Use a fine-grit slip stone or a diamond-coated honing tool to maintain the internal bevels, ensuring you apply consistent pressure on both edges during sharpening. If you notice the blade \"catching\" or tearing the grain instead of slicing cleanly, it is a sign that the edges need a quick strop—frequent light stropping will keep your 162 performing at a professional standard for years to come!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zen","offers":[{"title":"No Sheath","offer_id":48595512918116,"sku":"YKM13446","price":113.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Leather Sheath","offer_id":48595512950884,"sku":"YKM13388","price":142.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/NoSheath_1.png?v=1781705595","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/morakniv-woodcarving-hook-knife-162-optimized-double-edged-bowl-spoon-carver","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
