Book Reviews of The Razor Edge Book of Sharpening
Book Review: Classic Sharpening Book
Summary: 3 Stars
John Juranitch was a pioneer in developing knife sharpening technology, and this 15 year old book is a classic. It describes the Razor Sharp method, which requires buying his products. A more up-to-date book that covers newer sharpening systems is Sharpening Made Easy by Steve Bottorff....Book Review: One of the Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
John Juranitch has compiled an amazing amount of knowhow in this book, all of which is based on his lifetime of experience doing one thing - - sharpening knives!. As a world record holder, he knows his stuff and I have been able to achieve amazing results sharpening knives using his directions. Best of all, his company sells all of the equipment mentioned in the book and it performs as described. I'm sold on this one and recommend it absolutly!Book Review: Real Expertise on Getting Your Knives Really Sharp
Summary: 5 Stars
This books slashes through the old wive's tails and misinformation in which the subject of knife sharpening has been known to be shrouded. Juranitch teaches with authority, and gives specific instructions which with a little practice make it fairly straight forward to get knives amazingly sharp. He also recommends the guides and hones manufactured by his own company. Though a little skeptical, I bought some equipment and found its performance to bear out his claims. Amazon has been indicating for quite a while that the publisher is out of stock, however the book is available from the Razor Edge Systems website. (Amazon frowns on URLs in reviews so I won't include it, but you can probably get it on your first guess. Otherwise use a search enginge.)Book Review: Perfect for the beginner and expert alike!
Summary: 5 Stars
I learned how to sharpen knives from my father and he his father, this book covers what your father never knew. After practicing on old knives for a month or two I was sharpening like an expert. People are amazed at how sharp I can make an edge, it's a thrill to watch a persons eyes pop out of their head when, in a very short period of time, you have taken their dull, bent and rusted knife edge sharpened it to a glistening working tool and are using it to shave your beard! I've had friends drop off buckets of knives they thought they'd never use again. This is THE BOOK, the bible of tool sharpening. It's simple and easy to understand. If there is someone who would like to give this book to me as a gift, I won't turn it down. My local library is getting tired of me checking out the same book over and over again!Book Review: "Excellent", "No nonsense", "The Bible for blades" all apply
Summary: 5 Stars
A straight forward, no nonsense look at sharpening almost anything that cuts. I've had my hands on the book twice, one belonged to a friend, one to a cutlery store. Neither could be had for less than the first born male child of the family. (I have no kids, so I'm still looking for my own copy of the book.) The scientific and metallurgic aspects were addressed, but in plain English (for a change), and the book was generally a good read too! More than a little humor involved. If you have a copy and want to sell (for less than a first born, of course) e-mail me!
