Restoring panel lines

i bought one on bromfield st in boston from a jewelers supply house. it was a ste of the 2 piece handle and 11 wire blades. the thinnest is about a human hair's width. it cuts flaps and canopies well. it's slow, you have to keep lined up, but good. i've never seen razor saws that thin, they would be great.

Don't know if it has been mentioned but for rescribing I like the PE saws. All very thin and they come in a multitude of shapes.

Why would anyone want to bother re-sharpening a straight pin?

They get dull ?

Seriously, mine seem to get dull after some use. And I can sharpen them to a very fine point. Scribing tools (at least mine again) definitely get dull after some use.

I'm honestly not kidding here, and I just like really sharp tools. Sharp knives, scribers, and my favorite, the 4 legged sharp things that prowl all over our property (Borzoi :)

HLJ also sells the trimaster tools ... Look for HSGTP-3 & HSGTP-4

Airwaves also made a nice set a while back.

For years now, it has been hard to find fine sharpening stones of any type. Why is that? Is it a lost art? Not enough demand? Not profitable?

Try a woodworking supply place.

My Grandfather was an unregenerate straight razor user and he got me a wonderful stone many years ago. I don't know if a barbers supply place would be a good place to look, but it can't hurt to try.

I see plenty of devices at guns shows, camping shows, etc. hth
