I will go out to the shop today, kiss all of my v-tools, and tell them how much I love them. Thanks for adding this series of V-tool sharpening videos.
In a fit of false economy, I purchased a veetool off Ebay, which was admittedly reported as damaged by the seller.
By the bevel, it appears that it (she?) Was allmost brandnew , and had been dropped onto an unforgiving surface keel first. Being as she is, the largest of her breed, a 22mm #11 Pheil 60degree, this weight of metal hitting the floor resulted in a 2mm deep chip, right where the keel blends into (her) left flut and leaving her looking like she had lost in a bar fight.
Would you recommend trueing up the whole veetool or just carry on with re-cutting the keel, and tending the left flut, and matching up the right squentialy?
It all depends on how bad is the damage. Trueing up is probably the best idea.
(that was #12/ 21mm)
Trueing up first is a good idea. Otherwise, it will bug you all the time.
and getting the tool squared off would give a strong starting point… makes good sense!
My thanks for your time

Absolutely, no problem!
