Double Bevel Sharpening & Brian Burns

[Thomas James]

I took the time to drive to Fort Bragg and visit Brian Burns back 2006. A treasure of a man! I highly recommend him as a teacher. Well, I have finally got all the components for his sharpening system. I wanted to share it here for those that haven't heard of it. Simple, fast, and sharp. Chisel joy! I know there are a million ways to get this done, but this works very well... ouch!  I just cut myself :)

Here is his new video on the subject:

Nice set up. Been doing double bevel for years. I learned it from my Zen Buddhist friend Koki. He learned it from Tage Frid. But I have to say Burns perfected it. That mans a genius. Looks like I gotta buy another freakin book. Thanks Tom.

Drive up the coast and meet Brian.  Awesome drive through prime wine and wood country. You only live once ... I think? ;)
