Sharpening Tri-Edge Hand Saw

Its not that hard to do.

If you sharpen it before it gets real dull, it makes it easier to follow the angles and you will have less material to take off.

From my experience, the teeth in the centre of the saw need to be touched up more often.

I like to use a fine stone to smooth out the dings and such on the tooth edges or the flat side of the saw and then sand and oil.

Helps relieve alot of the elbow grease/pains. If you know what I mean.

I most save a 100 or more dollars every year.

My one Sugoi is over 5 years old now.

Out of interest Is the sugoi the only silky with a sharponable blade??? Might have to try this if i can get my hands on the right file.

Retired my sugoi because the blades are so expensive!

Nice, I'd like to try that.

Where did you get the files? are they a silky product?

i have one matty i got mine from erichunter and in there book it tells u what blades u can sharper hope that help u out mate

Saw Sharpening File - ARS

Eric Hunter Ltd: Professional gardening tools for the environment

Nice, I'd like to try that.

 

Where did you get the files? are they a silky product?

Yes the file is original from Silky. Look out, as you can see in the video these are very fragile. I wrecked my first one, but once you get the feeling in sharpening it goes better.

I have 2 Sugoi blades which I sharpen myself, with a good result. But it takes at least 1/2 an hour to do.

Thanks, do you know if the gomtaro or any of the other saws can be sharpened, or is it just the sugoi?

i will have a look tomorrow in the book mate will let u no tomorrow nite i do no

SUGOI and NATANOKO-2000 can be sharpend if the blade is hardened then u cant sharpen it like the IBUKI

Any jeweller's feather-edge diamond file will work on the Sugoi.

Ebay it.

I also sharpened an Ibuki and Stihl Brand pole saws(the telescoping one with the deep notched blade) I think I have used it on a finer tooth corona as well that gets used for root pruning.

So I am pretty sure it will work on most anything. Impulse hardened, treated steel etc.

Used both the new sharpies today in Silver crown reduction.

I have to admit they are awesomely sharp and agressive.

Next Best part is knowing I saved myself another 100 dollars or more on replacement blades.

Cheers
