Large sharpening wheel

Chujybear · Dec 16, 2022

Hi.
probably a question for those doing knife work here.
mom looking for a large wheel for sharpening knives.
I have a tormek which has a 9” wheel. I’m looking for something at least 15”
Do wheels like that still get manufactured?
bigger is fine too.

you may find such at an antique store. in the spring many are busy "cleaning out the barn". some fantastic goodies show up in local junk yards. give the bay a try or craigslist. lotsa good stuff there. last year on the bay i got a leg vise less than 200 bucks. it came in perfect condition. a great addition to my blacksmithery.

I am keeping an eye peeled for Ḵ old wheel. But materials have evolved, and i’d Like something a little smoother
