FIGURE 106.
GRINDING KNIVES.
1 Adjust the grinder rest at midpoint of the wheel so that
the blade is at right angles against the edge of the wheel. Move the blade
back and forth across the wheel until all nicks are removed (figure 106).
2 Adjust the grinder rest toward the top of the wheel to
provide the desired bevel. Move the blade back and forth across the wheel
until the desired bevel is obtained. Dip the blade in water frequently to
preserve temper.
3 If the knife has a double bevel, turn the blade over and
grind second bevel.
4 Sharpen the blade on oilstone, as described in paragraph
4d(1)(b) on page 135.
5 Remove the wire edge by stropping.
