recently, ive been trying to get back to our oldskool roots more and more, and integrating some classic, tried and tested stuff into my mind & kit.
i came across a slight dilemma when i tried to sharpen a scandi edge knife with a stone that i found by the river. i came to the conclusion that unless you have a straight, as well as flat stone, its not really going to work, and will change the edge to a convex hybrid. those kind of stones are not so easy to find, and will probably have to be made, using harder stones, to re-shape them.
has anyone some knowledge on primitive edges of blades ?
was a convex edge used on most things over here ?
how old is the scandi design ? ... how long has it been on english soil ?
