A Box From Russia Changed My Life 

Thanks bud I'm gonna check in to these. Want to make sure I get everything I need first time.

@@queefersutherland8495 They are $935.09 for this kit now ....

@@SV-Flying-Tigress whoa that is quite an increase from the last price. Thanks for telling me.

KLRCory I'm very curious about this system. I would love to get some input from you as I have found little else online about it. I appreciate any information about it you can give. I am considering a step away from the kitchen (im a cook) and into the sharpening business. My email is go2gregoryjsmith@gmail.com. thanks again

old-school solid design, professionally built thought, looks really nice. Been using self-made one for carpentry axes, works well, still worth the effort to learn free hand when you have to sharpen in the woods though.

Curious about the cost cause it looks like the set he had in the vid ia upwards of $550usd?

Same but man can NOT get a knife as sharp as a jig system can get it.

@@jeremylong6229 Maybe not, but I can shave with my axes, all hand sharpened. It isn't hard or tricky to do. A consistent stroke is necessary. And after a lifetime of practice, I have a very consistent stroke :)

That's what you have Germans for :D

Yeah, my Beetle was piece of crap, rest it's soul.

***** Oh yeah, for sure.

***** hehehehe. that's a great project idea.

Auto industry is still heavily corrupted with huge bureaucracy on top of it. Thus even the greatest of ideas are buried as soon as they apear

@@jacobwalls452 I don't think the precision was the quality compared here. It's a sturdy thing that was made to get the job done.

@@jacobwalls452 In fairness though you're right

Not even close, ak47 was a shity gun. Check history, it was quickly replaced with AKM and later with ak74

Not sure if you guys know, this sharpener is being produced in Izhevsk as well, the Kalashnikov's city.

You must have more space in your kitchen! :) MrsW

Sorry man, please dont get me wrong but 2:08 sounds so damn wrong.

LMAOOO

+Canadian Metis Man yeah. Cody knows what he's doing and does it well, but I can't afford that stuff. Coffee cups? I have those.

Actually, since ceramic is a lot harder material than steel, the rough part on the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup does sharpen knives well (as in removing steel). You can see this by the black lines of fine steel particles it leaves behind on the coffee cup.

I was a chef for 25 years so I'm pretty good at sharpening knives and yes I have a $25 ceramic sharpener that gives the best results I've ever had. That said most chefs can't sharpen a knife properly. This setup though would be good for tiny knives where you can't get a good sharpening rhythm going

You can also buy ceramic stones or rods specifically for knife sharpening. It's something like a 10,000 grit eqivalent for fine and 20,000+ for extra fine. On average ceramics also wear better than natural, and you occasionally clean them with something like BonAmi and a 3M scouring pad if they load up after a while. Only downside? Don't ever drop it.

In asia where i live they sharpen the knives on a food preparing pot and hell they are sharp.

vs German Capitalist Engineering : 1. It MUST be build so that it breaks, so that we can also make money on fixing it 2. It has to have a good exterior design - so that it sells for looks. Otherwise no-one will buy a product that breaks often 3. It must be easy to use

Definitely would like a Part 2

Yup...He's got me hooked on getting all my handed-down axes and hatchets in shape.

3 years later and he didnt see your comment😔

This has nothing to do with the cost of the product. I'm highlighting the fact that America no longer makes quality products like we used to. Take craftsman tools, for instance. What was once a very respectable tool line is now chinese junk.

We still produce plenty of things; it's just that what we make has changed. Our textile manufacturing and lower-end consumer goods (hand tools, for example) have mostly moved overseas, but higher-end technology manufacturing has taken its place. Of course, these newer industries often employ less people than once worked in the textile or steel mills. But to suggest the US has fallen behind Russia in manufacturing (in anything but small arms) because of this nifty---and probably unavailable to most American consumers--knife sharpener, is silly.

For an American to produce a set of quality wrenches and recieve a fair living wage, those wrenches would have to be priced much higher than they are when they're made by some Chinese kid who can survive off pennies a day.

30 years ago, you could obtain quality American made hand tools for not much more than 'quality' tools made in China today. Now, even the 'high quality' and expensive tools manufactured in America fail in comparison to mid range, inexpensive tools manufactured 30 years ago. Again, prime example is Craftsman. Many of the craftsman tools my father obtained in the 70s and 80s are still far superior in quality and build than expensive 'American quality' Craftsman tools he bought just last year.

