I incorrectly state my stone is the DMT coarse, in fact, it is the EXTRA coarse. I left a link to it in the description. Thanks for watching!

I agree. This is a highly efficient video on how to get 90% of the kitchen knives sharp. From here on out, the diminishing returns rise steeply. He could spend other 5 minutes to bring that percentage to 93% of the best kitchen knives. Other 10 minutes to take it to 95%... He could have given a two hour lecture of many other nuisances of what makes a good edge on which kind of steel, sharpened on what kind of grit, on what kind of geometry, to do what kind of cuts on what kind of material being cut.

@stephenallen4635 4 месяца назад

The number of videos that dont explain what,why or how to strop is maddening, led to me spending hours of wasted time dulling my knives instead of sharpening them. Also most of them dont mention the pressure to apply when sharpening at all. One thing this video is missing for me though is that my knives dont have a bevel at the apex, ive heard of reprofiling but im still not quite sure what I should be doing in my case.

@larryseibold4287 6 месяцев назад

This should be a RU-vid sticky, that comes up first when someone searches for "how to sharpen a knife by hand". Well done (technique and camera work).

@johnlawrence4352 6 месяцев назад

I have seen so many sharpening videos. This is the best one, the first one everyone should watch. It has the key important elements. It gives details on how that almost all miss, like how to maintain angle (most just say “practice”) or why it doesn’t require an afternoon of spare time to do it. You don’t get confusing by discussing angles that would reprofile the edge, don’t get into steels or stone types and don’t make it seem like a commercial. Just how to make the knife sharp with a stone. Really amazing that i haven’t seen a beginners guide this spot on without the tangents, fluff, or missing the little tricks that make the viewer say, oh that’s simple I can do that. Well done!

Practice a little everyday. Even 1 minute a day can build the muscle memory needed very quickly. Just focus on practicing correctly, and not enforcing bad habits by over practicing with the wrong technique or angles 🙂

Dude you are really good at this. No joke. Good camera work, good production, good scripting. I work with a channel that has around 400k subs and you’ve got a lot of things figured out that we’re still working on.

I keep coming back to this video while I'm learning how to sharpen. I've been practicing on my steak knives because I've got a lot of them and they're cheap to replace, before I get to my cooking knives, which are less cheap to replace and more individual.

@erikwitkowski 28 дней назад

Love your videos. I have found a way to use trigonometry as a guide to finding the right sharpening angle. The sine for 20 degrees is 0.2 and for 15 degrees is 0.15. Sine is opposite side over hypotenuse. Opposite is the distance from the blade to the whetstone and hypotenuse is the width of the blade. So if you’re shooting for a 20-degree angle, lift the blade 1/5 the width of the blade (hypotenuse * sine of the angle, which is 0.2).

I've recently discovered your channel, but it took me no longer than one video to become a sub.

@jons2447 6 месяцев назад

Thank you, Alex, for another great video. My technique is similar. I learned at an early age the key to freehand sharpening is a constant consistency. The edge must meet the sharpener at the same angle every stroke. And the other side has to be the same angle or very nearly so. I think that is the main thing to sharpening knives, axes, hatchets, even swords. Of course, swords are usually held still & the sharpener moved. I've used sword-sharpening on my Mora knives w/ very good results. But I have 3 DMTs, the Coarse, the Fine, & the Extra-Fine. I bought them mostly for sharpening plane irons but I will use them for knives, too. Keep up the great job, you are really getting good at this. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
