 Has anyone used a Mizzy wheel to sharpen a flint? Thanks Brian.

I use diamond wheels to true up and re-shape flints.  Not HC, but it gets the job done, and for me, the flints last longer.  I can't knap worth a darn.

I was using a Mizzy wheel last night to grind the humps off of some of my flints. Dusty for sure!  JZ
