Rule of Angles to Sharpen Machetes To sharpen machetes at an angle, observe this crucial guideline carefully. The objective is to create a razor-sharp edge by adjusting the blade's position relative to your body. It's not just about the speed or force applied; precision is paramount. 1. Hold the machete firmly with one hand on the handle and the other near the base of the blade. 2. Position yourself at a 20-degree angle to the surface you're sharpening against, such as a whetstone or sharpening steel. 3. Begin by stroking the blade in the direction indicated by the sharpening tool's design or your preference for sharpening method, typically towards yourself from the heel of the machete to the tip. 4. As you progress, gradually increase the angle by about one degree at a time until you achieve the desired sharpness. 5. After each stroke, inspect the blade to determine if it requires further adjustments in angle or additional sharpening strokes. By following these steps and fine-tuning your technique based on the feedback from your machete's performance, you'll be able to achieve an extremely sharp edge suitable for various tasks such as chopping wood or clearing weeds.