+doloinc I'm totally aware of that. But again, our economy has changed since those days. And in order to still be able to actually afford hand tools, to keep the price reasonable and affordable, it has to be made by someone in a country who has a lower standard of living than ours. Sad, yes, but that's what we as consumers have demanded since the Industrial Revolution, really. But still, I see nothing made in Russian on the shelves where I shop.

part 2 is out

hahaha good ol AvE

AvE goes into way more depth

LCN on WranglerstaR talking about AVE!! ITS LIKE A MYTH OR SOMTHING, seeing as i follow all three very closely!!

I have a bad habit of yelling at RU-vid videos that are out of focus now. Focus Ya Fak!

That's not too bad. I've got to where I yell it at random things at this point.

It's "Chiki, briki i v damke". There is no "av" or "iv" in the language of slavsquats.

*hardbass intensifies*

When is that?

It used to be $240....

No it did not. I will prove it to you. Go to this link. It is the Way Back internet time machine. It allows you to see cached versions of websites. web.archive.org/web/*/tsprof.com For TSprof we have several, but I will go with May 21st since it was MONTHS before you video came out. web.archive.org/web/20160521003651/tsprof.com/ If you scroll down you will see there are kits and these are the prices you quoted. Notice how none of them look like the one you got? Go up a little bit above those green check marks. Click the white rectangle that says "Profile K02". Now scroll down and look at the middle kit. Does it look a bit more familiar? The price of the kit that you received when the video went live was around $346. You made a simple mistake when comparing and pricing the different units. You can even compare the prices now to the prices back then. PLEASE make sure to scroll farther down to the parts selector so you can see how much each individual part varied as some of the kits changed and prices reflect that.

Wranglerstar I was hoping this video was a year or two old, just so the hype would go down. I just found your channel and just found the sharpener of my dreams. But they're backordered and I'm sure I'll just get worse from here. Yikes!

it's still $241 ... The profile K1 basic set is $241. The masterpiece, the 'profile K2 professional kit' is $644. I believe, still a good price for what you get.

Supply and demand... If the quality is really as good as he claims, the Mfg cost can't be cheap, and production is probably done on a small "craft" level, not an industrial mass production scale. Very few products are still machined in mass scale, it would be cheaper to cast or stamp a product once it gets to a certain scale. Machining takes much longer and is much more expensive and can not be scaled up as quickly... Ask the Germans about MG34's vs Mg42's... So if these machines are milled and machined, and he gets a huge boost in demand, he cant just snap his fingers and make 1000 more overnight, so naturally the price will go up.... Before this video, he probably didn't have that much market exposure, probably none over seas...

Homesteading is all about having the ability to do things yourself, and not depending on people to sharpen your knives for you. Just in case they're not around someday . . .

I understand that, and agree with your statement. I will point out however that going out and buying a new one instead is not an improvement. The reason to get Cutco knives is the lifetime warranty and lifetime sharpening (assuming you can't do it yourself)

He still can't do the DD edges without a file.

but it's ok to get something air mailed from Russia ....

blauschuh It's ok, because this is a one-and-done increase in self-sufficiency. If they maintain this contraption well enough, it will in all likelihood last longer than them, AND their son, and possibly his son too . . . REGARDLESS of what happens to the original supplier. (And, with 9 days shipping time - is what I think I remember him saying - this was not airmailed.)

America is a continet

@@ghilliem.g.5824 North America is a continent. USA is a country.

@@burgerbobbelcher there are moltiple ways to divide continents, sometimes the Americas are refered as a single continent (America) and sometimes as separate continents (South, Central and North america, or just South and North america), but both of those are correct

@@rickeycooley9139 i respectfully disagree with you on that one

@@ghilliem.g.5824 Ok genius.. When someone says America , he mean USA not continent!!! Wow you stunned me with your knowledge of Geography😂

He basically made a small bomb. I'm not knocking it but it probably didn't go ever to well legally. Welcome to the so called land of the free. I could be wrong tho=)....

I have been thinking that myself about the wasp video. If I was guessing I would say he took it down because it's probably not a good idea to show people how to make explosives... That's my guess anyway.

