My 62 year old meat cutter in Des Moines told me to quit sharpening my boning knife on a belt grinder, and I finally listened
He said 'you're burning the temper out of the tip, dummy' and pulled out a 600 grit stone right there in the cooler, and now I want to know if anyone else here switched off power sharpening for good or if I'm just being old school for no reason?

Had a similar deal with my chainsaw years back, was running a file way too hard and chewing up teeth, then some old boy at the shop showed me how to touch it up by hand with a guide. Took twice as long but the chain lasted way longer and cut straighter. Still keep a stone in the truck for my work knives too. Power gets it done quick but you pay for it somewhere down the line.
