Hey Jared, I just wanted to ask you, what do you put on your sharpening stones? Is that just water because my stones just absorb all of the water so I didn’t know if you used anything special

@NeevesKnives

@@Willtombo10 no, I personally use soapy water, a mix of dish soap and water on these specific stones. You can use just water but a mix works better, but it depends on your stones and what kind they are, you might have stones that need to be soaked, or they should be used with oil. These are splash n go so they are not like yours, do you know what stones you have

@@mr.unstoppable8593 d2 should have more edge retention if it's heat treated well, but many production companies don't doit at its peak potential so it can be all over the board with edge retention, sometimes similar but usually better that aus10, and but it's not as stainless as aus10, and aus10 will be alot easier to sharpen than d2 as far as time on the stone goes

I wish I was half that good at using stones. I don't have the patience and because of that, the skills. But since getting my Work Sharp Precision Adjust, I can sharpen like a pro and get a seriously razor sharp edge!!! 🔪🔪🔪 With the aftermarket stuff from Etsy, like the brace for the clamp so it doesn't budge, the angle spacers so my angle NEVER changes, and a few other things, it's a ridiculously awesome sharpening system, especially for the price!!! But I LOVE watching you sharpen with stones. Seems very "zen-like" to me!!! Thanks a ton for all of your videos too 😎👍🔪

I love that when you get it sharpened to where it needs to be you can feel it just gliding over the stone 👌🏼

That's an awesome little knife.... I like it. 😁

I'm trying to get some I can only get small ones atm, I linked other diamond plates in the top comment, and description

But where can I get the stones

AUS10 is an awesome steel, at least in my Cold Steel ẞpartan it is. I can practice for 45 minutes on a dead standing tree with powerful thrusts and slicing chops, and the strop it on the same tree and cut junk mail clean in half when I get home. I believe a lot of the quality of steel's is dependent on the tempering and hardening processes. Because Ive noticed big differences between manufacturers using the same or similar steels. I know this much, the Cold Steel Spartan is an ultimate pocket folding fighting knife. I got others such as the Counterpoint, the Luzon=(unsafe POS), and a variety of kerambits and others, both fixed and folding, and the Spartan is more powerful and has the same effective range as my much longer blade CounterPoint. Both of those are AUS10.

Are these whetstones? Or colored diamond stones? What’s the make, please. Thanks (edit: I’m a dumbass, nevermind….)

It looks/hears like you push hard on the stone… from a scale from 1 to 10, 10= massive pressure on the edge , how much pressure do you put on your knife when sharpening?

@MrTuffCookies

2 жыл бұрын

Best answer is going to basically be “it depends.” But you never want more than like… idk maybe like a 4 or 5ish…? At very very most… if that. Probably more like 3. But even then, it depends how dull the knife is. You really want the stone to do the work, though. But you’ll apply a bit more pressure earlier in your sharpening on each stone and then less and less as you refine the edge. Then when you switch to the next stone, you might want to go back to applying just a bit more pressure again and then less and less as you refine the edge more. So it’d prob be more like starting with maybe a 2 pressure, then down to 1.5, then 1, then .5 and then basically like the weight of the knife or feather weight. The idea is basically to set your edge up for work on the next stone, which will be significantly higher grit. So you want to end with very light single strokes on each side to get it as keen and clean as you possibly can before moving onto the next stone. Because you want to make the work on the next stone as easy as possible, since you really want the stone to do the work, more than you leaning into it. If you have to like… put your body weight into it… lol then you either need a much coarser stone, or just a new knife haha. Pro tip: if you’re on a higher-ish grit stone and kinda feather-weighting it, you can actually feel the resistance change a little when the edge mates up to the stone and you hit the right angle. Typically works best starting with at least like 800-1000ish grit.