Yeah that's what I thought as well. It's a shame because I loved that video!

no youtube probably censored it... i am concerned for wranglerstar to be honest with these new stupid rules they have

+appleman1999 yes more when that's really close to one of the poor man James Bond book explosives and that book is banned

$220?!! That's tempting...

i had to make a bowl of cereal when i saw the price so i could spit out every bite. i thought it would be 750 at the very least. if i wasnt so broke i would order it right now, but im gonna wait a bit. what a deal tho

More like $350. He got the K102 "Standard" which is the upgraded version

***** i have the lansky set with the diamond stones and ceramic and arkansas and the leather strop "stone". if i had to describe the lansky system in one word, it would be finicky. if you put different pressure on the stone, the rod will bend ever so sligbtly which changes the angle enough to make it look wierd and also affect sharpness. if you use more than one rod, it wont work because each rod seems to be at least slightly bent different. if you dont get the rod tightened into the stone at the exact same depth each time, it will ruin the edge. because the rod guide hole is oval, if the rod moves to the other side of the oval it is changing the angle of contact. unless the blade is straight with no curve, the angle is changing as you move along the blade.. actually a straight blade is also changing angles, you would need a semicicrcle blade. however, if you correct for all of these things and work slowly, you can get very good results, altho i have never been able to get mirror finish without a separate step, i can get it shiny so i can read letters clearly in the reflection, but in most light you can see plenty of scratch marks. for me, setting a profile and working to hair popping sharp takes a few hours, which is super slow but i do it while watching tv and its relaxing. still, i would love a better system, or the skill to hand sharpen like a pro

well he is 1 lucky man

marry me!

well said

definitely worth it, you'd be able to make your money back pretty easily too

such prices for sanctions

Keep in mind that this product ins't designed to home use, it is clearly too expensive and unnecesary productive for a regular person who need to sharpen three or four knifes per year. This machinery is made for commercial use and for those who for some reason have to sharpening a lot of tools on a regular basis. If you sharpen 10 or 20 knifes per day its more than affordable for you.

Steir Qwe- I agree with you concerning this product. I also disagree with this product because sharpening personal knives with a stone or a steel is a skill. Butchers,hunters,chefs and more have used skill to sharpen. This looks great though!

Cody quoted the price for the K01 model, not the K02 unit that he received. The K01 went up $25 while the K02 went up $40.

You understand supply and demand but you're crying over a 45% increase? Lol Most places like Apple and Best Buy hike up their prices 200% -- what you're crying about is nothing. Smart move, I'm buying it.

Neither Apple nor Best Buy sells knife sharpeners, (only electronics last I checked,) so that is an irrelevant comparison.

I imagine that guy can't make them by himself, a bit patience and time does wonders

That sounds like "Market Bear" pricing. Basically you jack the price until the orders stop and then run a sale on it.

Not even close, I'm not sure how much shipping is, but the unit with extra stones is around 350. Hell of a bargain for what you get, really.

+Squat251 Gaming No way! Seriously?

traderjoes yep, he links to the site to buy them in the description

Oh damn, that's really reasonable for that quality.

I guess I know what you gonna buy next (= Delivery costs not too bad, I would guess about 50$

Thanks for showing us this terrific system.

How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking. It seems he raised the prices by 50 PERCENT or more the biggest one only cost 424 when the video came out.

I got some extras including the double clamp for long knives, the stand, and diamond abrasive stones. Shipping is $85. Total came to $387. It looks to me that you could cut cost by leaving out the extras and cut about $150 off the total. Still beats a Wicked Edge by a mile. I did not get the rotating bearing shown in W's video.

So what. Go find it elsewhere, if you prefer different pricing.

Kate, Not sure to which comment you are responding. My response was to DavDavy's request for pricing info. I think it was a great price and as I said Paul was easy to work with particularly given the time zone he called from. He keeps some late hours.

Link is in the video description but he had to turn off ordering because he had so many orders coming in.

It would probably put a good edge on it.How long the edge would last is another matter.

You can get them sharp but the problem is they will not retain their edge for long. Cheap metal. Germans and the Japanese have fine culinary knives on lock down, its hard to find better steel.

Chef D, Lamson & Goodnow, operating as Lamson Sharp on line. Out of Shelburne Falls Massachusetts. One of the oldest cutlerers in the US and up until last year still operating in their original mill buildings in downtown Shelburne Falls hard by the Deerfield river. They started out in 1837. Their best forged is as good or better than any of the German or Japanese I've tried.They also make kitchen tools, print maker's ink knives , window glazers tools and Christmas tree trimming knives. I like pawing through the dusty boxes stacked underneath the display tables in their factory outlet store. G.

Lamson are made from German steel, and only 4116 Stainless. Not that impressive.

