    Very interesting I do like your style of sharpening. I also do a sweep motion just not back and forth. I will have to try that see if I can get a similar edge like your manix.

    Nice video Jordan, clear and simple language. The type of feedback you have called "physical" - I believe you have meant friction causing a resistance while you are sliding the blade on the stone surface. For not having written down the points of a topic You managed to explain things very well.

    I'm far from experienced, but I agree with you. I use my 240/400F Vanev, my Spyderco medium and then strop. Great video. Very helpful.

    A bit lengthy but worth the time. One tip, don’t start on a knife without a sharpening choil like in the video. Not having one and having to grind away quite a bit of material takes a lot of time and it’s not easy.

    In the past 2 years I have got into sharping , BAD. I am pretty sure I am more addicted to stones and systems then knives if that is even a thing. I have consumed 100"s of hours of sharping content. Very quickly i am becoming partial yours. super informative content, some of the very best. Brother in Christ please keep making videos. They are great. Thank you very much. Also @karinaj.bradley6566 YES I totally agree. PRO TIPS.

    Same here. I like it more to sharpen then to use the knives 😅
