Can you do a video using pocket/portable sharpeners? The ones where you draw the blade through a channel to sharpen it, against 2 surfaces at opposing angles (15-20 degrees)

Back in 1962, I did a 4H Fair talk on, "How to sharpen a knife." I was 11 years old in the 4th grade. My interest in sharpening knives has never stopped (I'm now 72). Me and my knives have had a great life.

@rockguitarshred 5 часов назад

Thank you so much! My blade was getting duller from the cheap whetstones, I watched your video and bought a diamond stone and in one sitting my blade got deadly sharp! I can now enjoy a sharp blade and a passion to learn to be a better sharpener!🗡️

@lindboknifeandtool Год назад

You can also hang the spine on your fingernail and use your knuckles. This helps with longer blades for me. It’s an old knife grinders trick. It’s how you keep your angle when grinding generally. Until you grind the tip of your knuckle off with 36 grit ceramic belts 😂 Bam neeves knives

I gave up trying to sharpening knives freehand and bought an electric kitchen knife sharpener. Thanks to your video , now I know why I sucked sharpening freehand. I cheaply bought one of those Amazon aluminum oxide multi-grit stone sets and even 3D printed guides to use. Now, thanks to your clear and excellent instruction I will now purchase your recommended diamond stone and try again!

@evaderknives Год назад

I'll tell ya, after years of knifemaking, everything else gets "easier", but sharpening is still my nemesis hahaha... Hope all is well my friend.

@ZXLMaster 9 месяцев назад

From a really dull blade, I have 5 grades of Diamond stones, which range from 250 grit up to 4000 grit. Then there is leather with green compound, 50,000 grit, followed by stiff leather. My edges are a 12° to 17° bevel and are scary sharp.

I have that exact 1000/6000 stone. Sharpening wise, it sharpens just fine. What i don’t like about this stone is you end up with a lot of sludge like end waste to wash off.

@user-un5my5bw4j Год назад

Ive been free hand sharpening since I was 10yrs old. It's a skill passed down from father to son that has been going on since my lineage was in Hamburg Germany. I have many many stones for specific purposes and steel types. Your videos are closer to being spot on with what I do and teach than any videos online.

@Freakmaster480 7 месяцев назад

Specific stones for specific steels really aren't needed anymore. Diamond abrasives are cheap enough to be a go to for any steel and modern glass or ceramic stones are fine for all but the highest carbide steels. The advancement of technology is great.

@Healcraft 6 месяцев назад

@@Freakmaster480 but who sharpens the sharpener??!???????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

@basdejong1598 4 месяца назад

@@Freakmaster480 I've used my ceramic stones on all of my knifes. Most of them (from 1 to 2-day courses) are made of C80 steel, and they sharpen quite fast. However, my homemade knifes are made of 52100 (got about 100 ball bearings for free) and those take much longer to sharpen. Though I suppose it doesn't matter if you use special stones. That steel is really tough and requires a lot of work either way.

@a1038954 5 месяцев назад

The close ups are incredibly helpful to your cause.

@Heizenberg32 Год назад

Using the "rule of thumb", as you call it, has been very effective for me. I used to just eyeball the angle, but I found that the angle I was holding could drift significantly over time without me noticing. 15° vs 20° look almost the same to me at a glance. But that much can be the difference between a quick touch up, and essentially regrinding the edge

@RevPirateDan Год назад

I'm very much a novice (been doing it for years, but still don't feel like I'm yet past "novice") but I will make one suggestion that I find helps: use another colour other than black for the marker. I went to use one, couldn't find the black marker and had to "settle" for bright blue. SO MUCH EASIER TO SEE. I think really ANY colour other than black will help.

@AnalogWolf 6 месяцев назад

These are really well explained, detailed yet easy to follow instructions. I am getting more and more into cooking and find it hard to sharpen knives with a sharpening stick. I know a stone is the ideal way to go, but I find it a bit intimidating. Watching these videos and seeing some tips and tricks helps, and gives me confidence that I can try (which is the only real way to learn) without severely screwing something up. It'll take a while, but I have the starting points to begin my journey as we all had to when we picked up something for the first time.

@jaydub7386 Год назад

Very helpful video. Thank you.

@einundsiebenziger5488 10 дней назад

It's even more easy to keep a consistent angle when you place the whetstone in a line away from you not across also sharpening forward and backwards, not left and right.
