BCN Renovator

Post by poodling around »

I found this recently and noticed that there is very little mention of it on this forum and seemingly no photographs.

The only thread (and a very informative one) I could find is here:

viewtopic.php?p=280297&hilit=renovator#p280297

It is very small, about 1 inch long and half an inch wide.

So, for reference, here are some photographs:

There were two very simple items for sharpening BCNs provided either before sharpeners came onto the market and/or for people without one. This was one of them - the other was like a small emery board. They both work of course but need a bit of practice to get a good point!

Very interesting.

Thank you as always Orchorsol.
