November 30, 2011 at 2:09 am #1013139
Just wondering. Have you cut yourself with that knife? I have and will not go near one.
November 30, 2011 at 2:19 am #1013143Curious how the knife would be at fault for cutting someone…
November 30, 2011 at 2:22 am #1013147Not to change subject, but those are neat looking knives.I’ve never used one.
Is it worth a purchase? I’ve always used a Rapala knive, but willing to change…..
November 30, 2011 at 2:24 am #1013148If you mail it to Don (knife inventor), he will sharpen for free and return to you. Just send with a note and return address.

G, Don died this past year in March.
You can call them or send an email and they will be more than willing to help you get your knife sharpened.

November 30, 2011 at 4:21 am #1013173Finest knife I’ve owned its a masterpiece and fine steel hold edge a long time I own two of them and love mine
November 30, 2011 at 9:51 am #1013181My Brother has a Leech lake knife and I can do a pretty good job on them. The problem is I’m a little far south for your needs.

They are worth it. My dad has had 2 for a very long time, probably when they first came out. We mainly use electric now but when its comes to a fillet knife I havent used a better one.
November 30, 2011 at 1:33 pm #1013220The knife would not be at fault, but the double edge makes cutting oneself more likely, IMO. I have used several of them and they definitely are a quality instrument. I love the way they look. I have not seen the fillet method demonstrated that uses the top (second)edge. My finger cuts have been from that top edge that I did not use.

There is a shop in Hastings called “Lazer Sharp” on 19th and Vermillion. I believe they do medical instruments. May be worth a check.
November 30, 2011 at 2:01 pm #1013230Never mind.
I just checked them out…They are a computer type of outlet.
November 30, 2011 at 2:35 pm #1013238After buying this sharpener, you will be able to do it your self. Beleive me, I have tried about every sharpener around. I was at a sport show last year and bought a Work Sharp knife sharpener. Took it to the lake last summer and ended up sharpening every knife in the camp ground including the electric knife blades. Cabelas now sells them but gets $20 more for the nice carry case. I have also used it to sharpen lawn mower blades. The ax at the lake is so sharp, I think I could shave with it. http://www.worksharptools.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=90
November 30, 2011 at 3:09 pm #1013247Bought one at Cabelas earlier this year. Couldn’t agee more. I have tried quite a few different sharpeners. This one rocks!

November 30, 2011 at 3:32 pm #1013255Is that a sanding belt or a lathing belt?
November 30, 2011 at 3:45 pm #1013259There are multible belts with different grit counts.

November 30, 2011 at 4:39 pm #1013282that looks like a very nice sharpener, I will look into it. The Leech Lake knife will be a gift I get for myself at Christmas.
November 30, 2011 at 4:46 pm #1013293I saw that sharpener in a Famliy Handyman Mag. It was the first item I put on my Christmas list. The online reviews were good but it is nice too hear that it works like it says it does from someone I know.

November 30, 2011 at 5:25 pm #1013308Convinced me. I just ordered one.
November 30, 2011 at 5:36 pm #1013316So did I.
November 30, 2011 at 6:18 pm #1013332Absolutely love the Knife, but HATE the double edge. Hardly use it because of that! Cut 1 to many times
November 30, 2011 at 10:02 pm #1013404Not to jack this post but would like to hear feedback from those who bought the Worksharp Sharpener. Also…..be sure to warn everyone in the house when you sharpen the knives. Had one daughter to the ER from a cut.
November 30, 2011 at 11:18 pm #1013432I’d highly suggest to watch the video on the DVD they send with the product. Cut’s the learning curve if ya know what I mean…
I mean I would NEVER use a new toy without reading the manual. No never. -J.
