Ruixin Pro RX-008 Knife Sharpener The Best Sharpener I've Used 

And the collar on the sliding bar it meant to be a stop so you can't slide the stone too far out and come off the end of them.

That sounded like a great idea at first... But thinking about it, the final angle will depend a lot on the width of the knife blade. In other words, with the vertical height set with one of your straws the stone will sit at a different angle on a narrow knife blade from a fatter one where the edge is much further out from the jaws of the clamp.

Sorry, but if width of the blade different, you gonna get wrong angle.

@@andyp926 In that case you could just have different straws per knife instead. You're typically not going to be changing the angle of a knife edge all that often, if ever, so you'd probably only need one per knife.

@@vladant2427 That's why he has cut different size lengths in his straws

or for £10 just buy an Angle Cube.

Couldn't you just move the clamp he has on the end of the horizontal rod inward to do that?

A good honing solution or oil depending on the stone type. It’s difficult to hear the grinding of a non-lubricated stone.

You are correct, the photo in the owner's manual definitely shows that clamp below the thumb knob and nothing on the top of the rod.

Hi John. My one seems to be ok still. I have seen those steel ball replacement parts on eBay. They look good. Regards Steve

Hi Thanks for watching. I'm pleased you like the review and the sharpener. I really like mine. I am buying another one for my Son. They are excellent. Regards Steve

It's not needed with diamond stones

Hi John, That makes sense about the collar. I will do that next time. Thanks. Regards Steve

Hi Thanks... yes maybe that's what it's for. Regards Steve

@@SteveJordan very good point Gavin

The independent collar stop on vertical rod (top of vertical rod in your video) can be placed under the angle adjustment stop to be used as a stone thickness adjuster. 1) Place independent collar stop between base wing-nut and bottom of angle adjustment stop. 2) Set angle with stone in place, then remove stone and hold sandwiched between two vertical rod collar stops, tighten lower collar stop to set. 3) When moving to different stone, loosen upper stop, place new stone between those two stops and tighten upper collar stop. Sharpening angle will then be set to what it was on initial stone. Move through progression of stones during sharpening and sharpening angle with be consistent, independent of varying thickness differences of stones. Leave bottom collar stop in original location untill starting a new sharpening progression. The diagram you showed near end of video illustrated that second vertical collar stop in location I have described, but maybe the manual does not explain how to use that second collar stop as a variable stone thickness adjuster adjuster. I do this same (variable stone thickness adjustment) in my Edge Pro using a simple drill bit collar stop addition. Currently all your stones may be the same thickness (plus/minus minimal varience), however at some point you will most likely have stones of varying thicknesses that you want to use during a sharpening progression. Regards,

Gavin is 100% right, it is the same backstop system used on many other sharpeners. I can just add that you should set the backstop to use all the length of the stone thus avoid uneven use of the stone (bowing).

Hi William, Thanks for watching. Regards Steve

Hi Frank, yes I thought I would get some things wrong, I always do. I had only just got it out of the box. I don't really use the stones that come with it as I prefer the titanium coated diamond sharpeners. I was just showing them. Thanks for the info though, I tend to let people like you do the corrections like you have here. I often get good information by reading the comments on other people's videos. Regards Steve

I know it’s not ideal, but you could tap some holes closer to the edge, suiting your requirements.

Sharpen about 6" at a time then reposition the remaining blade center of the vise.

You could clamp up the scissors attachment made by Hapstone. You can get them off gritomatic.

Details please..

Don't knock it....if it works it works!

I only review tools I buy for use in my workshop and for my hobbies. I don't do reviews on anything I don't use. Or anything that is inferior. If you don't like reviews just don't watch them.

@@tcarney57 iPhones are made in China. So many brands of laptops / or parts of computers are made in China. Try to imagine the guy who do not use any made in China goods.

@@woodlander9739 There is one guy that doesn't use any made in China goods, his name is Ted and he lives in Florence, Colorado.

😂...👍

That looks like it would work, particularly for pocket knives.

I was thinking the same thing. I find nearing the end of the sharpening process I like to flip the blade more and more to help get rid of the wire edge.

You are putting the blade in too far causing the blade to be canted

Could you replace all the screws that you have to use a wrench on with wingscrews, except for the screws that clamp the knife blade? The Ruixin Pro looks very rigid, which appears to do a very professional job..

I haven't done a video about sharpening knives yet?
