And there's different types of loppers too (bypass or anvil) depending on what exactly you're cutting. And if your anvil loppers won't cut through it...well that's what saws are for. It's a bit like complaing that your screwdriver is rubbish at banging nails into planks of wood. Of course it is...that's not what it's for.

    Knife steels aren’t for sharpening. They’re for honing. If you know how to do it well, and do it regularly, it keeps edges straight, not sharp. For the uninitiated, sharpening removes metal, and honing will true up the very tip of an edge that is prone to folding over.

    @@josesepulveda634 The knife steel for example: The idea that you use it tosharpen your knife is a misconception. Your knife will have a sharp edge. This edge can dull, break, or bend. When the edge breaks, all you can do is grind down the knife to where it becomes even again and then resharpen it. If the edge is dull you just resharpen it (for example by using a whetstone to grind away material to make the edge sharp again). But when the edge bends, you don't want to grind that away, you ideally want to bend it back, and as soon as possible so the edge doesn't bend any further during cutting. That's what this steel is for: When you slide the knife across it (in the right manner) it catches all the little bends and bends them back. Trying to sharpen a knife with it will be as successfull as trying to chop down a tree with a hammer. Doesn't mean it's bad tool, just that someone has no idea how to use it and what for.

    In a tool sense the knife steel may not hold much value, but in a kitchen it is used to hone the blade before every use. it straitens the steel and knocks of any imperfections, it does not "sharpen" because it does not take off any material. Its function is actually very similar to that of leather strop, and in fact can actually be used as a replacement for a strop if necessary.

    Good old misconceptions on the butcher's steel... lets clear some up: 1) Butcher's steels don't hone (unless they're ceramic or diamond coated) they burnish. Honing is an abrasive process, burnishing is not. 2) Most cheap butcher's steels are useless because they are either too soft (chrome plated instead of hard chrome plated) or too coarse (most professional butcher's steels have very shallow grooves that are only slightly grabby; some are even polished) or both. 3) Butcher's steels work best with blades that are not very hard, viz butcher's knives and low end to mid range kitchen knives. Using a butcher's steel on a very hard blade might cause chipping of the edge (a very hard blade might even catch on / slightly cut into the surface of a cheap butcher's steel that's too soft). 4) Butcher's steels can be used to touch up a knife that has lost its bite, but it won't bring back a completely dull edge. 5) Using a butcher's steel will work harden the edge (like bending a palerclip to and fro), so it cannot be touched up indefinitly. At some point you'll need to grind a new edge removing the stressed steel.

    Great points. Most modern kitchen knives (I am assuming decent quality here) have steel that is hard enough and tough enough that using a butcher's steel is a waste of time, better to properly sharpen and strop the blade. Like the Yankee screwdriver they are a thing that was once necessary, but modern materials have made them redundant for 99.99% of people.

    My understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, was that a butcher's steel does not "sharpen" a blade it only re-aligns the edge. With normal use the fine razor's edge on many kitchen knives can roll over, on a microscopic level, seeming dull and the steel corrects this. But over time and/or with neglect material on the edge will ware away and no amount of honing with a steel can bring back the edge, because it's no longer there. That's when it's time to sharpen the blade via a subtractive process by grinding or using a wet stone, removing material but leaving behind a new razor's edge. That's why chefs will use the butcher's steel every time they bust out their knife, or every 10-15 minutes of use if using the knife for an extended period of time.

    You don't "sharpen" a knife with a knife steel. You uncurl the edge. Has always worked for me. I mean, it only works to some extent. If the knife is dull it's dull but if you just sharpened it and hit the cutting board a few times and it got dull(er) you flick out the knife steel and have a few go arounds and you can cut tomatoes again :)

  • @Howtard

    Just so you know, you should use your steel to stop that curl from ever forming. Once it curls like that a knife won't be as sharp again until the edge has been ground away (which is job better left to stones and grinding wheels) If you use your steel right your knives will stay very sharp. Incoming unwarranted tip: Every now and then, before or after use, carefully place the blade of your knife horizontally across the back of a fingernail and drag your nail perpendicular to the direction of the blade in both directions; If you feel the edge catch or drag in one direction more than the other then that means that side is beginning to curl and you should use your steel on that side.

