I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ru-vid.comUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

@joonies82 4 года назад

I love cooking and the outdoors, also collect knives, so have become fairly adept at sharpening knives of various kinds - through trial and error, and some scratched up knives along the way. I really wish I watched this vid when I started out, it really covers the basics and concepts excellently - it would have saved me a ton of time and pain along the way. Plenty of sharpening vids out there, but this presents the basics very well and explains some of the key concepts and principles you need to know, without an hour lecture. Only thing I thought could do with is a strop section, as it usually my go to method for more frequent maintenance and used more than my stones. Highly recommended for those starting their sharpening journey, really will fast track your technique and process. 5 thumbs up SharpEdge!

@SharpEdgeshop 4 года назад

Hi Joon, thank you so much for your extensive feedback and for recommendations, we are happy to hear you like our video! Indeed, regular use of the leather strop is important and recommended, like a honing rod it significantly prolongs the sharpness. We're also glad to hear you still have all 5 thumbs to point them up! 🤪😉✌️

I'm just now getting into Japanese knives, and using Japanese water stones for sharpening, and getting the basics down first is what is most important to me at this present time.

This knife sharpening video is simply the best,and most informative I've had the pleasure to watch! I have been sharpening my own knives in a similar fashion and those of friends for many years, and I have often watched many such videos on RU-vid. This video is by far the best and most informative ever. It is my opinion this is the best knife hand sharpening video on RU-vid You've even explained simply and in detail, what might look obvious to some. however, for some I'm sure many people don't realise these are a necessary and essential steps. (If somebody doesn't understand what I mean, then it's better that you play this video again and listen very carefully to the words.) I love your technique and your patience shows. You taught me some interesting and helpful nuances today. For that Luka and Cedo, I thank you sincerely. By the way, the accent of your voice man is so good tool. PS: I must admit though that like few other comments here, I found watching the knife running over his finger nail gave me an unpleasant sensation. So I tried it myself, and now I no longer get that sensation. Thanks again.

@SharpEdgeshop 5 лет назад

Hi Russel, thank you so much for such a lovely comment. We're very happy to hear that you like our sharpening guide. A lot of work and effort went into it, and comments like yours make it all feel worth it! We understand that the nail test makes some people uneasy, it's not a very common thing to do with the knife, but we're glad that you gave it a try! It's all we ask for, to try it and see if it works for you :) While it might seem intimidating in the first place, once you try it, it's not a big deal. Plus, it's the best way (at least for us) to try for burr levels. All the best!

I think they just love showing that burr test over and over!

We'd never thought of actually drawing the knife across our nail, that was creeping me out here!!

To Sharp Edge: This is highly technical and more involved than I thought. Maybe this is the reason my scissors are not satisfyingly sharp: I had researched, watched other videos, believing the tools I have, would suffice. I wanted to get that razor-thin blade type of cut. Question: What do you think of those automatic belt sharpeners in the marketplace?

@SharpEdgeshop 4 года назад

Thanks Eddy, we're glad to hear you liked our guide! I hope your scissors got the edge that they deserve! Belt sharpeners produce a lot of friction and heat during sharpening, so they are not the best choice for Japanese knives, as the chemical structure of the steel can change due to the heat which can make the knife more brittle. Water stones are better because water insulates the heat.

The nail test works well with dull knifes but when you have a hair splitting edge you will cut trough your nail easily the paper test is way better and safer to determine sharpness

@SharpEdgeshop 2 года назад

We notice that when the knife is sharp and completely polished, it slides on the nail easily, without any resistance. We've never cut through our nails, but you indeed got to be careful and apply almost no pressure.. The paper test is also a good option, but to really "feel" the sharpness, for us the nail test still works better.

That way you will encounter different profiles and different shapes and different materials and will become a better sharpener for it. Try to watch as many online sharpening videos, Instagram posts and websites on tips on how to sharpen the knife. Ask if you have any questions, usually the knife community is very helpful. 😉

Excellent video, the best I have seen on basic sharpening.How ever the nail test seems a bit too scary.

@SharpEdgeshop 4 года назад

Thank you! Give the nail test a try, just dont put any pressure on the blade and your finger will be just fine :)

This video and background music combined to make the pen knife i was sharpening feel like i was a cowboy sharpening a japanese katana in texas in 19th century

@SharpEdgeshop Год назад

😂 Hope that the knife was super sharp after all! The setting was perfect for it! 😉

Great video ! ! ! Thank you for sharing ! ! The one part doesn't look too great is the finger nail test. As a guitarist I'd probably be looking for another test option ! ! LOL

Thanks! Fingernail test is, according to our experience, the best way to feel the burr along blade's edge, but there are other methods to feel it too, so do what works best for you! As long as the knives are sharp and fingers intact, any method works fine :)
