Evening... I have a feeling that besides taking a great deal of pride in your good work, you also love how pleased your customers are. Going the "Extra Mile" is the way I've always worked too, no matter the task at hand. You've got such a nice set-up there, and a great shop. I've been enjoying these, thanks - and take care...

P.S. I own the TSPROF "Master Kit," but haven't had a great deal of time learning/working with it. I recently acquired a Union Mansfield and Lamb light cavalry sabre, I don't intend to sharpen it of course, but I sure would like access to your buffing rigs, as the blade has some light surface rust, but is otherwise in beautiful condition and I'd like to bring the mirror finish back up. Going to try some Flitz, conservatively. Then to work on the slightly more surface rusted steel scabbard with some different grades of Scotch Brite pads and a gel rust remediator. Going to be a fun project! Looking forward to watching your TSPROF tutorials, it is an incredibly well engineered & manufactured machine...

I have been sharpening knives using a Real Sharp 1x30 horizontal sharpener. Motor died last week but Real Sharp is out of business so I have been looking for another machine. I have a Tormek but haven't used it much because it's so time consuming. After watching your videos for the last week I have a good idea of what I need to do. I really enjoy your videos and will join the Guild sometime next year.

I noticed on the beginning of your video around 1:37 where the knife in your right hand had be damaged by this other vendor, you could see in the shiny reflection where they had gouged into the knife edge profile then polishing over it, poor business performance people are so driven on cost of service that we constantly overlook things like quality and professional service and I include myself in this category sometimes. I enjoy your videos and like they say on NCIS New Orleans "Go learn things".

I've used buffing wheels with compound and I agree with you, they are pretty dangerous. You have to grab the knife with two hands and make sure you don't catch the edge. I've caught the edge once and took out 1/4 of the buffing wheel. It's easy to do. But the buffing wheel alone can take out a lot of scratches and look like factory new.

I have used just water but my favorite is Lysol Surface Cleaner it works really great doesn’t make suds or foam and also keeps the radial disk clean. It’s yellow and you just mix it with water smells like lemons 🍋 and I get it as concentrate from Costco but just about every place sells it.

In most places it's a very good side job or service to own and can be full time as well. The sharpening industry is huge and there are many ways to get into it and areas you can specialize or be a general sharpener and same can be said for commercial sharpening has lots of room for new businesses that would be things like saw blades for construction and builders not that many companies that do it.

Love your set up and everything you’re teaching! Now that that was said, I need to ask a question a.k.a. the elephant in the room. LMFAO why would anyone pay to have someone refinish a set of good cook knives😬🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👎👎👎👎😂😂 I mean even if they were passed down it still makes zero sense considering those knives are around $10 each. Let’s be real I have more expensive cooking camping knives that I just throw away after a few time camping lol. I spend more on utility blades for my work.😂
@ALXSHARPEN
@ALXSHARPEN 2 месяца назад
The reason run the gamut some are environment conscious people. Some like old things, some its nostalgia , Many just really like their old knives and don’t want new. Some of those old knives in all honesty are better than some new. I like old Chicago Cutlery blades with wood handles made with Japanese steel far more the a new set of inexpensive Henkel knives made today.
