Popular Post MoeFOH Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 Here's the little vid and text guide from Massimo on sharpening the Figaro... You can use a sharpening stone. You can easily sharpening the cutters without dismantling but it's easy to unscrew the two parts. Before sharpening the cutter place the sharpening stone in water about 5 to 10 minutes until it is completely wet and put the whetstone on a damp cloth. Keep the blade at an angle of 10 to 15 degrees on the whetstone. Apply a bit pressure when you grind the blade forward and release the pressure when you grind the blade backward Continue sharpening one side until burns starts to appear on the edge and then sharpen the other side same time. The water on the whetstone gets muddy during sharpening. Do not wash the muddy as it helps a knife sharpened. 20201126_095837.mp4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for crossing the Atlantic and moving through New York's facility. Thank you, definitely going to order one ! I ordered mine this morning! I’ve wanted one of these for a while, I was sold once I saw the bond roberts logo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerPimp Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Once again this place is costing me more money. I have been meaning to purchase a new cutter and then I saw this thread. Ordered one can't wait to get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place an order already. Been eyeing the cutter since I saw it on this forum in an earlier post/discussion re Fox, but didn't find any shops that ships to HK. Hopefully if this sharpens as advertised, this will be the last cutter I need to buy, though need and want are two different concepts altogether.

Joeyjojo Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Got mine today and used it as soon as finished work. Really clean cut, and fantastic value for money compared with some of the other more gimmicky knife style cutters out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerPimp Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Got mine yesterday. I was super impressed with the finish and craftsmanship. Had to test it out right away. It is definitely sharp. Also I will say the way that it was designed was well thought out. You can really see what you are doing compared to my Xikar cutter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Very nice cutter. Slices just the cap off perfectly with the right technique. Takes a little practice, a good eye and a little sobriety. Surprised no fez monkey logo though! Foxy got the fox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
