Got to admit this is the first time I have heard of using a belt sander to sharpen knives much less a straight razor.

This is a professional restoration job, no longer a simple honing job.
Contact someone who can do it from the classifieds. I hope the razor can be rescued for future use.

PS. My BS detector went off pretty big while reading the op. I'm HOPING this didn't really happen. Pics?Last edited by mjsorkin; 07-24-2013 at 08:02 PM.

Yea, your PS about BS is high on the list too. It is such an "unusual" method of sharpening that Trolling could justly be suspected. Originally Posted by mjsorkin

You beat me to it. Power tools are not the end all to be all, especially for blade edges of any kind other than lawn mower blades and axes. Ouch this story hurts to read it. Originally Posted by BobH

I once got a brand new Dovo in for honing... well it was brand new before the owner took it to some knife sharpening business in Stockholm.
They had made o good job destroying it on what I suspect is a belt sander.
They even had the guts to brag about how thin they got the edge, it was like tin foil, no stability left at all.
In the end they paid him for a new razor but still said that they have sharpened razors before and no one ever complained!Hur Svenska stålet biter kom låt oss pröfva på.
