Default Any ideas on best way of sharpening a grafting knife to razor sharpness ??

The message
from Sacha contains these words:

So do I and I use it often. But I would have thought asking a local butcher
might be an option. I bought a hand held knife sharpener from ours and
that's been very useful, too.


Hmmm. I used to sharpen my local butcher's knives for him. Mind you -
they were all cheap rubbish, and needed sharpening almost as soon as
he'd made a couple of slices.

Now *MY* butcher's knife has kept its edge for nearly a year - but then,
it's surgical steel.
