I'm very glad I bought this book. I'll use it often. Has terrific instructions that are easily understood.

BUTZ GIVES YOU A DETAILED EXPLANATION ABOUT EACH TOOL, WHAT IT IS FOR AND WHY TO SHARPEN IT THE WAY HE SAYS HE DOES. HE NOT ONLY TELLS WHAT STONE OR COMPOUND TO USE TO SHARPEN THE TOOL, HE ALSO TELLS YOU HOW TO USE IT AND TELL IF IT IS SHARP SAFELY. HE USES WORDS THAT ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND GETS THE MESSAGE ACROSS HE IS TELLING ON HOW TO DO.

Great for those looking for a way to sharpen odd shaped tools.

Excellent
