Tip Of Knife Question

[Beulah Land]

Anyone know any way for a noob to safely remove a burr off the tip of my knife? It seems to be pretty resilient and won’t budge but I don’t want to try anything too drastic to clean it up. Any suggestions? No I don’t have a ton of tools.

And I know what a couple may be thinking..
“Dang…this guy can get that good of a pic of the tip of the knife but can’t get a single decent looking pic of an ant(another thread)the other day! Goober!”

Yes I know, but my camera is finicky lol.

Should abraid right off when you sharpen it. Or you can just stone the tip back into shape. Wear ocular enhancements if just doing the tip and go slow and deliberate if you are trying to preserve the original finish. Use a hard Arkansas stone not diamond, and you'll get a cleaner looking save.

Yea, that looks so minor I'd think a sharpening stone would do it with just a few strokes

it is minor but it hangs or drags real bad if your just trying to just the point of the knife for something. I don’t have sharpening stones tho.

You have knives. You need a sharpening stone. I would've suggested a quick tweak on a grinder, but the stone will work better for this. A file might work, but again I think the stone will work better. The stone will leave a better polished job in this case

Does Amazon sells these types of stones? If so can you give a link to which type you’re talking about. Thanks.

Do you have a coffee mug and a belt?

Sorry, I've had mine a long time. Maybe even before the internet really got started. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find a couple good stones on the net. I'm certainly not the best at sharpening, but I get it done.
My advise would be get a medium stone. That's what I use. It'll be a good in the middle, do all. But for that burr, I'd use a soft stone. It'll cut that burr off faster. Then use the medium to finish and polish the edge. Use a 22.5 degree angle on the blade to stone

Amazon has sharpening stones for sure. If you’re ever down this way I am sure we can screw I mean fix it up 😊

No tools, carefully stroke on the sidewalk. Look for a fairly smooth one.
