yep got the flies, was planning on posting tomorrow to all swappers Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Garry V. Wiles To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 6:37 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Knife sharpening
Jim & Gang, I'll admit - I cheat - I use a Lansky ( http://www.lansky.com/products/systems.html ) System to sharpen my blades. I don't have to worry about angle - system clamps onto the blade and then you put the guide in the angle you wish. The basic set of hones (stones) will get you a sharp enough edge to take hair off of your arm. Garry PS - Did you get my Steelhead Swap fly's yet? What's the progress on the swap?

Personally I suck at using a wet stone, I have a hard time holding the knife at the correct angle. I need to do some serious work to my buck fixed blade knife, it has a couple small nicks in it. Anyone using a particular sharpening system that you swear by? Any help is much appreciated. And this is very much fly fishing related as on that occasion when you do keep a fish you need a sharp knife to take care of things. Thanks Jim
