  • When you are remaking the tip, is the blade tilted at at angle or perpendicular?

  • @MrBobsagget420 The spine is perpendicular. Tilting the blade off-axis when re-shaping the tip would create a weird asymmetrical swedge.

  • @PCRedman: when using the edges of the triangular rods, slow down as you get to the tip of the blade and don't roll the tip off the edge. I mostly just use the flats anyway.

  • Can my Zero tolerance 0200 work on this sharpener its got a fatty re-curve blade on it

  • @Darkstar2520  Yes. In fact, the Sharpmaker is one of the best things to sharpen a deep recurve on, using the corners of the rods. I've sharpened my old ZT301 on it.
