What is the best sharpener for this blade?

I would use the Lansky sharpening puck. I wouldnt use metal files, that would grind down the thin metal of the machete horrendously, when all you need is an edge.

A flat file, belt sander, or grinder for heavy sharpening (full blade or repairing nicks). A whetstone is fine for a quick touch up in the field. The machetespecialists website has a good tutorial.

I've never really sharpened machetes, they seem to stay sharp, for a nick i would use a metal file.

If you use 2 c clamps and attach the machete to a work bench and use a metal file its the quickest and cheapest way to sharpen this machete

The best is a ceramic system. Usually 2 rods at an angle stuck into a piece of wood. That steel should respond good to the ceramic. I just got a smith that is generally used for kitchen knives, but I like it because it will give me a good edge quickly and easily.

I have no idea where one could purchase a blade sharpener. I think it would be more cost effective to purchase a new blade, they are not that expensive.

I use a diamond machining technology (DMT) sharpener--fine + medium surfaces. Actually, I use only the fine and amazingly enough that seems sufficient. The one I have no longer appears to be listed on Amazon, but I would think any fine DMT sharpener would be OK--they're relatively inexpensive. The closest I can come to what I have is http://www.amazon.com/DMT-D4F-Dia-Sharp-Continuous-Diamond/dp/B002D4K90M/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1392345271&sr=8-27&keywords=diamond+machining+technology

I use a diamond rod to sharpen most all my blades. It allows you to hit any dips ,curves,angles , you get the point

If the blade doesn't have gouges in it, a kitchen honing steel will work fine. If the blade has visual pits, buy a good whet stone and use that.

I use the 08800 Presto Knife Sharpener that I got from Amazon which I use on all my knives.

I have a Boker ceramic knife. I did use the Duosharp to sharpen mine and it will definitely sharpen the knife. Is it the recommended way? Don't know. My instructions tell me to send the knife back to Boker to be sharpened. Brian

I use a work sharp electric sharpener on all my knives,It' quick easy and gives me a shaving edge.about $100 but worth it.

So much better! I have both and the Lansky sharpener is my go-to. The weight of the Lansky sharpener gives me a better grip, and the quality of their ceramic stone is much greater. I get a better edge with the Lansky sharpener.

I have no idea. I sharpen mine on a normal knife sharpener with carbon tip blades. any normal knife sharpener would work. I sure would not use a ceramic knife sharpener. I love the knife.

Try a diamond impregnated sharpener. Buck makes one that has coarse and fine on a slip out holder. A couple passes by each works for me.

I don't think you can sharpen the blade. I think it would need replacement if you were to dull the blade. I've cleaned over four hundred fish on my original blade and still goinig. I will never use anything else!!!

I highly recommend the KME knife sharpening system. I'll never use anything else. Amazon has the best price on it and YouTube has tons of reviews on it. With this system, you can put a razor edge on anything and fast. You can get a great edge with the standard stones (3 diamond or 4 ceramic, your choice...) or you can go CrAzY and buy the ceramic and the diamond stones along with some CBN emulsions and a kangaroo strop to create a mirror edge (if that's your thing...)

YES! Use the Wusthof Asian-style sharpener. It does an excellent job. It has both a coarse and fine set of ceramic sharpening stones set at the proper angle for this blade. I have had this knife for quite a while and still love it.

I wouldn't use a PP1 to sharpen this knife. use an Arkansas stone, a fine-grain grinding wheel or a butcher's rod-sharpener.
