Maybe your experience is different than mine, but I have found that the majority of serated knives that I get don't actually need any grinding done and I can just skip to the last step of belts along the back side and the wire wheel in the inside of the serrations

[@jamesomalley4556]

Great Idea .

[@ared18t]

You can try Slip stones on the edge pro they have a small triangle shape to them. I know that the smiths honing guide has them. Spyder go makes some that will go up to a mirror polish I'm sure you could score and break them to fit and then take a blank edgpro plate and epoxy it to that.

I can’t buy the kit with the 3 small “sharpeners” for the rotary press tool, since I live in Denmark. Can you tell me what the kit is equallent to in the Dremel tools? 😊

[@leadingedgeknifeandtoolsha4128]

best way i have found to sharpen a serrated knife is to glue a 3mm strip of leather to the tormek honing wheel, put green compound and rock each serration, then flat strop the back, perfect. of course you are wrecking a honing wheel but they are like $80 and most serrated knives are $2 an inch, you do the math

[@capnmatt41]

I haven't tried or seen that one yet, thanks!

[@mike3020]

I use a diamond cone by hand and then strop the back side . Easy peezy

[@bonebibleviper]

Thanks

[@capnmatt41]

Sure thing.

[@DougAgee]

Thanks,Matt. Serrated blades are a time suck and seem to take twice as long. Are you charging more for restoring of the serrated teeth versus a general sharpening? Thanks for the valuable tips. Ordering the rotary bits today.

[@capnmatt41]

Thanks so much, Doug! I keep all this stuff at the ready and I really like the results so it's all worked into my $1.50 per inch. Appreciate your order!

[@billc6087]

What is that little belt sander?

[@strikenryken]

At about what angle are you holding the tool at in relation to the blade or does it depend on each situation?

[@capnmatt41]

I try to match the angle of the cut in the serration. You can do a light pass and see the scratch marks and adjust accordingly. Start low and work up and make sure you put a burr up along the whole length of the blade.

[@RedirGoud]

What do call that sideways vise you put the knife into.

[@capnmatt41]

It's a dual axis bench vise: garrettwade.com/product/ultimate-versatile-vise?gclid=CjwKCAiAu5agBhBzEiwAdiR5tOlGY_XS7sL6pCuDNs40x8c5mIShT2ETk36Z1bANkduzDronW489IRoCyZwQAvD_BwE Here's a riser I made for it to get more functionality out of it: americanedgesharpening.com/products/vise-riser-for-the-garrett-wade-versa-vise?ToPasteBoard&

[@JuliusHT]

Hi Matt. Is that a brass or steel wire wheel? Do you find that it leaves scratches on the rest of the blade? Thanks!

[@capnmatt41]

It's stainless. I suggest avoiding brass. There are at times where it'll scratch a knife.

[@michaelvanbuskirk8845]

Matt, Have you ever tried sharpening a serrated knife on the edge of the 1x30 belt? It works good.

[@capnmatt41]

I have not. My concern is in rounding off the points. Curious what size, grit and speed belt? Also, any links to a vid of it working well would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@michaelvanbuskirk8845]

@@capnmatt41 This sharpener does it that way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIHcaWeZlM6YZsk

[@RedirGoud]

I would like to try this. What grit did you use, and what speed?

[@John-jq2hf]

Can I do this to a pocket knife

[@capnmatt41]

Yes, I do. The various size bits make it pretty easy on some of those partially serrated patterns.

[@John-jq2hf]

@@capnmatt41 ok thank you
