Just here to have fun and show you guys some of my journey to becoming a full time blade smith! Stay for a while and enjoy the show! I have lots of cool and exciting videos to come!
When I was using this on a short blade (about 2 - 2.5") it felt like the stone was rolling as it got to the tip. Is that normal since if you stroke from back to front, you run out of blade to sit under the stone as you reach the tip?
Thank you for a very informative and well put together review. It's clear that you know what you speak of and It's refreshing to see a video of this quality.
This was a good review. I have had the TSPROF KO3 Pro Hunter for a couple of years and have sharpened a few knives. I am very pleased with the quality and accuracy. My kit did not come with the AxiCube but I recently ordered one along with a translucent Arkansas stone.
Great review. I currently have the Kadet and ordered the KO3 Pro Hunter yesterday. I am planning to sell my Kadet. I didn’t know they offered a trade in program
If at all it's the best sharpener*, a device that makes your knife sharper. But kudos for using thin brochure paper for testing, because even a dull knife can cut printer paper.
Awesome review, I'm really interested in getting one. I'm new to sharpening, but I have a large collection of Atoma diamond plates and Shapton glass stones. Can I use those with this platform? I just spent a small fortune on the stones and don't really want to buy new ones. Thank you!
As long as your stones are the 1" x 6" your good. Actually - I suppose you could even use larger, or smaller abrasive stones, provided the have the bevelled ends to fit the TSPROF stone holder. That's a wicked nice set of stones you have, wish I had more than just the standard diamond set that came w/ my TSPROF KO-3 Master Kit! They are quite an investment. Good luck with your sharpening...
Is there a way to contact you to buy some of your knives that isn't through social media? I don't have any social media but I'm really interested in your work
Thanks for the review , I noticed when you sharpen on one side of the knife you sharpen from heel to tip and other side from tip to heel , because I have done this too , But I heard its better to keep the scratch pattern going the same way via both sides , the edge may get slick by diminishing the teeth of the scratch pattern, Do you have any insight on this ?
Great video, nice sharp camera angles and impressive results on that knife. I just got delivery of my TSPROF K03 Pro the other day. Do you ever have to clean the strop plate you use, and if so, how do you clean it? Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Good stuff, watched a lot of Kydex sheets and just started 2 weeks ago. That was a good hint! I would have a question, how do you prevent ratteling whilst still giving the blade enough room?
Thanks for the video. However, the way you have that knife clamped is incorrect. The L hand one isn’t making full contact with the flats and will skew the angle. Move both clamps to one side of the centre pivot point and secure the blade so the clamps are nearly touching each other. Also, work on just one side to achieve a full-length burr before flipping.
I actually haven’t needed to replace any stones yet besides the corse stone. I replaced it with a hapstone brand and I’m happy with it. I also added a veneve resin bonded diamond stone at 800 grit, but I wish I got a 400 grit instead. I appreciate the comment buddy.
Why has nobody liked your video? It is so sad that everybody doesn’t like video. You should get more likes and followers and colors. How many do you have now? I’m so glad that I’m coming cause it sad to see you have no library no followers no qualities no white so sad so this is why I’m coming in. This is even where I’m surviving and I’m I don’t want to watch any videosand I am going to
Great video and i really like the sharpener but the one thing I think I would change is that the angle finder is made on the rod. It moving around and jarring around the whole time your sharpening cant be good for it.
@@bpcustomknives4392 I’ve watched other videos and how raising the angle by .1 helps the “micro bevel.” But it seems everyone has their own way of doing it. Some add .1 to every diamond stone swap out and others just do it on the last stone. But I’ve already sharpened 10 knives with this K03 Hunter Pro and I love it.
@@SparticesIt just comes down to user preference. As you get more comfortable with the system you will definitely develop your own style of sharpening. Your edges will get sharper and sharper as you get better and better. The key is making sure your apex is clean and adding .1 to every stone is not 100% necessary, but I can see how that would help ensure that the stones are making contact with the apex of the edge. Cheers buddy 🤙
I bought one of these for personal upkeep of my higher end blades and definitely haven't got my moneys worth yet😅, but I love the system and no buyers remorse
Us guys have an indescribable affinity for quality, fitment or ergonomics. Like the way a VW beetles door shuts, deeply pleasing and is a key reminder that no matter where you're from we can all appreciate the famous German standard of "Gootentight". Not unlike how most of us use in place of a torque wrench whilst ratcheting, wrenching.....crossthreading....wrestling something into submission...you know what I'm talkin about!
Deburing is the most important step and raising that angle just a touch is going to help get rid of that burr and the root burr. I doing something semi similar.
Yeah , TSProf actually recommends to raise the angle 0.1 degrees after every stone , I don’t do this but I like the idea of rising the angle 0.1 on the last stone , on a leather strop backing off 0.2-0.3 degrees will help from rolling the edge , I have been using bass wood with stroppy stuff or gunny juice diamond emulsion, with the wood you can keep it on you final degree with rolling the edge , My biggest problem with the K03 etc is hitting the tip and keeping it perfectly flat at the tip , I have to concentrate I don’t roll it .
