I'm looking for reviews or recommendations on sharpening guides. I currently have about 20 Dockyard micro carving tools ranging from 1.5mm to
3mm in many different shapes. The manufacturer recommends a 20° angle. These tools are SOOOOOOOOO tiny that I cannot afford to muck them up by being inaccurate. Just a few wrong swipes will completely wipe a blade out. I love them, they hold an edge nicely and though I have run them on my leather strop a little I would like to be able to keep them as nice as when they arrived.Dockyard recommended their own sharpening jig BUT I am unable to locate it online, even at Woodcraft... which is where the tools came from. Short of finding a phone number I don't know what else to do.
Eventually (hopefully sooner than later) I plan on getting more carving tools in larger sizes. Some good quality tools. I've been using some Chinky China stuff and they were great for getting my feet wet but now I'm ready to make an investment.
Will you guys and gals give me the benefit of your experience, please?
Here are a couple of things I am considering.
and this is the only thing I can come up with for my tools that are not flat
Thanks in advance :)