Try Swedish steel.

William Hayden agreed, I was all in at $250, $500 as shown is well beyond hobby level for me.

Look up the law of supply & demand

Art Heen I had this same problem with the old smiths kit that's like this. Right wear the blade profiles up at the tip you get a more shallow angle.

Thank you Darlene

+Ashe S Cutco is garbage bro. Who cares about the product when it's tied to a scam company like Vector?

I don't know what the status of Cutco is now, but my Mother had it in the 60's. I personally sold tons of it in the 70's. It may have changed hands since then but it was Alcoa owned back then. I still have Cutco that is over 50 years old and still great. I didn't mean to take away from this Russian sharpener. It looks fantastic and an going to purchase one. I know ir would do fantastic on my high carbon steel hinting and fishing knifes. It is really a work of art.

Yes you are right. I am not familiar with the brand Vector...as they must have bought the Cutco division from Alcoa some years back. Years ago when I was selling Cutco the whole set was about 150.00 If my memory serves me right. That was back in the late 60's. I know times have changed a lot. Can't imagine what they are now.

I sold a couple years back. Vector is their sales recruiting and marketing arm, and I've heard management horror stories, but in general other than high pressure sales from some of them it wasn't a bad experience and the products are still well made and supported.

200 usd*

$200 for the complete kit only, and that is because they added different clamps, scissor attachment and the big plastic carrying case.

Riyame I was not happy with what I received. 550.00 for K01. Poor machining, parts didn't fit. I had to fix it

arboristBlairGlenn so you dont recommend buying the product?

I have asked him to post his issues on a forum thread frequented by the maker and even provided a direct link and he has failed to do so. I received my K02 and love it. There was a loose nut that caused an early problem but I leveled the bar and tightened it up.

And in the meantime, you're without a knife.

I can't denie that.

better than buying a new one

So, buy two. Use them one at a time.

I broke the tip off one of my cutco knives and they replaced the knife for free. Sent back the knife and sent back another knife just for sharpening. Quick turn around time. I have many other knives to use in the mean time.

tsprof.com/?lang=eng

It is in the video description.

Pretty nice website too.

No, Cody quoted the wrong kit when he stated prices. The K-01 kits he quoted went up $20-25 depending on the set, and the K-02 he received went up ~$40 for the first 2 kits and a ton for the 3rd kit

web.archive.org/web/20160307221958/tsprof.com/ Prices in March. $346 for the one Cody was sent. $268 for the K-01. So unless he lowered the prices just before the video and then raised them back up you were looking at the wrong unit.

I don't believe him for a moment. This is an advertisement payoff. He is getting good at not looking like he is getting a payoff. But hey, who could blame him? It's a business. For that kind of money, you can do a lot better.

Won't be long before the Chinese have it copied like the Edge Pro Apex

what about 216 for the basic on though?

You must be new here, or your memory is sub par. Anyone else watch the reviews of splitting mauls. he rightly tore that piece of garbage into tiny pieces and burned it. Who knows, maybe it was a dream.

time = money. so the less time you spend sharpening the more money you make by using the sharpened knife, scissors ect. Who says you can't sharpen other peoples knifes and so on and charge them a little. Also would be a great tool for blade smiths. Remember not everyone that watches this channel all do the same thing. I remember when Cody did a review on a Bahco hatchet and didn't like it much. I can say that Cody will give his honest thoughts on things he is gifted or things he is sent to try out. I also remember how many people criticized him for his custom made boots.

i sharpen my carry knife that i use everyday about every 2 months.

So one stone can sharpen any blade steel in any condition in a couple minutes? You must be really talented.

Make that three stones and I'll agree - it's all anyone needs. Coarse to remove damage, Medium to get an angle, then Fine to polish it. You can get fanatical about it and run up to 10,000 grit or more, but for an EDC that fine a finish won't last. If I was knocking out high volumes of blades daily, fine ... to maintain a typical home's 10-20 blades - that sort of outlay is excessive indulgence! This video brought to you by the wrangle selling channel

i can do it and its easy

Jesus Christ man, that's such bullshit. Oh yeah, I can sharpen a knife way better than a razor's edge and I don't even have to use a sharpening stone. I just go out front and get any old stone out of my yard, that's how fucking good I am. God, what a dick head, This guy just wanted to show us something kick ass and you're going to bitch about a product that will kick your ass any day, what's wrong with you . Quit hating on everything Debbie Downer, you're bumming us out.
