I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzread.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

I love cooking and the outdoors, also collect knives, so have become fairly adept at sharpening knives of various kinds - through trial and error, and some scratched up knives along the way. I really wish I watched this vid when I started out, it really covers the basics and concepts excellently - it would have saved me a ton of time and pain along the way. Plenty of sharpening vids out there, but this presents the basics very well and explains some of the key concepts and principles you need to know, without an hour lecture. Only thing I thought could do with is a strop section, as it usually my go to method for more frequent maintenance and used more than my stones. Highly recommended for those starting their sharpening journey, really will fast track your technique and process. 5 thumbs up SharpEdge!

To Sharp Edge: This is highly technical and more involved than I thought. Maybe this is the reason my scissors are not satisfyingly sharp: I had researched, watched other videos, believing the tools I have, would suffice. I wanted to get that razor-thin blade type of cut. Question: What do you think of those automatic belt sharpeners in the marketplace?

@SharpEdgeshop

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Eddy, we're glad to hear you liked our guide! I hope your scissors got the edge that they deserve! Belt sharpeners produce a lot of friction and heat during sharpening, so they are not the best choice for Japanese knives, as the chemical structure of the steel can change due to the heat which can make the knife more brittle. Water stones are better because water insulates the heat.

Thank you.

This knife sharpening video is simply the best,and most informative I've had the pleasure to watch! I have been sharpening my own knives in a similar fashion and those of friends for many years, and I have often watched many such videos on KZread. This video is by far the best and most informative ever. It is my opinion this is the best knife hand sharpening video on KZread You've even explained simply and in detail, what might look obvious to some. however, for some I'm sure many people don't realise these are a necessary and essential steps. (If somebody doesn't understand what I mean, then it's better that you play this video again and listen very carefully to the words.) I love your technique and your patience shows. You taught me some interesting and helpful nuances today. For that Luka and Cedo, I thank you sincerely. By the way, the accent of your voice man is so good tool. PS: I must admit though that like few other comments here, I found watching the knife running over his finger nail gave me an unpleasant sensation. So I tried it myself, and now I no longer get that sensation. Thanks again.

We've never cut through our nails, but you indeed got to be careful and apply almost no pressure..

I think they just love showing that burr test over and over! When I learned to sharpen a knife in boy scouts over 50 years ago we learned how to check sharpness by only resting the knife edge against a nail on an angle and seeing that it didn't slide off if it was sharp. We'd never thought of actually drawing the knife across our nail, that was creeping me out here!!

Thanks Jason! My baseball coach always said there are no stupid questions! ;) Unfortunately I cannot give you a concrete answer because it depends on so many factors (like the condition of the edge on your knife, which steel is it made of, how much pressure you apply, etc). I'd recommend that the number of strokes on each side should be equal. Do 20 strokes on one side, then 20 on the other, see the result (nail test), then repeat. It also depends on the granulation of the stone - with which stone did you start with? If the granulation is too high, you won't get very far..

Another important thing I would like to mention is a flattening stone to keep the water stone flat. Even if you (the one sharpening the knife) don’t think it’s recommended to do it always makes sure that the stone is always flat making the stone create a better edge and making the life of the stone that much longer. I have stones that cost anywhere from 26$ for a 1,000 grit up to 350$ for 30,000 grit. Even if your stones are cheap make sure you take care of them. To get a knife actually razor sharp you need an 8,000+ grit stone to pop the hair rather than pull it.
