Glad you folks liked "the right f* angle" - haha - but on a more serious note, here are a few answers to common-comments™ : - Wooden or plastic wedges, that could attach to the blade don't work : They just stuff the stone with matter, preventing it from sharpening afterwards. - An Angle Cube. I've tried this already and it's great...to measure steady things. Now you try to read it while it's moving back and forth on the stone. See ? - I know the Lansky sharpening system & I know the Russian Equivalent. They're great. But they are completely not what I am trying to achieve here. I want us to be able to sharpen without guides or wedges or BULKY systems at the end. I want to build a device that will subtly teach us to get and maintain the correct angle.

I have that same whetstone and on the Amazon shop page it says to ONLY soak the darker side, that soaking the fine grit side will cause it to crack, so you should only put a bit of water on the lighter part.

I have an adjustable sharpener, but there are also some plastic guides you can rest on the side of the stone, not on the stone itself.

The angle-meter you want to build won't work. The reason is that you need to afix your instrument on a certain reference plain. But since the edge of every blade is curved, you need to lift the blade as you sharpen towards the tip. This causes the measured angle to change. If you truly want a consistent angle along the edge, you'd need to measure the curvature of the edge and model that into the motion. Now it becomes really hard to measure not just the rotary, but also the translative degrees of freedom with a gyroscopic device. So additional sensors would be needed. This probem of sharpening consistent angles along a curve is much harder than one might think initially.

Spread it like butter at the right fucking angle! hahahaha

The bluetooth angle thing is like the pinnacle of pettiness and excessive precision... I absolutely LOVED IT!! You're just wonderful, Alex!

Can't believe sharpening could be interesting, this channel is so precious :)

Another brilliant video on the little details of cooking. Creates a beautiful experience with such simplicity.

Wonderful video, Alex!

You are both a chef and a scientist Alex!!

Watched your video yesterday and ran to the kitchen to try it out, with amazing results. Love your channel!

Your channel has gotten so much better over the best couple years! Recipe videos are fine, but I really like how you take a dish, and explore all the components of it. That’s what I think cooking should be! You break down the process into individual parts, and explore each part fully! I really appreciate that! I love you channel!

I love how you blend your knowledge of mechanical engineering with your love for cooking, your videos are always so fun and informative.

These videos are so entertaining! I never do or cook any of the projects you present, I'm just along for the ride. You could do a series on politics or culture or art or whatever and I'd be watching them! :)

You’re passion, enthusiasm and wit makes you such a great teacher! I really love your videos and am learning every time I watch one. I find it really, really helpful that you include your kitchen failures in your vids and not just the successfully attempts. As much as I enjoy food and cooking, often times I can quickly lose confidence when something doesn’t go to plan however, your practical kitchen knowledge/skills videos such as this one are helping me to understand some fundamental basics. Thank you so much for the sheer amount of time and effort you put into creating your content. It’s greatly appreciated.

Because of you I spented money (which I dont have, cause I am a student) and bought a sharpening stone. And because of you I finally have very sharp knives today, thanx Alex!

Hey Alex. I want to thank you for your hard work and that you take us on an awesome and always funny adventure in the world of cooking. I am very excited about your next video. :)

I absolutely love your videos you present information in an easy and "digestible" way, thank you very much

This is absolutely stunning. Ingenious. The angle guides you have created - I want one. I want two!

I love your personality and enthusiasm it's really infectious!

Glad i saw this immediately. Really helpful, you can also get a cheep angle stand system that keeps that adjusted angle constant, though some are very expensive for some reason...DIY! lookin forward to the series maybe youll make another custom knife...

Perfect timing with this video! I just got my first high-quality chef’s knife (Wüsthof Ikon) and I want to take good care of it. Your angle guides will come in handy. Thanks, French Guy! You’re awesome!

Oh! After the Ramen addiction you are getting crazy about knives 😂! I love that!! Your videos are so helpful and I like the way you question every single detail.

wow...next level french guy!

I've never looked forward to a teased youtube video than I am looking forward to that angle alert device you teased for the next video, can't wait!

Thank you for the simple/brilliant explanation.

Somewhere between science, and art, is magic. Love the videos.

Thanks Alex! My Mother wanted to learn how to sharpen knives for her birthday, which is tomorrow, and I can't wait to point her here for the details! Keep it up!

I am happy I found your channel....you make me smile and I get your point on sharpening....thank you =D

Excellent video Alex! Very entertaining whilst most educating... subscribed immediately.. good work!

I needed a french fellow for this tonight. Thank you, sir.

You never cease to amaze me

Yesss!!! So hyped for the next episode!!

Best Food KZread Channel, following you since you started out with Jamie. Back then you only had about 1000 follower! You were still cooking in your appartment but already great stuff there! Keep it up french guy

This awesome. Thanx heaps for the PDF. Now to test it... I learnt to sharpen knives while working as a receptionist for a smallgoods co. watching the Boners & Butchers sharpening their knives 👍🏼😁

after his last video I bought a stone. used to have one but never knew how to use it. will still keep my stand sharpener but am looking fw to using it when I arrives. his videos are very informative. ty ty

This is my new favourite channel.

That was an amazing video. Super entertaining and informational if only everyone had as much energy while making a video like this.

one of the best channels out there!!!

Not only great information, but you put a smile on my face too…thank you! 😂

That is a great idea ALEX!

