letting it sit idle on a shelf.
Whether you are curious about the latest platform policies or just want to see a Jack Knife getting a fresh edge, this session is all about practical maintenance. Using a reliable tabletop sharpener makes the process straightforward, even for older pocket knives that have seen better days. It is a nice change of pace to appreciate the functionality of these tools without the pressure of a complex restoration project.
