SHARPENING Flexcut Tools
Your Flexcut carving tools are pre-sharpened at the factory to a highly
polished razor's edge. This creates an efficient, long-lasting cutting
tool. The more polished the edge, the sharper it is and the longer it
will stay sharp. Keeping your tools sharp requires some routine
maintenance. This can most easily be done by periodically stropping both
sides of the edge (outside and inside) with a Flexcut SlipStrop™ and
Flexcut Gold™ polishing compound. Sharpening stones should not
be used for this routine maintenance. They are too coarse and will put
scratches in the polish, reducing the sharpness.
The Flexcut SlipStrop™ is designed with the inside profiles moulded
into it, so that stropping the inside edge can be done quickly. It can
also be flipped over to accommodate the outside of the edge as well. |
