That was one of the best lessons in serrated knife sharpening. Thank you.

I love that technique with the Dremel, I've always clamped my blade and freestyled the Dremel and struggled with consistency. Thanks Cliff!

Another excellent video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for the video. I appreciate that you show different methods of sharpening including the budget method.

My pleasure! We now have a full line of diamond wheels available to do this type of work at shop.currycustomcutlery.com

This is fantastic. I always put off the serrated knives until the bitter end. With they dremil they come out ok or should I say a low C. I'll be spending any extra change on the sewing machine motor and the wheel. Really looking forward to upping my game. Thanks for all your help!!

Thanks Cliff, your videos are always well presented…I’m like many who are just learning now to do this….

Great to see you doing videos again! Very nice of you to share the way you do! Great content! Thank you!

Very welcome, happy to share what I know. Still learning as I go but when its good I think its worth sharing for sure!

Really interested in seeing you method for hawk bill knives!

Gotta say, those Dremel diamond products are incredibly good quality. My oldest is the small diamond disc. Itś at least 15 years old and I don*t feel replacing it yet. Used it for absolutely everything, including spring steel.

Gonna enjoy your weekly teaching's, learning alot.

best source I have is jadecarver.com look for a 6" 1/2" width in 100 or 200 grit. Im using 200 and its settled down almost too much

Your videos give us lot of stuff to work on.

Where can you purchase a diamond wheel or what do you look for? Love your videos also

Hey Cliff, I’m going to ask if the 120 grit convex wheel from jade carver ok for serrations? They’re still out of 220grit.

Thanks for the video. Just bought some belts from you. How about another vid showing how you sharpen serrated steak knives?

I would love to have that sharpning tool

Yes I am really impressed with your tutorial. One question though, what is the grit of the 6X1/2 inch diamond wheel and what insert do you use to accomodate this motor? Thank you!

Thank you for your time and efforts to put out this video. I see you performing many processes where your able to maintain angle by hand. I see that as a talent / developed skill not all of us have. I wonder if the manufactures of the guided angle sharpening systems have diamond rods that click in just like the flat diamond / stones for rookies like me can maintain a constant repeated angle.

Just curious, what is the manufacture and specs on the Scotch bright wheel motor? Noticed it had two arbors, could you put a diamond wheel on one side and the Scotch bright on the other?

I've used stone files / slipstones. Since I'm used to sharpening saws, I concentrate on getting the leading edge (i.e. rearmost portion of the scallop) sharp. Certainly the results are better than the factory edge, but it this the right approach?

Where can I buy that round sharpening wheel from?

What adapter is needed for that wheel?

Cliff, thanks for the great info! I just ordered your HF Wheel Upgrade kit and some belts. Do you sell the scotchbright 6in grinding wheels? If not could you point me to a link? Thanks! You helped me get into sharpening with your videos 4 years ago. I love it! And now am planning to take it small scale commercial. 😊

Man I hate serrated edges - primarily because of my lack of ability to maintain them. But you can't argue with how they bite... That blade looks gnarly, wouldn't want to tangle with that!

Impressive. Seeing you do it inspires me to get a couple of tools and learn some new techniques. Thanks The only thing I find a bit scary is having the sharp edge of the blade towards the belt. I destroyed a set of shears doing that.. Developing that 'touch' to prevent that can only be learned by experience. LOL, I don't want pieces of metal flying across the room ever again.

The serration machine is safe and edge trailing. For some knives I go edge leading but only with the angle guide(see video).

Great tutorial. I was thinking that the wheels used for sharpening chain saws - not diamond - can be shaped to fit various serrations widths and depths.

Hi Cliff, wondering if you can provide some specs on the motor and controller you used for this tool. Motor HP rating, RPM, arbor size, AC or DC?

The final edge stropping of a straight razor is its own master class. Ive worked in that area but dont feel qualified to say for sure. My gut would be final strop should be on hanging leather strop with CrO2 or THIERS ISSARD.

What are the specs on the scotch brite wheel? I just picked up a low speed grinder and ordered the diamond wheel.

What a terrible harmony in your grinding methode! You can use an elastic rod beneath the grinding wheel to keep/hold the interval of the teeth! Normally it is not necessary to grind the whole 'valleys', beause only the peaks are dull. In most cases the 'shark'-teeth make you feel an unkomfortable Cut through bread!
