Perfect example of why the vast majority of people shouldn’t be buying delicate, full flat Spydercos in super steels. And why we shouldn’t be telling them “Spyderco is an excellent choice,” without know what they are doing with the knife. Could have easily bought ten Ganzos in D2 and used them until they wore out. This was a “user” who got sold a “knife geek” knife.

I've actually used this field sharpener to fully sharpen and repair tons of supersteel edges but where I might lend a slight suggestion is for you to get a nice stiffer bristled toothbrush or the like and continuously clean the loose steel particles off of the stones otherwise you're doing more gliding across the top of the diamond abrasive more than cutting into and removing the steel! Now this goes for all sharpening stones or systems, you need to frequently clean the stones off to allow the abrasives to be fully exposed and work as they should... I know this is an old video but maybe this can help someone who reads the comment or you Pete with your other sharpening systems... This is quite the handy little sharpener amd works very well if used properly with a bit of stone maintenance....

Tips: Turn it 180°. That side is easier to hold. Also, keep the ceramic rod facing your sharpening hand and just switch the plates out. There’s more room on that side to get that last 2-3mm of blade sharpened.

The eraser works great but is a little bit time consuming for using it while working on one edge (in my opinion the eraser works best between 80 to 200 strokes, it depends on stone type, grit and steel that needs to be sharpened) Using a piece of lightly damp kitchen paper every 50 strokes works better for cleaning the stone when sharpening just one edge

Watching the stone load up over the time lapse footage, was its own reward. You sir, are a champ!

I've pretty much never used the diamond plates on mine. The ceramic rod and the leather strop have been more than enough to keep my blades touched up, and if I need something more aggressive I usually use a different sharpener. That said, since this is also the only sharpener I carry in the field, it's good to see that it can be done if necessary.

Be really really careful with belt grinders and paper wheels! New "actual" research done over @ Knifesteelnerds.com suggests that even aggressively using a diamond stone can screw with the temper of the steel at the very cutting apex! Essentially you are micro tempering your knife and softening the very edge of your Knife that you worked so hard for! I make sure to always wet my blade down after each pass and use the slowest speed my belt grinder allows when working with Hardened steel that i want to keep Hard!

Nice job! I have found that it helps a lot if you wash off from time to time the residues from the diamond plates.

Thanks for this, I'm absolutely shit with mine so hopefully this will help do more good than bad with my work sharp

I hope your friend appreciates you rebuilding his knife. I have work knives that I've retired or taken a carbide to that had better edges than what was done to that blade. Good on you

Nice work with the guided field sharpener. Goes to show that much time and patience has to be spent getting chips sharpened out as you did. Great work on a basic field sharpener to achieve the results that you did.👍

Thanks, I bought one based on your recommendation and this was a great guide

Nice to see it can handle that if needed, I just ordered one the other day.👍

Great video and thanks for the FF9 songs

I don't know how long this will last but right now (August 22, 2020) this sharpener is on sale for $19 on Amazon (at least in the US). I have one that I just ordered YESTERDAY, so it's really weird to see a video show up in my notifications about it the next day.

Thank god you did this so we don’t have to. Also - excellent music choice for the intro! One of my favorites from 7

I chipped my 3v in the field with this sharpener on me. Held off the side of a stump and used it kinda like u do the KME until I removed enough material...then I got the edge right works pretty quick.Just little tip if someone does basically have to reprofile while out....excellent video as always ......

That dog with its stare would be the only dog in the world I kiss back with affection.

I think for any blade s35vn and under this is a pretty solid choice. Mine stays in my pack and goes most places with me. Sharpens fishing hooks rather well too I might add.

That was an endeavor! Well done Pete.

Excellent review. I'd love to see you do a review on the cheap & cheerful Lansky 4 Rod Turn Box system. I use mine more than my Sharpmaker because I find it easier (as long as the rods are frequently cleaned).

I would use 60 grit sandpaper first and just do straight -up vertical passes till you get the chips out ,then do the regrind with some 150 grit,then do the finish work with the diamonds-i've done this and it works -love your channel and all the super informative info,diamond stones are too valuable to wear down with just a few knives

I have one of these. The hardest steel I've used on it is spyderco's M4 and it did well enough for what i needed it for. I wish it had different angles to switch to but for knives you'd use in the "field" 20 degrees is fine. The only issue i have is that on larger blades you run out of stone pretty quick and have to almost do it in two passes for one edge. Knives under 5 inches aren't too bad but i would mainly just strop anything larger than that. Idk that's just my opinion though. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah.. I have friends like that. I recommend 8Cr13Mov (or equivalent) knives and 20-22 knife angle. They are happy with it and a 3 minute resharpen once in a while will make them go "Whoa! Thanks mate. What a great knife"

Ur method is really exhausting. Theres another one. Hard for me to explain in english since it isnt my motger tongue. Here is how u also could do it: Put ur knifes edge on a 90 degree angle on the diamant plate. Grind until the chip and the edge is literally gone. Then u have to fully restore the edge with the right angle. I would go with roughly 15-20 degree per side. Thats how u can concentrate more on the chip towards the tip instead of going all the way so slowly and removing so much material. Also u should get rid of all the removed material in the process. Ur diamond plate wont hold up if u use it to roughly with to much pressure in my experience. Keep up the good work. Much respect!!

