What this sheet is for
Hit the same angle every time, and see which blade is going out for regrinding more often than the work it does explains.
Who it is for
Woodworkers, carvers, turners, leather workers, bookbinders and any studio that keeps its own edges — or sends them out.
How to use it
- Number each tool and fill in its edge type once, with the angle and stones you use on it.
- Note whether a spare blade is held so a bad edge does not stop the job.
- Log every sharpening or service against the tool number, with the grit or method.
- Record anything sent out — who to and what it cost you.
- Look down the log before buying: a blade that is always out is telling you something.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Edge tools and blades as things that wear: each one identified with the angle and method you have settled on, then a line every time it is sharpened, set, replaced or sent out.
Your angle, written down once. Bevel angles, honing grits and how often an edge needs touching up depend on the tool, the steel and what you cut with it. Write the angle you have chosen for each tool so you can hit it again — nothing here recommends one.

Questions
Why does the sheet not give bevel angles?
Because the right angle depends on the tool, the steel and what you cut — and on you. The angle column is for the one you have chosen, so the next sharpening matches the last.
What counts as a service, not a sharpening?
Setting saw teeth, replacing planer knives, fitting new carbide tips, or sending a bandsaw blade out. Anything that changes the tool rather than just its edge — it all goes on the same log so the history is in one place.
