Book Reviews of The Razor Edge Book of Sharpening
Book Review: Five Star Read
Summary: 5 Stars
What an informative book. The photos are a little old (circa 1975) but that doesn't effect the content of the book. The history they teach in the field of sharpening is thoughtful and fascinating. The studies they have conducted in their research have been extensive and the results at times have surprised even the writers. I had no idea that the common man could get such a sharp edge on his knifes.
After reading just 30 pages I felt compelled to find their website and place an order for a very nice honing set. The package included a copy of the book which I obviously did not need. I asked them to substitute the book for a copy of the video they sell. They granted my request with no qualms.
I am obliged to them for the knowledge they have shared and I am sure I will do business with them in the future. I wish I could afford to purchase the honing set I bought for myself as gifts for loved ones.
FIVE stars without a doubt.
