A dull knife is torture. A sharp knife brings joy to the work. Who wouldn't want to sing a song about that? Happy is the one who can still sharpen their knives by hand. Because anyone who works a lot with a knife has experienced: sharpening devices that promise a sharp edge in no time are not very effective. Such sharpness disappears in an instant, and the blade is often ruined. There's no way around it: a sharp knife must be earned. However, it doesn't have to be a struggle. All you need is a little tool, knowledge, and practice. One path to this knowledge is through the book "Scharfmachen." More than ever, our time needs hunters who understand their craft. A sharp knife is an essential part of a hunter's toolkit. Bernd Balke - better known for his work in the East.
