Work Sharp

I bought a Work Sharp Precision Knife Sharpener for the purpose of keeping our sloyd knives at the Clear Spring School sharp. Unfortunately, it was not designed to sharpen such small blades effectively at my desired angle. 

So I made a simple jig that locks in the jaws of the devise and holds the knife through the use of three quarter in. diameter rare earth magnets.  The jig is in two parts, left and right. It works perfect and I'm grateful to have the skills required to design and make a devise that might be useful to others. 

The knife is now razor sharp and ready for fine honing on a leather strop. 

Make, fix and create. Assist others in learning likewise.
