Don Canney - Leech Lake Knives

[pureinsanity]

I know Don is no longer with us but does anyone know what this means for his knives?

I heard talk that the family was going to keep doing what he was doing. Every year I would bring my knife in to Don to get sharpened. Wondering if we are going to see the family take over the sport shows or if I should invest in a nice knife sharpener????

Love this knife! Best knife I have ever owned!

well if this helps you

you dont need to get it sharpen every year

i had mine i think 10 yrs before i took to him to reshapen

and it had cleaned many many fish it wasnt like i use once or twice a year

When its sharp i could shave with it. However I cant get a hair to come off my arm anymore. It is due.

Check with guys that resharpen auger blades they maybe able to bring it back or I would learn how to use a stone and work it until you get they way you want it. I use a stone or sharping all my knifes and was taught by my dad but I have had a couple of knifes done at a place that sharpens blades and I wasn't disappointed

Hi, my new Leech Lake just came in the mail the other day and last night I filleted three fish and today the edge feels dull already. Does that sound right to you? Tried to sharpen it with a ceramic rod that Reed's recommended but it still doesn't feel that sharp. What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Chad

Looks like it's time to catch some more fish to try it again!

The family still runs the operation and knives are still great!
