Thanks, Golden. This is the kind he was looking at. Colonial Needle carries one to, I guess. Have you ever used the one that Clotilde carries?

I appreciate your taking the time to post the link.

there is a tool on connecting threads web site that sharpens 45mm cutting blades. I think its around 15 bucks. Worth checking out.

So the sharpener that Clotilde carries does not use sand paper? I couldn't tell by looking at the picture. That is the kind of info I need. I definitely need something more substantial.

Thanks again!

I got a thing at JoAnn's that is round and has sandpaper around it then some handle thing to put the blade on and you turn it (the blade on the handle thing) round and round. I should of saved my money.

I have used this tool - you can get it at Walmart too. The secret is to put a drop of oil on it.

CM-which one of these is the one you deemed worthless? The large industrial one or the inexpensive one? (The cheaper one had good reviews on Amazon.)

 

[CoyoteMagic]

The cheaper one works for a while but then gets too smooth to do any sharpening. It's just easier to buy new blades

 

[goldenluver]

now that's a sharpener! I buy so many blades that the industrial one may save me money in about 8 months.
