I found so many sharpening vids, but your is the best, very detailed, showing variations... thank you!

This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much for making it. I've always felt intimidated with sharpening my whittling knives, especially the hook knife, and I feel more confident in giving it a go :)

Someone sposer this man! Great video.

Excellent tutorial! I like your tip add 2000 grit sandpaper on wood. Your clip...is just what I was looking for.

Excellent video, well done my friend.

Thank you so much for making this vid

How do you clean the Leather Strop? Will it spoil with water?

I rarely clean mine off, maybe one a year but havent done so in over a year. But I use heat to soften the wax and then buff it off. Others use olive oil or something but haven't done so myself

I have a regular whetstone but no special oil; should I use olive oil or is it better to use no oil at all?

before we go on here, whetstones use water as a lubricant. oil stones use honing oil, which is basically mineral oil. So if its a whetstone and not an oil stone, water only. I would advise against not using any lubricant or the metal will start to imbed into your stone and reduce the effectiveness of the stone. If you are uncertain if it is a whetstone or not, put a small amount of water on the stone. if it absorbs the water like a sponge, its a whetstone. If the water just sits on top or slides off, its an oil stone. As to using olive oil, since it is an organic oil it will eventually go bad and smell over time if you don't get all the oil off.

Can you make a mohagany spoon?