    Facey Neck most knives are cut out of a stainless steel blank, which is hard but they arent quenched and tempered - which is done to forged blades and makes them much harder. Forging is long and complicated so the only bades you would find that are hardened are hand-made ones or the more expensive knives. One way to check is to use a metal working file to try and scratch it. If it doesn't catch on the metal, slides without much resistance and doesn't leave a scratch mark then it is hardened steel

    To be fair those things are useless. They don't give the edge a proper angle and if you go in and sharpen a companies knives to say 17 degrees each side then a week later the chef has ruined that 17 degree angle with the steel and instead of just touching up each blade you have to regrind the angle. Gives the guy more work, the knives less of a lifespan and is a waste of the chefs time... Overall, a pretty good reason to chuck-em

I've owned three of them that I could cut into with the knives they came with. If they are designing them expecting you to move the edge of the blade without removing metal then they've designed them to be virtually useless. How many times can you expect to do that without breaking that edge off? 1? ...2 maybe? I don't know if that's what you mean when you say "bring the edge of the blade back into alignment and straighten it out" but your words lead me to that conclusion. I have seen one or two of these that cut through the metal of the knife and they were very useful to have in the kitchen. Of course, this guy keeps one in his tool box so ...go figure.

    todd coles Its not for sharpening or honing. It's for stropping. Before a sharp blade dulls, the fine edge curls over. You are supposed to twist the steel slightly while pulling the blade toward you at a slight angle and pulling the blade away from the steel. This removes the curled edge and helps keep the blade sharp. You can do the same thing with a leather strop like the Barbers used to do with a straight razor. Unfortunately the art of sharpening a knife has gone away with hard stainless steel that takes a diamond wheel to cut it. Now days, I just buy me a good Gerber and get a new one every 10 or 15 years when it gets dull.

These are items you have to spend quality money on to get quality results. Your other three items are from 80's, of course time shave changed. Also the loppers work very well if you use them for their specified purposes.

    Some of these things have limitations like the multisocket but good in a pinch sometimes for odd shaped fasteners. Stud finders work fine for me, if you're not using them not sure how you're locating studs. Hopes and prayers? Also handy when you're not familiar with a house and how it's constructed. Went to place a flush mount inset tp holder in someone's bathroom, only one wall next to the toilet. No matter where I placed the stud finder around the most typical mount location it kept indicating an obstruction. A rather wide one (much wider than a stud) and vertical as well. Unsure of what was in the interior wall I cut carefully into the drywall, discovered there was a heating duct right there where I didn't expect to find one. Had I just pitched it thinking 'this thing doesn't work' I'd have slammed right into the duct and cut it all to hell. Gotta be smarter than the tool sometimes.

Almost to the point that i lost respect for you and nearly unsubbed. But i can agree that one who do not know how to use it, may end up destroying the edge. But still its, as important as a knife. So learn how to use it, and use it after every time you cut something with your knife. It will keept the edge sharp for a long time, i re sharpen my knives only once a year!

    I love your honesty and logical views on everything I have seen of your channel. With that being said, the "Knife Steel" is not intended to sharpen a knife, but to straighten the burr of the blade that through normal use, will develop making the blade seem dull. Sadly, the newer "steel's" are of poor quality, often doing more damage than help, and in our age of disposable products, people have no proper skill in their use. It is a usable tool to extend the effective use of a knife between sharpenings. Think of it as the ceramic side of most pocket sized sharpeners...

It is another step in a big process not its own thing. On its own 3D printing is practically useless, but making an exact replica out of wax or easily melted material means you won't have to sit down and carve a wax model in order to make a mould for casting.

    It was as if fate was trying to teach him a lesson; they actually work when you want them to (and especially when you don't want them to). Most of these tools have (or had) their place, otherwise they wouldn't have been so popular. One of the reasons our tools don't change very much over the years, is because most people don't give them a fair chance. Despite clear instructions, they usually use them wrong, and only once, then declaring, "it doesn't work," instead of giving it a fair chance.
