A good tip if you are new to knife sharpening is to use a permanent marker to colour in the edge. Then when you sharpen it makes it clear where you are removing metal.

@@AnarchAngel1 Yes indeed. Knife to the hard flat stone in a cutting motion. Stropping is the opposite motion on a soft surface that will create a small convex secondary bevel. You can create a convex with a stone that is hand held but again the different motion and the fact that the stone is in your hand gives it the flexibility needed for the convex. Once the edge has a decent convex it takes a lot of time on the stones to bring it back to full scandi since you have to remove a lot of steel.

This is the easiest method and I never thought about the method before. Thank you!

This really is a common sense and useful video. I have always struggled with sharpening knives and this technique is definitely going into my toolbox 👍🏻

This video was so helpful! I took a knife that hasn’t been sharpened in about 2 years and followed your instructions and bam sharp knife. I did he newspaper test and it cut like butter. Thank you thank you.

Thank you this makes it more likely that I will be sharpening in the future rather than just buying a new knife

That’s been my method for the past 60 years. The “kiss” method rules supreme. 😊👍👍

Finally someone who can actually explain this properly.

Brilliant - thank you. As someone who struggles with knife sharpening this concept of determining the blade angle is genius - thanks once again.

I love my lansky puck's for all camping etc. They are EXCELLENT for axes and hatchets. "keep the faith people and keep on keeping on"

Almost feel like face palming after seeing this technique. It just makes so much sense since finding the correct angle is the hardest thing about sharpening

This is the best video / explanation I've come across! Bringing the stone to the knife (instead of the knife to the stone) is such a simple subtle shift that makes all the difference in being able to really clearly see what you're doing and get the angle and technique correct.

Thank you! So many people emphasize the 15 or 20 degree angle, but I like how you mentioned the gap and closing it. Makes sense!

What a wonderfully simple technique. This takes the dread out of the process for me.

This sounds like a great technique as the biggest problem in learning to sharpen is 'finding the angle' or 'closing the gap'. What has helped me is stropping. Yes, instead of pushing the blade against the stone (to sharpen it), with stropping you draw the blade 'backwards' so you are never in danger of crunching the edge into the stone. But whilst stropping, you learn to feel that 'perfect angle' and it translates to when you then try pushing (as in sharpening with a stone) instead of pulling (as in stropping). Of course it doesn't happen overnight. I did not set out deliberately to learn sharpening by stropping, but I used to spend nights watching TV stropping whilst playing with my new knives. After a few months, feeling the angle had been learned and I found sharpening 'just happened'. Also, I started sharpening with an oiled but smooth Arkansas stone, and I would recommend starting off that way because it is more forgiving if you do crunch the blade but also because I think the smoothness and slight grip of the oil, helps you feel when you have just the right angle. After that, shifting to courser (more aggressive) stones is easy. One last point, you need to be aware of what type of grind your blade has, and try to preserve it. The Mora, for example, has a scandi grind with flat side meeting at an angle. They make feeling the angle easier because you have a large flat area which makes contact when on the perfect angle. Other grinds may be concave, and finding the angle there does involve feeling for a slight crunch, backing off to maintain the angle - so a bit more difficult. But there again, stropping helps because maintaining the angle is all part of the 'stropping skills development package'. Oh, another last point. You need to sharpen evenly along the entire blade, then stop and sharpen the other side when you feel the edge has folded over. Yes... After sharpening the blade for a while the edge will become really fine. So fine, that a microscopic edge will develop and get pushed backwards on the other side. When that happens, evenly across the entire length of the blade, you then need to begin sharpening from the other side. You know when this folded edge has developed by stopping every so often and testing to see if your finger nails can catch the fold when you pull your nails down over the edge (not length wise... that would slice them open) on the side opposite to the that which you've been sharpening. Once you've developed that folded edge and swapped sides a few times, you need to be more gentle and careful with your sharpening and move to a finer stone. Sometimes the folded edge you're developing simply flips and flops around to the opposite side that you're working on without actually resulting in much sharpening. If you feel that is happening then swipe (as in, cut or slice) the cutting edge of the blade through a corner of a block of wood, in order to wipe the edge off. Then continue sharpening. BTW, I think Dan's method is a great starting point. I hope what I've outlined (practice stropping to learn to feel for the angle then...) will help you progress. Obviously there are also lots of KZread knife sharpening videos out there as well.

@bossybill7437

Here's another tip (lol). For most people, you don't need to sharpen your knife that frequently. Often a simple stropping will do. If you get to the point where stropping is just not doing it, you could try using a (carving) steel before moving to stones. The thing about using a steel is that, when used correctly (which most people will already have seen), it helps you set a consistent angle.

Awesome video! I’ve watched a lot of knife sharpening videos and this one is hands down the best technique for beginners. Can’t wait to try it out! 🙏

I collect knives & I've viewed many, many videos covering "How to Sharpen" your knife.., well, your's beats them ALL!!! THX for these insights [especially the info covering blade-to-stone angle] and safe & sure way to kill dullness.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will most certainly try this method out next time. I have always had problems with keeping the correct angle when using the classic slide on the stone method.

This was a great instruction. I was always 45ing it like how they taught me. Never got why I was dulling my blade.

Excellent, Dan. This is the first time that I've seen this technique taught. Thank you.

I feel confident about sharpening my knives correctly now! Thank you!

When I was an adult Boy Scout, we actually tried shaving with our pocket knives- Crocodile Dundee style! We spent an hour sharpening first, then we were able to shave some. 😎 We still needed the razor anyway. 😋

My grandfather was an ornamental black smith and wood carver. I was taught by his son my uncle how to sharpen knives. You come closest to the way our ancestors sharpened knives, axes, hoes, shovels and scissors. The circular motion and angle method you demonstrated comes closest to the method I was shown. But I have seen a more interesting method that Japanese sword black Smith's use. They set angle and draw the stone like a leather strop. This method works well on a small knife but not on a sword for example.

Simple concept. Simple response. Thank you, Dan.

You're a Really Great Guy! God Bless you. Every Boy Scout, Cub Scout etc. should see this.

My Father sharpened all his knives to razor sharp, I watched him many times when he sharpened our carving knife using a steel, it was so fast i asked him to slow up, Ive never really understood how he did it. Nice video Dan, easy to follow.

Great instructions on knife sharpening. An easy task nobody practice anymore including myself. Thank you.

OMG! Thank you so much, Dan!

I really like how you hold the knife and stone so you can see the gap. However, you may want to mention that not all knifes have a single grind. For example blades that are made from thinner stock than the one you use in the video, like Swiss army knives, will have a primary grind of around 15 dps which extends 1/4 or 1/2 the way towards the spine of the blade, and then a secondary grind, which only extends a couple of millimeters from the edge, of 20-25 dps. This means that when you 'close the gap' your stone is resting on the primary bevel and won't remove any metal from the secondary bevel. It could be quite frustrating for someone to apply your great technique only to find that their knife never seems to get any sharper.

I think it’s hilarious that every time someone puts out a video on how to sharpen a knife, it’s a Scandi grind. The easiest grind to sharpen. Show how to field sharpen a convex or hollow grind with no obvious bevel to use as a guide. That would be a big help for people starting off in Bushcrafting. Not all knives are scandi.
