Hey chris! Good to see you back. I recently had mohs cancer surgery on my face, during my recovery I rewatch all your videos as I usually do a lot of times. I don't look for knife related info on other people's channels, only yours! Thank you for the entertainment and all your knowledge about sharpening. Keep up the great work. Looking forward for more videos. I might shoot ya an email soon. Thanks again!
I appreciate the compliments, sir. It's taken years of practicing every day and watching lots of RRKS videos to get where I am. I'll have to see what I have in the way of supplies. I can probably throw a few strops together if there is any interest. 8-9oz tooling leather on an 1.5" aluminum backer. There's a lot of life in one of those strops.
Woo hoo! 😝👊🔪🔪🔪🔪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💯💯💯 Nice to see you back Brother! Missed your Sharpening Videos. Your Sharing of Knowledge and Help for Knife Sharpeners. Cheers from New Zealand 🌏🌿
First of all it was great seeing you with another video. I commented on the teaser thumbnail, thought i saw an india stone in the sink, but i see i was wrong. Sorry about the confusing comment there. I might have cried a little when you started sharpening that beauty, but if someone wants to sharpen it, its theirs to do with it what they want. The reprofile looks great, i would have slipped and left a scar or scratch for sure. Hope to see the finished result and maybe a video on the stocman too. I like to put different grit finishes on the different blades for different cutting tasks and love a big 75 stockman. Never got into waterstones. I know they work great, but just never liked the idea of all the prep, water, bridge etc. I try to keep it simple and not confuse myself. See ya next time.
Oh man your back good to see you again, but no diamonds and arkansas this time lol what a changeup. Its good to experiment around sometimes i feel i run all types of stones, but mainly have to say im just using diamonds at least for reprofiling find everything else is just too slow. Im one of your learners and i dont think id be able to sharpen the way i do now without your videos. I have even tried to teach friends and refer them to your channel as well. That case sure is nice.
We have very similar collection of stones. I too have the pebble 1k/6k stone and several King stones a couple naniwa water rocks too. The pebble gets more steel time than any other stone on the shelf, not sure why i just like the working edge it puts on my BUCK working blades.
Good to see you back! King brand waterstones are great stones at their price point. Sharp pebble that blue and white one are the chinese made amazon garbage. From what ive heard they work but are too expensive for their performance and they dish very quickly. So they're not good for beginners due to how fast they wear and they're not good for epxerienced people because theres so much better out there for only a little bit more money.
