CulturalWoodsman:

The site http://bill-hay.com/Convex/Convex.htm is a good one, and there may be instructions in one of the back issues of almost your namesake.

That is www.backwoodsmanmag.com

One of my favorite reads.

If you make a "hodoo" hone, then please post, or mail and let me know how well it works!

Do you have a belt grinder that you can slack belt grind with? If so it's a very straightforward process. If you want to do it by hand with an existing flat grind knife you can use a mouse pad with emory paper and strop the blade.
