I've been trying to freehand sharpen a set of cheap narex hand carving tools, I've been struggling to remove the wire edge from the flat grind side. I had used a strip of stiff leather which helped but had a variable result along the edge.
I used various size nails to give more consistency to the leather
but then I found I could use copper pipe crushed to fit the radius of the specific tool and then coat it with abrasive paste. this seems to work the best,
I'
be keen to hear what others do!