Great work again, well as always Alex

Cant wait for the next episode on this topic!

As always Alex, you make great content and I do admire your search for simple but smart. Bravo!

Love your videos! Brilliant work! Thank you from Norway 🤘🏻✌🏻

Your dedication to accuracy is inspiring, Alex

Can’t wait Alex!

Every time I see that you upload I cackle and I show the nearest person the name of your video and I tell them that you never let me down with the content.

I wish I knew your channel sooner, your videos are very entertaining and it makes me want to cook at home, something I never did.

I LEARNED MORE FROM YOU THAN 20 VIDEO'S FROM OTHER UTUBE VIDEO'S WASTING MY TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS ALEX....................

Alex you are amazing!!! Thank you for this and all previous videos. I would bye that angle tool​ directly

Wow, you're never stopping to amaze me. Keep it up, Alex

Can't wait for the next video!

Great video. You cover many different angles of knife sharpening.

Fun educational video. Thank you.

Merci pour la classe d'instruction la plus informative..............

Love watching your videos, can’t wait for the next one!

Your ASMR is on point

Great content and new information, keep it going

Hi Alex Thank you so much for the angle guide this will definitely help me so much to gain the muscle memory for sharpening my knives. BIG BIG fan! all the way from South Africa, Cape town.

Thank you Alex!

The most useful video!! Thanks dude 😁

You are a true artist

One thing I like about your videos is you bring those engineer mindset into kitchen applications and processes.

Great info. You must be a pro editor. I've shot and edited news for over 20 years and know great cutting when I see it. Keep it up!

I'm seriously looking forward to the next video!!! (as per usual)

Would you think about a pastry and pie series? :0 or is this nothing for you? :) Would be cool to See interesting ideas about savory and sweet pies. With shortcrust or puff pastry for example. Love your Videos by the way :3

As an indvidual who loves all things cutlery, I find your channel very informative and hilarious. New favorite channel!

I just finished watching! (yes I commented and liked before watching 😬). Absolutely brilliant idea! Can't wait for the following video 😄

I don't even like food or cooking I just love how your mind works Alex

Love your content Alex, keep it up young man.

thanks for the PDF !

Omg Alex this is awesome, keep doing this love your videos!

Oh my god Alex! The effort you put in excel & PDF sheets you provide to us is insane!!! Video editing and delivering information easy & clean although! When I finished at 5:22 my mind was already blown and then I listened to the word “share my vision” and saw 6:18 I screamed like a mad chicken 😂😂💔 I can’t explain the added value I gained from your channel I’m really thankful man! You’re up normally passionate and creative!

Use sound to directly if you are on the right angle you selected with just a button!! Nice to have Becky doing this.

Amazing idea!

These videos are so good

you've made me laugh more than any Alton Brown episode. Having worked formerly with the Galloping Gourmet I applaud your creative energy, humor and fabulous edutainment. well done

That's why I'm subbed to this channel: engineering+cooking. Wish one day I could master them both like Alex:D

That electronic knife angle checker looks really exciting! Might be an invention that could sell well. I certainly want one!

Jadore tes videos gros, la jsuis en terminale a shanghai et je comprends pourquoi tu kiffe autant la nourriture asiatique. Tu parles super bien anglais aussi pour un francais jetais assez etonne! continue sur le meme chemin!

Alex, you're insane. Keep up the wonderful work.

Keep up the good work! Thanks to your previous sharpening video I picked up a whetstone that I bought and left laying around cause I did not know how I know when I have finished sharpening. But that to your previous video I picked it up again and managed to sharpen all the knives in my house and now it’s a fun hobby that I do whenever I feel like it. Thank very much! (Of course I had to do some trial and errors on the way it was not a magic trick after all:)

I love how its the kitchen / lab almost everyday a new experiment.

I really enjoy your videos. i sharpen knives every day and teach freehand sharpening, angles come up a lot. This is what I tell people. Every kitchen knife can be sharpened between 10 and 20 degrees. (cleavers go through bone so those are at the 23-30 deg range) what determines the angle is the steel the knife is made of. So soft steels can be sharpened between 15 and 20 deg while hard knives can be sharpened between 10 and 15 deg per side. You have a Dream Knife Angle and an Average Knife Angle. Build muscle memory to enhance your sharpening skills depending on the knives you use. Only after muscle memory, your sharpening muscles are created can you really start manipulating angles to suit each knife. Freehand sharpeners don't know exactly what angle they sharpen at, I don't, I just know it's consistent whether it's 11 or 13 deg. Keep it simple. Did I tell you I really enjoy your videos, well produced. Thank you for making them.

Toujours tres constructif ^^ Merci

Man, thank you!! 👍👍👍 subscribed

Really well done! Hunting knives (for skinning) are generally around 22 to 30 degrees. God bless!

What should the angles be for a bushcraft knife and a survival knife... Where one would expect to be doing everything from skinning or the occasional paper cutting or shaving to batoning wood and hacking chicken bones.... I suppose shaving and slicing paper may be the least of ones concerns tho...

Hype for future episodes!

Your videos are always so good. You could make me excited about doing my taxes even if I owed money.

epic teaser for the next episode! :D

Alex, any good kitchen injury stories from dull knife blades??? Owwww! People, keep your knives sharp. Moi, I almost cut the tip of my thumb off from my santoku that I was too lazy to sharpen. Never again! I’m all over your angles! Merci, monsieur.

what a clever chap
