Sharpening stones are used routinely to sharpen high end chef's knives, also in woodworking for chisels and hand planes (blades). A leather honing strap is commonly used to polish the edge of the blade leaving it with a silky glass-like feel. The sharpening materials and techniques shown in this video are somewhat dated. Investing in 3 or 4 diamond stones, a finishing (wet) stone of 6000-10000 grit and a honing strap would yield a perfectly smooth, sharp edge with minimal effort.
@@curiousman1672 thanks I have some eze lap rods and I'm happy with them However it's not applicable for this kind of sharpening since it's for a different purpose than just sharp
The laws for kosher slaughter are very much like the ones for halal but a bit more stringent. Many people who do halal slaughter will use a chalif because it is very sharp and will kill painlessly
Very interesting. Unfortunately separated by language. I really didn't understand his idea that smooth is not sharp, and vice versa. I thought they traveled together.
Any blade cutting edge on the microlevel looks like saw teeth. If you use higher grit stone, it produces the most smooth finish, and the "saw teeth" are not rough enough to cut into the product, so it can even sometimes not cut into tomato skin, although being perfectly sharp. The cutting edge is too smooth. You need those rough "teeth" on the microlevel.
