FAQ

We get a lot of questions about sharpening. Woodworkers have strong, but conflicting, opinions about the right way to sharpen. We’ve taught many beginners to get a razor edge in minutes, using a simple method that gives reliable results.

Our Sharpening Instructions PDF, in English and in French, offers a detailed guide that will help you learn this method. The Basic Sharpening Set (below) will provide you with the necessary tools.

Deneb Puchalski's Angle Setting Jig is a great tool for setting the correct projection of blades and chisels in a honing guide. This Angle Setting Jig PDF offers plans and material suggestions so you can assemble your own.
