Old Time Sharping System

Dear Paper Modelers:
After moving and then doing a Summer clean up of the garage I found a Penknife hone that my father must have gotten many years ago. It is Marked Water of Ayr Penknife Hone. Having taught Wood carving for 20 years I have used lots of different sharpening systems through the years, and I just tried the Penknife hone on the #11 blade and it is by far and away the best edge I have ever put on the Blade. If you can find one in an antique store or garage sale get it. below are pictures against a 1 inch grid of front back and side views with a homemade sharpening stick I used in wood carving made with 1000grit sandpaper on one side and jewelers rouge on the other.
Model on,
Miles
