Knife Sharpening / Re: Which sharpening jig for t...
Last post by Outdoorsman - March 10, 2025, 02:48:31 AMThank you for the advice! 
It looks like a good alterantive.
I had to add that the throwing star is a sort of chisel grind. It has four edges that leads to the point,and the back of the four edges on the star is flat. Ower time throwing,one has to restore the edge and point,but at the same time it will be a small second edge/burr on the flat back of each star that also has to be slightly sharpen. Do you think that this SVD-110 is capable of performing all these tasks?
Please look at the pictures. One shows the front with a small edge,the other the flat side.

Last post by Thread Killer - March 09, 2025, 06:43:52 PMGreat stuff! I saw a line, but stupidly thought it was just the honing process. I realize now it is layered steel. I normally don't do double bevels on chisels, I think it is proper in this case. I am not a wood worker, just a sharpener, so this will probably go to a friend. Thank you, Dan.

Knife Sharpening / Which sharpening jig for throw...
Last post by Outdoorsman - March 09, 2025, 05:35:12 PMHi!
I am a new happy owner to a Tormek T4. There is a lot a of accessories such different sharpening jigs for knives and axes and so on. My hobby is knife throwing and includes trhowing stars. To find a jig for a throwing knife is easy,but my question to you Tormek owners,which jig/sharpening accesoires would be best to attach a throwing star to the Tormek? The throwing star is unlike most other tools often seen being sharpened by owners,but while practising throwing the stars to a wooden board the point has bent. I need to reshapen the entire edge to get the point sharp again. Is the Jig for Scissors the best choise? See picture of the throwing star.
I am happy for any advice you can give.

It shows a method (and gives an explanation of how it works) to renew the edge of the chisel.

Sharpening a chisel is harder than I thought when you do it right. One was a Japanese piece. I was able, (barely), to flatten the back on a stone, but the way Japanese chisels are made with the hollow back this may be the last sharpening. My question is, when you hit the hollow part is the chisel ready for the garbage can?

General Tormek Questions / Re: Problem sharpening on T-4 ...
Last post by MikeV - March 07, 2025, 01:44:52 AMThanks for responding, Ken. Per your recommendation, I found the TNT-300 on eBay and ordered it. Coincidentally, I had copied my original posting on this forum and sent it as an email to customer support in Sweden requesting any advice. Haven't heard anything as yet. I am heading to a nearby Woodcraft store tomorrow evening for an introduction to the lathe. While there I plan to ask anyone with Tormek experience to share their wisdom. Appreciate any and all suggestions.
Mike
