How to remove a burr from the curved edge of a knife blade?
Recently, I was sharpening my favorite knife, my Uzi Bravo G10, and I noticed that on the curved portion of the blade, there was a burr. I tried steeling the burr off, and I tried a Smith quick sharpener but none of those did the trick. Any tips? Should I just buy a bench stone?
The blade of the knife is roughly 5 inches, and I have a roughly 2 inch wide leather belt. Would the belt work instead of a really wide leather strop?
Answer:
Take a long piece of leather, somewhat wider than your blade is long. Hold one end of the leather firmly against a flat surface, and then draw the knife down the leather, with the blunt side leading. Then switch hands, and draw the knife down the leather again, in the opposite direction, again with the blunt edge leading.
The burr is worked back and forth, each time weakening it a bit further, until it finally sort of snaps off.
Barbers and men who use straight razors have a leather strap which can be attached to a solid object at one end, and held at the other, called a strop. My father claims that you can also use a piece of denim if you must, or any very sturdy piece of cloth, like canvas.
Edit: Yes, the belt might work. Use the side of the belt that doesn't show, and you'll have to draw the knife down the belt several times on each side, changing the area that hits the belt. A bonus for the belt is that you can loop the buckle end around a doorknob or post, so you can pull the belt taut.
