Title: Sharpening challenged - how on the left-handed side?
Post by: SOS on August 29, 2007, 07:04:00 PM
Just picked up some ribteks and decided to try the file method.  I do alright right handed, but when I swap sides...I suck!  Any hints on the left handed side?  Is that why Grizzly's are popular???

Luckily the accusharp and leather strop will shave hair.....phew!

I never swap sides.   Just file over the top to get the other side of the bevel.

I just turn the arrow around so that the point is facing me and then file it in the same manner as the other side.