Agreed. I've used this method also. That said, I believe the method the videos author used is more work, but would keep the knifes blade closer to its original sweep... but way more work.

I use my Worksharp Field Sharpener more than all my Japanese whetstones. My kitchen knives, I’ll whetstone them because I like having a really fine edge. But for my pocket knives, fishing, and camping knives, I use the Field Sharpener regularly to touch them up.

Synchronistic that the video yhat finally helps me use this thing and actually get an edge, and your love of nobuo uematsu matches my own.

First off, FF7 music brought back fond memories. Secondly, what knifenut doesn't know such ppl? Some 8Cr13MoV beater would be more appropriate for most of them - and easier to re-sharpen, too. XD

In some cases you can switch the plates to the opposite sides, if you want to use the handle end. Otherwise come at the choil area from the ceramic side and sometimes get at the heel a little more especially at that little notch area that goes right to the plate instead of fighting the strop side.

I had to do a similar job with my sons Benchmade and I started with about a 30° per side edge and when I was just about to the good steel I layed it back to about 20° and it seemed to go by in no time whole job took about 15 minutes. The chips were similar but not as good steel, but I think with starting a steep angle would have made your job easier. Just my opinion take care and stay safe buddy.

Great vid bro...love the original final fantasy 7 background music!!

Pete, something I did with my WSGFS to make a more complete on the go sharpening system was to remove the diamond plate and the ceramic rod. Buy a Spyderco doublestuff ceramic, and shove the diamond plates as well as the ceramic rod inside the leather slip with the double stuff. Now you have coarse diamond, fine diamond, brown ceramic, white ceramic, and a rod for recurves or whatnot. Also a leather slip for stripping

It is really the best field sharpener on the market. For that kind of damage I would go with a reprofiling and new bevel on the belt sander though simply because I value my time. You got some decent results though. Just goes to show exactly why I love this product though. Always in my pocket.

Great job & a quite impressive tool, gotta love the FF VII music, 😎👍👍

I had my doubts, well done.

If you don’t mind me asking why do you grab the small end of the work sharp instead of the end your supposed to grab. I’m just asking Pete...lol.

Skillz. Cool video, impressed with the capability of that sharpener, although I'm guessing I could spend a year with that same knife and sharpener and not be able to get the same results lol.

When i sharpen a knife, even one wirh damage to the edge, i use hand held diamond sharpeners and hones. Its what i learned to sharpen on. No guides, just free hand. I never had an opportunity to use large table top stones and hones.

Always alternates sides on your final passes when. This helps to produce a more even burr.

*No Bricky was harmed in the making of this video.

I'd say the S110V steel was probably the worst choice, as compared to the 17 degree angle, for a person that "cuts rocks". LOL. Enjoyed the video! You're a good friend.

Just bought a Benchmade Griptilian it had a few chips after using the diamond course plate it’s like new

FF7 music in the beginning brings back memories.

Great vid Pete, with enough time and effort man can achieve almost anything) But work sharp with a belt grinder attachment would do the job in like 20 minutes max))

got same sharpener... i like ;) dont know much about sharpening s110v but usualy fine ceramic does wonders... maybe dont skip that when sharpening after fine diamond side.

Thank you for what you do

Um, yeah. I'm sold. Buying one of these Guided Field Sharpeners immediately. Btw, Give your friend a freaking CRJB or Civivi. He's not allowed to own S110V.

All kidding aside I love my worksharp. I have the same sharpener. But my knives are cts-xhp an m390 an i never had a problem fixing my blades. I actually fixed a chip in my xhp from hitting a screw head and it was a stainless screw. But it did it in no time.

What a lovely dog you have

I taught myself how to sharpen on one of them. They do the job.

dont flick the knife tip of the edge of the diamond plate. it will over time chew your tip away. and dont push so hard on the leather. it will round your edge over. so you think you have a sharp knife that will glide though paper. but i would be way sharper if you didnt have a rolled edge. iv been sharpening knives professionaly for 12 years now. just some tips for you. great video bro. love your content.
