Hi,

Do you think it is possible to sharpen a carbon composite blade?
I would like to try to make a straight razor blade or a kamisori blade but is it possible
to sharpen the edge like a ceramic blade?
If yes what composite is the best performer for this application?
Carbon, Kevlar, twaron?
Gelcoat or just resin?

Thanks for your help guys.
Kind Regards,
Olivier

Hi Dravis,

Thank you for your explanations.
What do you think if I use a compressor?
8bars or 8kg/cm2 is it enough?

For the foil if I understand correctly the CF overlaps the foil right?
For grinding I know people specialised for razor.
Razor must be prepared on special stones then a leather strop with chromium paste then finally
a naked leather strop made of horse leather like cordovan leather or the like.

Could tell me how I can make a blade that is nice and shiny on both sides?
All videos I found show 2 CF pieces glued together.
Is it possible to do it in one mould (infusion, prepreg or wet-lay)?

Thank you for your support.
Have a nice WE.

Kind regards,
