Default Knives, getting them sharp like a razor blade

Well, I will cop to using a machine to sharpen my wood lathe shaping
tools. Then again, those are set up on a jig to get the angles right.
The cutoff tools I sharpen by hand. I also use a machine to sharpen
my chain saw blades - that task is just annoying as hell and it's
faster to use a machine.

Sharpening a knife via machine just ain't right. :)


When I used to use my chainsaw a lot, I used my Dremel with the correct
stone and could hand sharpen the blade quickly at home. Had a 12V tool with
jig for the field, but after a while, eyeball it and forget the jig.
