    After a year of practice (and over-collecting), I can get the angle and I can get the edge sharp. What I have found, sharpening friends' knives for practice (usually those are so bad they stopped using them), is that a stone is used to get the bevels straight and even (check to be sure the blade is straight, and that there are no concave areas to the edge - a lot of knives are more at "repair" than at "sharpening"). With clean and even bevels, the knife will be sharp, but 8k Kitayama and a strop will get it really sharp. For a knife in good condition, you use a stone to tidy up bevels to the point where it does not scratch a strop. You want it to glide smoothly and evenly over the leather. That's not very much stone work at all! If you learn to treat a knife properly, a strop once a week will keep it sharp enough to bring you satisfaction in its use. Also, I found that diamond compounds, spray or rub, leave scratch patterns (I have a USB microscope), but a clean strop will eventually (over weeks) smooth those out to a polish. Really, at that stage, you get into territory I'm still unfamiliar with, like "competition sharpness" that really is not necessary for kitchen use, but is a joy if you want beautifully clean slices - and how to use a knife is new territory for me, too, e.g. finding the right angle for a slice, and balancing pressure with length of stroke. It really is fun for small slices to just barely rest the knife on the meat or whatever, and draw it towards you, and see it slice right through! Mind your fingers!! I think a good rule of thumb for knife use is to use little pressure. For heavy cuts like winter squash, get the right knife, like a cleaver. There's a lot to proper tools and method for each job.

    @handr0 ----- [Edit added: I picked up almost all of what I know about sharpening from this channel, Burrfection. Another good video is kzread.info/dash/bejne/qpinw81-kcmsgrg.html . Steel and heat treatment does make a difference, hard steel does chip, but for sharpening and maintaining knives, Ryky gives the most extensive and effective tutorials, and you do get to a point where you begin to take it on your own.] Hope you got something out of my comment. I'm just a hobbyist who likes to try to contribute to the art. I like to see happy people. A USB microscope is a useful gadget. You can get 200x with a Celestron ($100 bucks), and that's good enough, I think. If you look at factory finish knives, you can see very clear scratch marks. Some people say they like a toothy edge, but you can get those edges to a polish. Manufacturers don't ship knives as sharp as they can be, probably because they know that in use, they won't stay that sharp very long (edges are fragile). A scalpel is sharp, but I read that a surgeon may use several identical scalpel blades during one operation - they are that fragile, and "dull" that quickly. A good, solid, useful kitchen knife, like Ryky says, is obtainable with a 1000 grit, and that's higher than factory finish grit. Be careful. Most people have never used a really sharp knife (including me). There's some young guy with a channel mostly about making knives out of - catch this - chocolate, sea water, cardboard, milk, bismuth and more. He did a video "sharpening a $1 dollar knife with a $300 dollar stone" (I think that's the title). Towards the end, he lays a Kleenex over the edge, blows on it, and gets a two inch long slice. I can get a one inch slice ($40 dollar knife), and I use that "tissue test" as a kind of standard for mine. I'm proud of myself, for that! (It does make a difference how you blow on it, btw. A bit of practice at that, too, heh heh.) But that edge does require delicate use and care, or it loses sharpness quickly. On a good knife, it should last at least a week or two before refreshing, and imo, is worth learning, especially for trimming roasts before grilling. As some witty girl at Cutlery and More said, "Happy chopping!" I like their Nexus knives.

    getting a cheap knife to practice is a good idea, just keep in mind that most cheap knives are made of cheap steel.. and sharpening cheap steel can be quite a bit more difficult, so if you are having problems getting a good edge, it may be because of the cheap steel and not because your technique is bad

    Perhaps not a dollar store knife ha but this channel has older videos showing some of the better $20 knives out there. The steel would be good enough to practice with whereas a super cheap knife very easily could make your technique worse. There are a lot of quality stones out there to buy that would last for a very long time and not break the bank. Suehiro Cerax 1k would be my recommendation but there are many others. The Cerax is a soaking stone, its very forgiving, and you can get a remarkably sharp edge off just the 1k.

