I finally got a leather belt for my 1X30" belt sander.
Why did I wait so long? I can have a mirror edge in about 5 minutes.
Actually Busskin blades make it pretty easy to attain a mirror finish.
My better 1/2 asked if we had plenty of band aids for her in the kitchen.

Well post some pics of the results! Sounds awesome.

Pics would be great!

I've got to get me one of those sanders. I don't think they're very expensive at Harbor Freight and I'd at least figure out if it's an option for me.

lets see the sharpness I wont look directly at the pictures I dont want to cut my cornea

The leather belt for the Harbor Frieght 1x30 is pretty cool. I went nuts when I got the leather belt and polished just about every fixed blade I had. I kind of went overboard, but I did learn a bit about edges along the way. My wife gave me some crap for messing with the kitchen knives, but hey it was fun.

Ya I went for about an hour yesterday starting with the cheaper cutlery .
Yes the leather belt, compound, 600 grit and 1000grit belts cost more than the Harbor Freight belt sander.
I tried it out on my 411 only after about 45 min of practice. Used the 600 then the leather. Mirror I tell ya.
I believe once I have all the kitchen knives the way I want 'em, keeping them super sharp should only take an hour once a month.
I'm thinking I'm going to have no problem winning the sharpest knife contest at next years "Man's" dinner at church.
BTW picture taking is not my forte. I'll do my best.

We'll appreciate anything you can post for us.

Still needs some work now that I looked under a magnifying glass.

Posting pictures arrrggg.

Oh my
