MOPanfisher Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 I am not even sure how old that knife is, it was a cheap one. Bought a Mister Twister several years ago expecting it to croak, but new one is still in package. Have sharpened the old knife a couple time but it still works great. The only use for a 12 volt knife is if you simply don't have any AC electricity available.
blacknoseddace Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 How do you sharpen your mister twister blades with the serrated edge? Just curious.
MOPanfisher Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 I bought one of the little diamond knife sharpeners, it has folding handles and is tapered more like a diamond grit ice pick. Simply run the length of the sharpener through each serration, it starts in the center and sharpens out to the points. Takes a few minutes but will make a big difference. Shouldn't take but a few passes on each serration, of course there are two blades. So while not a major exercise, for me it requires my reading glasses and a little patience. Also I found out if you over sharpen them and make really sharp points on the serrations the blade has a tendency to catch on bones and even go through the spine easily, so only 2 or 3 strokes per serration should make a big difference.
