Everybody has a different perception of what the word “sharp” actually means.
To us, it means an edge sharp
enough to cut through a sheet of paper.
As such, our sharpening service will put an edge on your sword or dagger
that is capable of cleanly slicing through one.
An edge this sharp is more than capable of slicing through the
plastic bottles and tatami mats that are frequently used for test cutting.
Please note that our
sharpening service is cheap compared to other vendors offering this service.
Our aim is to put a sharp cutting edge on a blunt blade.
It will not have the perfectly honed finish that you will get with a whetstone and strop.
But we have done all the hard work for you.
If you are aiming for perfection, you will have to do some
finishing work yourself.
Our sharpening service is done by hand.
Sharpening machines can overheat the metal and affect the temper of the steel.
It is performed using the Accusharp sharpening tool which is also available for purchase from our store.
The Accusharp’s carbide sharpeners create a secondary V-shaped bevel terminating in a “paper cutting” sharp
edge.
The process creates a “raw” edge which is then lightly sanded
and cleaned.
The only drawback to this method is if your sword has an existing “appleseed” geometry, it
will be replaced with the V-shaped bevel. As such, it will lose the full cutting potential of an appleseed
edge.
All
of our sharpened blades are tested before leaving the premises. They are not dispatched if they are not capable
of cutting through paper.
