Don't think I've seen the forum go this many days without posts. Nobody sharpening?

I would gloss over too...I am curious how you explain the KS jig though... since "the science" is basically the same. I do get that a "lay person" will appreciate a visual of seeing an actual angle vs. an arbitrary distance.

It may not be entirely needed, but I like that it is there. It pulls the angled section into the blade.
I don't disagree.
What I did prior to answering earlier was tighten the "Knob for locking Protrusion" enough so that the spring didn't have any affect, and found that I could manipulate the jig quite well without the spring's influence. But it is a convenient feature.
Oh yes, totally agree with this. Once locked in place the spring has zero impact.
Not quite what I meant... I just tightened it enough to negate the spring, I could still slide protrusion piece back and forth to set the distance, without the spring doing anything... then tightened it down.

Quote from: tgbto on May 28, 2024, 05:17:44 PMIf I were to become a "knife only side job sharpener", I'd rather go with a variable-speed belt sander, a coarse-to-ultrafine-grit set of belts and a leather belt, a BGM 100, USB-430 and a knife jig.
Quote from: John_B on May 27, 2024, 08:23:49 PMGreat to hear. I have 2 support bars so for knives I will be setting one for honing and one for sharpening. I will use my jig for setting the projection distance on each knife. Going this the new KS-123 won't be used too much unless someone wants a different angle.
Quote from: HaioPaio on January 06, 2023, 08:47:22 AMAs per the "The Forest Service Ax Manual - one moving part", 17 to 21 dps is suggested for the bevel, wich is 34 to 42 deg inclusive.
However, an microbevel of 25 to 32 dps (50 to 64 inclusive) is recommended in addition.
However, you are talking about hatchets, not axes. I should read more carefully.
