Making a Simple Knife Sharpener under 5$ 

So far best ever and cheapest and most simple made sharpener i have seen, bookmark'ed ! thanks

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ru-vid.comUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

That is sheer elegance in its simplicity.

El mas fácil de ejecutar de todos los MUCHOS que he visto. Gracias por su video.

I am writing to you from Chile, South America. Excellent work, very neat, functional and at the same time economical. As a contribution, I would install a magnet in the area where the knife rests. Congratulations!!!!

I have a Lansky sharpening kit. Same concept, but it's much smaller and packs away in a very small kit. I've used it for about 20 years.

great idea mate i love how you can change the sandpaper so easily

If you made several copies of the sandpaper holder (just that little part, not the whole jig), you could leave a different grade of sandpaper (60 grit, 200 grit, etc.) in each one, and you wouldn’t have to switch out the sandpaper pieces.

Excellent one. Thank you so much. Easy diy job

Very nice design and build,thanks for sharing all of your hard work

THIS IS IT, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Great work, bravo. I will try to make one for my knifes. Thank you for the idea.👍

we enjoyed with your sharpener its so easy & interesting & cheap best wishes

you're just an amazing talented artist!Respect!

Well done! Imade a similiar sharpener , set for twenty degrees, and the results are awesome. It's also fun.

if u flush ( counter sink) a rare earth magnet or two into the fixture, you can stabilize the knife a lot more than holding it with your hand just a suggestion otherwise i i really like the set up great job

Very nice!!! Awesome Project!!

Thanks a lot I made this with a small mod by adding a spring clamp to hold the knife leaving my hands free.

Great and simple, Thanks for sharing. I'll do one shortly.

not gonna lie to you... That was a great video, quick and to the point, and pretty decent video and editing skills, too. Great job man. I'm pretty impressed!!!

Super! lo haré en algún momento.

Good job brother...5 star and cheap..

That is really nice.

Looks great. I've been watching loads of vids and this one looks like the best for my needs. Thanks.

You could also make the log u have the knife on. Changeable and have different angles.

Amazing and a great idea. You always rock M.N. I love your projects. Keep it up buddy.

Nicely Done!

Great job !!! If you could move up & down the part that holds the knife it will allow different grinding angles for different kind of knives(blades) so you have 20% for each one. Thanks 4 sharing.

Fantastic work there, dude. Really useful! 😃

With 2500 dollars in tools you can make a 5 dollar knife sharpener....

Your belt sander is nice... Can you please make a video on your belt sander ? Your all projects are nice n accurate..

Nice tool and video. 😊

Real talented. Very good.

Awesome video!

20° per side? That's 40° inclusive. Good angle for an axe, not a knife. What are the measurements for the one you made? What should a second slot for 10 degrees be? The "about 20 degrees" measurement is good for my axe, so it would be useable for that. A second rod slot for 10 degrees (+ or - 2 degrees) is needed.

I like it!

whelp this maybe a weekend project for me have a handful of knives that are basically blunts

This is great ! It could be improved with a knife holder

Lavoro preciso e pulito bravo😉👍👏

Beautiful

I love it!!

would be great if there was like measurements on the screen or something i want to make one but i dont know any of your dimentions

Hey nice effort. Thus has given me encouragement to make one and try it . Thanks.

That's pretty handy, haha. Personally I prefer whetstones, but to fine down super blunt knives with lower numbered grades this could work wonders.

good afternoon! I really liked the video I would like to know the measures you have used. Thank you for your attention. I'm from Brazil

M.N notification always makes my day.

It would be more versatile if you'd made several holes for obtaining various edge angles depending on the type of your knives! Simplicity of the device stands for its PERFECTION.

Thanks, The best constraction

Perfect! All other complicated things is just unnecessarry...

zajebiście ;) przydatne. Te "firmowe " ostrzałki tego typu to koszt conajmniej 200 zł za kawałek plastiku i troche metalu.Przydałoby sie jeszcze ramie metalowe ze zmianą wysokości kąta ;)

Thanks man it helps to finish my project

Nice video, like it so much

Awesome! so simple :). I'll be attempting this!

Simply AWESOME!!!!

That was really helpful ❤❤❤

What you can’t sharpen a knife without spending 600 on a wicked edge! I use paper wheels ,very good video

Should of used bolts where you put the knife that way you can clamp it down

👍 nice job!! What would be the maximum blade lenght this jig can sharpen??

love your work nice keep goung bro

Very cool

Very cool

Puedes decirme donde encontrar el video completo?. Te felicito, me gusto mucho tu trabajo, pero, pareciera que en este video faltan pasos

Great, simple to build. Thanks for posting. Ideas on how to modify it so the angle can be adjusted or alternatively the user can choose between three or four different angles such as 17, 23 and 25 degrees would be appreciated.

This inspires me to make a version for 3D printer. How about a version, where wider sheet of sanding paper can be clamped and shifted over the active are, once worn off. Hm...

Great build and demo but. How do you calculate the angles though? This bit mashes my head! 🤣

Very Cool as always bro and keep up the awesome content Sir.

Nice, but it would be even better if you could change the angle

Awesome

Have you had any issues with the screw on pieces that hold the sandpaper hitting the blade? Maybe it would work better to hold them on the ends in line with the rod. No chance to catch the blade

I guess he already knew this but that belt sander IS used for knife sharpening all the time by knife builders.

Very nice

tu fais comment pour changer d'angle d'affutage vu que tous les couteaux n'ont pas le même angle d'affutage. MacGyver ?

Could you make the sand paper holder spring loaded, so you can easily change the paper over each time?

wow 😲👍

But you know that your approx. 20 degree is not constant above the full length? In direction of tip the blade gets shorter, means the angle is different..

Great project, just missing height adjustment. Cheers

Or, you know... just lay flat the sand paper and scrap the knife against it? 🤔

sounds about right ... if you dont count the other 3-400+ USD you need for the powertools 😂😂

You can give me the measure of the pieces of wood? and the measurements of the holes or else it will not give me the angle thanks mate

So perfect

It's very cool but what is the dimension of all ??? ( c'est vraiment cool mais quel sont les dimensions de la machine ?? )

Why not stick on 4 side, so you won't so busy to change the grit

What is that thing that you spray?? It looks fantastic!!

Do you have measurements or a template for that jig?

Deer- nuts are under a buck , nice $50 dollar knife sharpener video

good job

whare would I find a template?

Wow mate you have a very creative mind set love watching always educational.ps are you a carpenter??

Creative.... But why not just use a stone or steel ?

Under 5 bucks for material but you need machines worth 2000.... :-) Nice looking sharpener!

thank you looks interesting

Lots of HSS bits going into wood. Otherwise do you want to release the design plans?

looks great, can you add the dimensions

Wow

*"Making a Simple Knife Sharpener under $5, using $5000+ tools."* 😜

muy bueno ,

Muito bom imvento

Malzeme ve ölçüleri ni paylasırmısınız lütfen.

Great design but how do you know if it's actually 20° deg angle

I need like that!
