Thread: Sharpening a chisel

My old man was a whizz on sharpening chisels.
Had three boys using chisels (translation using as a universal tool for everything).
He just used a oil stone,was pretty good on knives too but left us to do our own the chisels were his.

Looking good. Did you flatten the back? Polishing pitting out of the back seems to take the most time for me, but without doing that a mirror bevel doesn't translate to an excellent edge.

Edit: 40mm beat me to it...
