Alternate ways to sharpen hook knife and how to make it scary sharp

In this blog we want to share with you about alternate ways to sharpen hook knife and how to make it scary sharp for you to create beautiful designs in wood carving.

People also use a slim sanding block to sharpen their hook knife as well. As we said, since the knife has two points of contact at the end of the curve, you can use a block for the purpose too, and not just a dowel. The dowel allows for easier push motion since it can rotate at the edges of the blade utilising the whole length of the sandpaper. Although with a sanding block, it is limited to only corners of the block.
