Maintenance & Sharpening

What keeps a blade and a mechanism alive. The department gathers stones and sharpening systems, oils and lubricants including Brunox spray oil, and universal cleaning kits for long guns and handguns. It also carries replacement blades, notably for Silky Pocketboy saws, which are swapped rather than resharpened. A useful reminder: a maintained blade cuts better and longer than a neglected new one, and regular sharpening at a constant angle removes less steel than a late correction. References state the grit of the stones and the fit of replacement blades.
