Sorry about the quality

It has an Inox German blade. I have no idea of date or where it is from.

My pleasure mate.
It does work quite well considering the age and condition it was in when I found it.
TLC goes a long way.

It appears to be a Bartlet knife. That's a style not a brand. I suspect the half moon cut out was intended to strip wire or cut line. Rope to you landlubbers. And please tell me you didn't sharpen it with a bench grinder.

Doc.

And please tell me you didn't sharpen it with a bench grinder.

Well, it does look like it could use a little profiling with Dremel and an alumina cone.

Barbarian. Only a whet stone should be used on a knife. I prefer india stones made by Norton; then a few quick strops on a hard arkansas.

Diamonds, Doc. Diamonds followed up by a few strokes on a Crock stick and then a steel.

New isn't always better my friend. I'm as obsessed with sharpening as you are cigars. Diamond stones are nice and have the advantage of staying flat, but are expensive. I've spent countless hours learning how to sharpen everything from plane irons, chisels and hand saws to knives and tomahawks. And by the way, a steel doesn't sharpen; it only realigns the edge. So it seems to me that it would be a wasted step in the process.

Doc,

I hear you. I don't have countless hours to devote to the craft but I can certainly appreciate the skill that can result. You're right about the steel's function. In the kitchen, which is where I do much of my cutting, the stainless steel blades readily go out of alignment and the steel is very effective in restoring a cutting edge until the next opportunity to run it through the motorized Chef's Choice rotary sharpener. Raise a burr and all that.

I've tried the stones, even Japanese waterstones, Arkansas, the whole spread. Even the Spyderco units and they're just too much work for the knives I use and the way I use them.

The act and process of sharpening can be a meditation in and of itself. For me though, it is strictly a matter of practical efficiency.

Building flashlights...now there's my meditation.

Cheers,
Wilkey

No Sir
I have a some small oil stones of different shapes (Round and Flat Square)
At some stage in it's life somebody has butchered it. I have owned it for ten years and am slowly bringing it back to its former glory.

If you would like some light refinishing work on it let me know. I used to make knives for a living and still make quit a few as a hobby.

Very kind offer Sir
I would love to send it to a pro but Aussie Customs might seize it on return.
