How do you get Wensel Woodsmans razor sharp??
I parted with my snuffers after using the Snuffer Tamer with excellent results. Now, I just cannot get these woodsmans RAZOR sharp.
Help!

check out the how-to's there is a thread showing how to use a mill baster file & stone to get them razor sharp.
for some reason, that method did not work for me.
have you tried the tamer on them?
Warrior,
Go to 3 Rivers web site. Under Archer's Den, then from there go to How-to-video's. They have a 3-5 minute video.
This is the method I use. For the final honing they use a flat diamond file. I have had no succes with the flat diamond file for final honing. I just use a good file for the whole process, ending with VERY light strokes.
Gets them shaving sharp!

I bought a 3" diamond stone from the hardware store for $8.61.
Works like a charm.
I use the snuffer tamer on all of mine, It takes a bit of time as you have to change the angle of sharpness but works great! Jim
I start with diamond stones, then a quality arkansas stone, and last I pull them backwards on a smooth walnut block. This last step really makes a difference. By the way I am talking about the woodsman elites. The older ones take a lot more work. If I had a snuffer tamer I would definitely try it, because even though the method I use gets them sharp, they are only going to reach a certain level of sharpness because of the blade angle.
JF,
Your proven Snuffer Tamer should work exactly the same way on the Woodsmen as it did on the Snuffers.
Steve,
That is GREAT news. Now, I've got to find that Snuffer Tamer!!!!!
