Cleaning Processes

Soap And Size

Sharpening of Damascus Bowie Knife

Resharpen both sides of the blade with a grinding stone at an angle of 15 - 20 °. A cutting angle of 30 - 40 ° is thus achieved. If a sharpening wheel is used, it must be cooled with enough water to avoid generating high temperatures.
