Great vid as usual Cody. I used to use painters tape, (Blue, Green, Black, Red) and packing tape. I don't use any of those any longer. I have discovered Hockey Tape is the best of the lot. No residue, resistant to water, removes easily, and tough to scratch up. I also put Hockey Tape on my blade table instead of painters tape. This is the real test that proves Hockey Tape is, without a doubt in my opinion, the tape to use.

Thank you for sharing this.

Cody A+ on this one. The tips for this vid go a lot farther then your previous ones. The half stone tip is something that Solves a problem I’ve wrestled with. Keeping the knife in one place also is a help for me. Dude this video series has gone up a level bud.

Edge Pro Inc. I’ll keep sending them in if ya want.

Great tips Cody. My #4 kit is on its way from our Canadian outlet in Quebec --- along with the magnet and guide.

I use the packing tape from USPS. I hang it off the edge at first, then cut to match the knife profile, pull the tape off and slide it up to just past the bevel. Then cut along the spine, and do the other side. Sometimes I'll leave some at the spine to wrap over to protect the spine from getting scratched too. Love your work with the angle cube, Cody. Especially to quantify the angle difference up to the tip. Hot Tip!

Hi Chad, Let me know how the DIY install goes!

I have used both, but have moved toward packing tape. It stays on better, especially if you are stepping up through many levels of stones/tape.

Hey Cody. Could you show us how to sharpen knives with really concave edges? Like hawk bill or hookbill knives?

A narrow stone progression would be interesting...

Great video Cody!! I see the regular stones work well for that little recurve in the middle of the blade. It’s good to know! Whenever I come across a recurve, I automatically grab the narrow stones, no matter how deep it is. The recurve on this knife appears to be fairly shallow.

@EdgePro

Brad, Yes it was extremely shallow. I hardly even noticed it. I avoid the 1/2" stones as much as I can because I feel like they wear much faster.

I probably would have jumped right to the skinny stones too, good call.

Try the FROGTAPE painters tape, works better as doesn't break down with the water saturation issues.

I have both painters and packing tape. I’ve found painters tape is a little easier to apply and get to sharpening quicker. Packing tape definitely offers a little more protection though...

Agreed. One time I used packing tape, and it left a strange discoloration on the blade . . . ever since then I've been a little hesitant to use it. But I've never heard of anyone else that happened to.

Packing tape works extremely well for me. I always use lots of water so the painter's tape doesn't last long.

@EdgePro

Yeah, when I use painters tape I have to be careful not to get carried away with the water. And I wipe the table off frequently.

I use the high heat tape from Cerakote, it is unaffected by water and dose not leave a residue

Definitely gonna try that out

ScotchBlue Painter's Tape for Exterior Surfaces #2097 is the best of both worlds. The tape is plastic and waterproof. Unlike packing tape, it is easy to remove and never leaves sticky residue.

I will be looking in to this as well. I think a customer sent me a knife one time with it already taped and had this stuff on it but I didn't know what it was.

Do a video on Sharpening a hard steal like m4

Hey Cody I was wondering if you could do a video on ceramic knives ? I recently bought a hand full of your diamond matrix stones and it showed you can sharpen with them. Also if you could do one on serrated knives thanks! Cheers!

@EdgePro

Howdy, sharpening ceramic knives is much different. They don't feel sharp -even when they are. And they do not develop burrs like steel does. You will need diamond stones to sharpen them as well, aluminum oxide & silicon carbide stones don't work on them. As for doing a video on them - great suggestion! I'm hoping to have time to film some more videos in the near future so I'll see if I can get my hands on a ceramic knife.

Wow, that looks incredible. Nice job, Cody! Can I send you my bucks, lol?

Can you do a video on keeping bevel even along the whole length of the blade. I constantly run into this problem when you get close to tip. I’m not sure I get your explanation in this video.

Charles, I go over this a little bit more in the Boker Kalashnikov video. But I'll try to keep touching on the subject.

I use painters tape since it’s easier to cut and get to follow the edge. Packing is harder to get to follow the edge

Agreed, - A customer shared a pretty cool trick me awhile ago for cutting packing tape to fit your knife. First he lays the cutting tape down on a plastic cutting board, then traces the knife with a marker, then scores the tape and it fits the knife like a glove. I tried it once and it worked pretty good.

Edge Pro Inc. now that’s a game changer.

Wheres the paper sharpness test? Or the arm hair shaving?

Newbie here and this may seem like a dumb question but I thought the instructions said to move the knife (tip) over so that the stone always is sharpening over the table. I assume this is an exception to that rule. Any guidence for me on when to do that and when not to?

@EdgePro

Shaun - good question. If the knife is stiff enough you can center the knife on the table and sharpen the whole thing (as long as the knife isn't too long). But if it is flexible (most kitchen knives) then I'd draw the knife across the table.

Do you putt the Stones into the Water

The Edge Pro stones, do not require soaking. Just splash and go. However, there are some aftermarket stones that do require soaking - just not ours.

Very nice. Wanna sharpen my reaper?