    I really appreciate the detail you go into. With my understanding of the "science of sharpness" removing the burr on the wetstone vs on the block of wood the wetstone will retain the hardness of the edge vs the wood that will soften it slightly (remove vs bend). I never really understood the real use of the much higher grit until I heard you describe it as a polishing stone (background in more pocket knife and axe sharpening) it makes sense that it would have an impact even if it is more in feel than function

    Cant thank you enough for changing my perspective on knives. Have a small collection of Henckels from long ago and have collected many folding and hunting knives over the years (Benchmade, ZT, Micro tech, Maserin, Randal, R Bone etc). I became interested in knife steel and have really enjoyed learning about it. Was sharpening with a Work Sharp system that I liked but then saw one of your videos. Now I'm obsessed in another whole world. Chef knives are a totally different ball game from pocket and hunting knives. Much to my wife's chagrin, I bought a Naniwa Chosera 800 and 3000 and one of your buffalo strops and have been having a blast learning to sharpen and hone. I just started a new collection with a Miyabi Birchwood Nakiri and plan to keep purchasing fine chefs knives. I will soon give away my Henckels and just have Japanese knives in this collection. Can't thank you enough for the new inspiration and learning. Japanese steel is another whole world and philosophy that I am learning to love. Thanks so much Ryky, for your information and entertainment. I love your store and your videos. Keep up the good work. Gratz on the upcoming new space.

    Agree 100%. I've sharpened a few knives in my life but was never real good at it. Used a Lansky kit b/c it gave a reasonable edge and it was stupid simple. Heh - now I just received the King KDS combo stones (comes in below the spousal "you just spent $XX on what and why?" threshold. :-). If I get good enough maybe someday I'll step up to the Naniwa. Ryky - one thing I would love to see would be a video on sharpening smaller knives (paring and utility or possibly non-kitchen knives) especially those that have some aspects that are problematic, like a ricasso that extends down to the heel or a bolster that's just in the way. How do you adjust for those?

    Mate, that’s the best sharpening video I’ve ever watched, and trust me I’m on here endlessly! Your logic aligns so near mine, I noticed when you were deburing, my natural way as a complete novice, it makes so much sense, pull them away under the blade and leave the cutting edge clean, not the opposite direction and push them onto the other side of the blade. Im getting near to retirement here in England, I’ve always been a jack of all trades, but master of none in my career, now it might sound weird, but when I retire one of my hobbies will be sharpening knives, hold on, for a good reason, my other dream is to become a far better cook, and the two work in hand. Cooking is easy, those that eat are your judge, honing knives, well it has to be spot on mate, only the worked result and the cutting edge is your judge. Really big thanks to you mate, I’ll check out your other videos and I hope the move went ok, it looked a bit concerning at the end, like things were not so well? Hope your ok now mate, and again thanks and love your technique! Many thanks 😊

I was doing that and I managed to get really sharp knives as well, but it took forever. With your tip I sharpened and deburred on a 1000 grit stone, and then went to the polishing stones, which led to an even sharper knife I believe. I can´t really compare both methods as they are two different knives and one I sharpened at my parents but I´m really happy with the result I got! Thank you so much.

    Hi! Swede guy here. Just found your channel and i am so happy for it. You seem to be a genuine and trustworthy person. You got a new subscriber. Btw - i have The Global SAI series at home. I have been trying to Sharpeville them with wetstones. I probably suck because i can never reach that razor blade awesome level thingy.

I'll will start to learn sharpening with my 15 year old 20cm Wüsthof - Chef Knife! I'm really excited for this! Thank you for all your videos and good luck with that new Studio!! :) - Greetings from Germany!

    Good to know that the push-n-pull is a actual method. I was always taught to never sharpen a knife that way, I was taught to do the heel-toe method and that push-n-pull would damage the knife (which you seem to explain in the video) thanks for making this video! I'm just learning to sharpen knives, as I'm about to some actual decent knives. Up to the point I've always bought the super cheap knives and just replaced them after a few months, but I've found I really like this knife I bought from Daiso (a Asian dollar store I found in a mall) this dollar knife is surprisingly comfortable to use and I find I would like to save it if I could... Even though it's a $1 knife and the blade is badly damaged at this point .. worse case it'll be a learning experience for sharpening! I'm ordering some $50-$100 knives and I'm wanting to take care of them properly, as I know food knives last a lifetime. My dad has had one knife for 30 years now.

    Hey Ryky! Love your channel and fair reviews of products. Recently bought the Yaxell Super Gou SG2 6" Chef's knife for basic kitchen uses after watching your Yaxell related videos and couldn't be happier. Just would like to say "Thank You." I plan on eventually getting a whetstone or glass stone sharpening system for edge maintenance (when it will eventually need it) If you ever come across an old knife in need of restoration or one that you would like to part with, I ask that you please keep me in mind; as I love to restore old and turn into "like new" conditions. Thanks again!

She has asked me a number of times to sharpen her knives. I have tried a number of times but have not had much luck. After viewing your video I feel I might have a better chance now. So thank you and good luck in your move.
