Jaager -- Thanks for the suggestion. I found the green sharpening compound for next to nothing online and will pick up some leather bands next time at the hobby store. Is there a way for keeping serrated edge knives sharp? I've got a Japanese hacksaw that I use in my miter box that I use alot and will eventually need to re-sharpen the serrated teeth. Any suggestions on this score would be appreciated.

I would like to see a tutorial on keeping razor knives sharp, the materials needed, process, etc.

Is there a way for keeping serrated edge knives sharp?

I have a serrated knife that I use for slicing tomato. I keep a ~1000 grit stone and hone it - being for food the edge does not have to be able 'to split water molecules when you blow on it' sharp. Being a stone the serrated points cannot dig in as it is honed edge first. My serrated blade is coves on one side and flat on the other. I do nothing to the coves side. Just working one side still gets me a sharp edge back.
I suppose I could strop it since that is done away from the edge. But I think that the sharp points -even being dragged away on the surface of leather would really tear it up.

If you don’t already have them, a set of Zona razor saws is a worthwhile addition to your tool kit. These are inexpensive; look on your favorite on line tool source like Amazon. Blades are replaceable and cheap enough that I don’t bother trying to sharpen them. In addition to cutting wood, I also use them for cutting brass tubing.

The Zona saws are much better than the ones that fit into Xacto knife handles as they bolt to the handles.
