I sharpen mine by hand on a piece of sandpaper.

Yep, skews and beading tools respond real well to it, and it's a place to
use some of that paper that you take off the sander but keep, because it's
still got some bite. If you use PSA papers, you can stick 'em to a melamine
surface and have a "stone" to freshen edges with by stroking the tool rather
than vice-versa.


If you find that the bevel gets too short, use the grinder to take away
the heel of the bevel then hone on the sandpaper.


Grinder's too good for 'em. Use the belt/disk sander.
