Official simple Little Life video of: Making the ultimate Knife sharpener.
Here is a fixture I made for my Razor Sharp Edge Making System that makes incredibly consistent and razor sharp edges. I've always loved my razor sharp edge making system but I especially love this new set up. It takes away any inconsistency that came from sharpening free hand with this system.

About Simple Little Life:
This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

@mikenewman4078 5 лет назад

I'm pleased you posted this in its entirety. The significant step is switching the base of the grinder around. If anyone is tempted to reverse the motor electrically, don't even think about it. Your wheels will come off.

@RobWhittlestone 3 года назад

Excellent idea. I have currently marked off the body of the grinder motor with gradations in degrees - 0°, 15°, 22.5° and 25° so that I can do kitchen knives at 30° total angle and micro groove polished at 45° or outdoor knives at 45° with microgroove at 50°. I learned to use lathe and mill in tech school would love to do that again after 50 years! Today I start my welding course aged 65! All the best, Rob

@Simplelittlelife 7 лет назад

Thank you! I am going to do a follow up video showing exactly how it works, and I've already got a few changes I might make to the sharpener. I shot all the footage with me talking about it at the end but it was over 15 minutes all said and done so I just decided to scrap the end of the video. That way I can cover everything I want to in a little more detail on a separate video. Cheers!

Very awesome my friend! I could not figure out where you were going with the design until the very end when you were demo-ing it. Really great idea, and it looks like it works really well.

@Simplelittlelife 7 лет назад

Thanks buddy! I was wanting to build one of these ever since I got my paper wheels and finally decided I had to stop all other projects to do this little one. First few knives are very promising and super super consistent. Hopefully it proves as useful over the long haul it seems to be with the first few knives:)

@rdankers1138 7 лет назад

Very nice Jermey! Loved the idea. Careful when using an expensive 4flute to drill, it's usually best to pre-drill because the center of the end mill is not very good a cutting and evacuating chips.

@countryfresh2036 5 лет назад

You should make that and sell them I need a set up like that

@bigmc5706 Месяц назад

A brilliant idea has come from such a brilliant mind……….Well done Jeremy, you have given such a simple (excuse the pun) solution to us all in keeping a consistent angle when sharpening one’s knives using those Razor Sharp Wheels.

I was thinking of something like this. I have a Kme sharpene, but a really blunt kitchen knife can take a long time to sharpen. The worksharp belt sharpener is quite expensive, as are the tormek type wet grinders. What you made 7 years ago is pretty much what I had in mind.

@griffy85b 6 лет назад

I made a knife sharpening system almost identical to yours, except I'm using a Tormek sharpening jig to hold the knife. Except, I'm getting a lot of chatter and vibration when the knife is in the jig, but when I remove it from the jig and sharpen a knife by hand, there is no chatter. Did you have any issues like this? I'm using a very nice Dewalt grinder, that doesn't vibrate much at all. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

@blly8325 7 лет назад

@brucesannino6181 5 лет назад

Nice piece of work but as some others have mentioned, not everyone has a handy vertical milling machine, (or even a fancy drill press) a bunch of end mills and so on. But it's an excellent design. I'm giving a lot of thought to a simpler blade holding tool. My first thought is a small vice grip. Weld a rod to the end of the plier adjustment finger bolt and maybe a flat plate to each face of the plier jaws. Maybe a copper face on the vice grip jaw plates to protect the knife finish. Hmmmm it's a good idea.

I see you are a knife maker. do you know if using this wheel affects the temper of the steel, or create a large burr? I have a a few expensive knives & axes to sharpen. Cheers

@Tide12NC 5 лет назад

Not sure I understand the reason. I’ve been using this carbide sharpening system since I was about 15 as I helped my Granddad sell and sharpen knives. I’m now 44, and not sure what the jigs for? It’s fairly easy to free hand and put that type edge on it. Is it a safety piece? I could see that for sure, my Granddad has a knife close on his finger once, got him pretty good.
