Cheap ceramic sharpener

[j_haus]

I came across an article today on cheap ceramic broadhead hones.  The guy was taking the old 4 to 5 inch ceramic insulators used in early home wiring and mounting them to a handle to be used as a hone. I managed to scrounge a couple up from a salvage place and they work great and cost a couple bucks.  Just thought I'd pass it along for those who may be interested.

You have one in you dish cabinet.  Get a ceramic bowl and turn it over.  Work you BH on the oval.

On a 3 blade use the inside of a coffee cup.

My brother gets some kind of burned out light filaments from the mill where he works that are little sticks of some ceramic-looking stuff, quartz maybe?  Anyway, they make a great little pocket hone for knives or broadheads.

Wampus, I use the same things.  They are great in combo with an accusharp.

A ceramic sand blaster tip makes a great blade sharpener.

My wife makes pottery and has a kiln, so I get very good ceramic stones from her. I am thinking of trying to make one for concave heads.....hmm
