Rick, if you go on the "How To - Resources" Forum, there is a thread (by Terry Green) on sharpening Zwickey's...If I remember correctly, he shows the Accusharp and sharpening with files...and it's on video!   :thumbsup:

I use a little triangle file
I used to put them on my Arkansas stone after the file but I don't anymore. I like the slightly saw-tooth edge

I got a foot long chunk of oak and had a cabinet maker saw it down so the angles looked right. I made four of them. Then I attached two files to each one. They work real well. I also gave a couple of them away as gifts. Everyone I gave one to likes them. I put 12 inch files on them so they are easier to hold stable. Gary

I use the accusharp. Works good. I use an older one to set the angle and a new one to put the final edge on them. I think Terry did a video that shows how.
