Hi

On the bottom of this page is an inexpensive Round Knife for leather.....$6.00

If you want sharp corners just use a 2" inch round grinder wheel 80 grit and grind the steel away.

I sharpened it on a 2X72 220 grit belt grinder. Polished with a hard buffing wheel

I drilled a 1/4' hole and put the bolt in it to hold the blade in place.

Huh, now that sounds handy. But what about holding an edge? After a single use it would've dulled right?

Hi,

For me it's use is primarily for a straight cut-off line

I just modified the Pizza cutter 7/9/14....seems to work pretty sharp 🙂

If you get a chance.... get one and grind away any part of it you don't need

How Long it will stay razor sharp...I don't know.

Hi ,

Update:

When I sharpened it I used a low angle chisel type of grind.....rather than a "V" grind
