Experiencing The Outdoors
I recently picked up an Ironton 13" Straight Draw Knife for debarking some logs on the property. I haven't spent much time with it yet, but the blade is sharpened on a single side and a single edge. How sharp should this edge be? About how often or use (in feet) should you be sharpening or paying attention to the edge of this type of blade?
Just for side data, I mostly have Hemlock, Maple, Oak, Walnut, Birch and Beech trees on the property. There are plenty of others, but these would be the species I deal with on a daily basis.
Also, thank you in advance to any responses. This is my first post on these forums.
