Obviously when you use thin ass news papers any knife will cut it. Try that with that dull knife on a normal piece of printer paper.

@xyl0z3n84

I can see how someone might think that, but it's incorrect. Printer paper is easier to cut than phonebook paper. There are several sharpening guides that'll touch on it, but the best way to illustrate it is to try it yourself. Take a piece of printer paper and attempt to make a push or pull cut. Then repeat on phone book paper. If there are ragged edges, it might be time to sharpen it. If the edges are clean, especially on phonebook paper, then congrats, your knife has a fairly keen edge. It's worth noting that the goal is not to tear paper, but to slice it. Hence why you want a clean cut instead of ragged edges. How printer paper is easier to cut is rendered even more obvious if you try this test with a dullish knife. Stay sharp.

My grandfather was in the textile industry all his life. He has some ceramic rods that were coated with a glaze very much like a modern coffee cup. Now dude, you talk about stupid sharp? If you couldn't shave with it, he wouldn't carry it. Those hones were so smooth, I mean you bled looking at his old CASE TRAPPERS! The thing I learned most from him is that if you keep a knife honed up, you sharpen far less. Sharpening is necessary but destructive. Honing and straightening an edge on a regular basis AFTER its been sharpened properly is the secret to super keen edges that last!

You can strop on raw, kraft (brown) cardboard, newsprint (not the shiny kind) while you're using the knife. Works very well for maintaining the edge between an occasional stone sharpening to 'adjust' the edge when needed. I've even used the bottom of a coffee cup, edge of a door window in a vehicle or a super smooth rock I've found. Light pressure and angle are key with any stropping IMO.

When you do the paper test, the sound and the finish cut of the paper is what you are looking for. While a butter knife will cut paper, it will leave a jagged edge and sound really rough. The quieter the blade goes through and the cleaner the finish cut is, the sharper your blade is. The test is still useful if you know what to look for

OUTDOORS55 Making Seceeet store cu]pboard for hiding knives and guns

Thanks a lot. You saved me a lot of money and time. It was very hard for me to find a good video on KZread on how to sharpen my Hair Clipper and trimmer blades. I had to read a couple of articles i found on Google to get the right idea and even went as far as watching a Japanese man on their expensive stones.

I just started sharpening my knives, and love watching how too's videos, After a month of research I've come to the conclusion the best way for an amateur like me to sharpen a knife, is lansky system, a small clamp, 1000 grit wetstone and a strop in order to get your knife from from flat to paper curl sharp. Once the angle is establish, it's a lot easier to maintain the sharpness with a sharpening stone.

The angle on which to sharpen the knife depends also of the intended use of the knife. Knife intended for cutting meat has a different edge than a knife intended for wood. The method shown how to find the angle of a particular knife is good, but if you want to make the knife excel in a specified role, you have to take the angle into account. Also the angle matters when you think of how well the knife will hold the edge: shallower angle tends to lose the sharpness faster, requiring more honing during use, while steeper one holds the sharpness better, but isn't as cutting as the other. All comes down to consistency: the more consistent the sharpening is across the blade, the better the overall sharpening is. Coarser stone creates the edge, smoother ones just hone it up to stropping, which is just polishing the edge and removing the last remains of the burr.

I got some major ASMR when he first sharpened the knives.

Finally someone did a budget sharpening guide. I just want to thank you for making this video.

I don't see how these three stones for 25 dollars are a better deal than "expensive" stones that will give you over 5x the thickness and nearly 3x the area with which to sharpen. Everything for it's purpose. If you're sharpening SV30 from Spyderco on their tiny EDC knives this will certainly do. If you want to sharpen a cheap Farberware chef knife with Molybdenum to shaving sharp you'll likely want a bigger stone. Most things in my experience can shave if properly bevel'd and stropped, even a Farberware 9" Chef knife. Also the paper test is much less about the ability to destroy paper and more about the sound of the blade pushcutting through it. Most people with some experience could immediately hear lack of sharpness on that blade when you sliced through it. Some people use softer papers, like a papertowel or kleenex, to get a better test of sharpness. Cutting rolled cloth, denim, or sponge is another valid test. Most of those tests exceed what anyone realistically needs for EDC or even food prep usage. Not trying to hate on you or your videos; I've watched a lot of them and enjoyed nearly all of them. This video though has a point/message to it that I mostly disagree with. You can get cheap amazon whetstones for 11-23 bucks a piece to learn on that will get things shaving sharp. A cheap 200-600/1000-2000 grit with a strop is certainly all anyone needs I just wouldn't trust grit ratings past 3-4k at that pricepoint.

For the two major knives I use in my kitchen, a santoku and a pairing knife, I instinctively go to my stones... It's so ingrained into my muscle memory that it's on par with cleaning dishes (meaning, doesn't take long) to do. However if I am going to do my pocket or hunting knives I instantly go to my Edge Pro and take the time to just get the job done. Great video, just giving my thoughts.

Yep it's all up to what the user wants and or needs. I just try to keep it simple as it can be overwhelming to someone new to sharpening. The whole "sharpening" thing can be taken to crazy lengths. Far to complicated for a simpleton like me😉 Haha. Sometimes I will spend the time sharpening to 8000 or higher. Only thing is after I'm done I don't want to use it, and ruin my nice work...most of the time I'm happy with a 600-1000 grit edge. Thanks for the comment 👍

When it can cut it without making a sound ok. I have a different technique for sharpening. Actually a micro polished edge. Very hard ceramic. If that knife is sharp enough for you that is ok. But not for me.

Exactly the same way my grandfather taught me. And reminded me people have been sharpening knives for a long time with low tech and great results. Keep it simple stupid is usually the best way to get though the day

Okay, so I did buy a Wicked Edge Propack II system, and it's the absolute best system I've ever used, bar none. I have been sharpening all my life from hand sharpening to many different systems, and I'm 52 this year. Having said that, I've recently begun stopping my blades exactly as described here , and the edge is phenomenally sharp. I can take a piece of copy paper, fold in half with a crisp crease, open it up about halfway to where it will stand up by itself. I can then take my freshly stropped blade and cut down the middle of the crease, without holding the paper at all.... that is scary sharp

It's ok for pocket knife or tools, but you don't want to use those stones in straight razor or a 300 kitchen knife, you will achieve a poor result on a forge Damascus carbon steel knife or razor with 62+ Rockwell.

I can sharpen m390 no problem. These are quality stones made by edge pro. They are just small and cheap compared to full sized stones. with proper technique and a quality stone steel hardness doesn't matter. It just takes longer to sharpen a harder steel. A lot of professional knife sharpeners use the edge pro system with these stones. Technique stays the same no matter the stone size. Thanks for watching 👍

cheap waterstones! These are $35 on up and will probably last longer since they are very hard. They also have a lot of surface area to help speed up the sharpening process as well as make it a bit easier for beginners. When i started sharpening, little stones would make my insides twist. I like some space between my knuckles and the table when i use a stone, and I don't mind forking out a bit of money for a quality stone. That being said i would keep away from king, but they are very thick and EXTREMELY budget friendly anywhere from $12 - $80 for a full sized stone.

VanCleff007 よばに what a pointless comment..

Waterstone or some kind of Slate alike could sharpen any knife to super sharp. 1st time sharpening usually need 1 to 2 hours, subsequent sharpening 30 to 45 minutes. Persistence, direction, angle, and constant cold water flows creates super sharp blade add a little heart and soul it create a signature work. Some years ago I worked manually sharpening blade and considered best among piers. Myself and some others senior co-worker could recognize my work viewing or feeling the sharpness by touching the belly of blade.

Holy Moly, This works !!!
