Summary: Real Expertise on Getting Your Knives Really Sharp
Comment: 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.)
Rating: 4
Summary: Less is more.
Comment: For those inspired by the Razor Edge Systems catalogue: don't expect a single word about hollow grind straight razors in this book because you won't find it; in general, the care for this type of grind could have been treated in more detail.So far the missing star. But it offers simple and no-nonsense techniques to sharpen axes, knives, arrowheads, chisels or chainsaws yourself. It will keep both dummies and experts from bringing their tools to the local store for sharpening.

Summary: Not so Sharp
Comment: I was overall disappointed in the 'procedural' simplicfication. The book is full of angles and different edges but I ONLY wanted to know how to sharpen my kitchen knives, not a campsite axe and so I should've researched this better before buying. There are different methods minimully explored. This book has not helped me sharpen my carving knives.
