@@knivesworld8055 the upper rod is 16” and the lower is 6”. It lets you do knives that are about 16” in length. If you swap the 16” rod to the bottom and add a 36” rod to the top, you can do swords and very long blades.

Here is a reference for those of you who use japanese water stones on your kitchen knives or razors. in western sandpaper: 1200 grit = 3.8 microns. in japanese water stones: 2000 grit = 6 microns 4000 grit = 3 microns For a more practical compariaon: a 1200 grit belt will provide a grind similar to the Naniwa Green Brick of Joy, which many sushi shokunin(myself included) use to touch up their knives between shifts. The feel of the polish will be different, but the toothless of the edge will be in the same range. Therefore this belt system will give you a good, toothy, 'full shift' edge. This level would be acceptable for more hard use blades like Deba, Honetsuki, Sushikiri, unagikiri, hamokiri, etc. Following this up with a polishing stone or two above 5000 grit would give you an edge suitable for blades such as yanagi, takobiki, usuba, etc. There are times though, when you want a more toothy edge on these thin, slicing knives. For example; on extremely fatty or oily fish, a highly(12000+) polished edge is actually too smooth and can lead to less ideal cuts than an edge in the 3-6000 range would. I have a yanagiba that i only sharpen up to the Green Brick of Joy level for precisely such occasions. In theory, this system would produce comparable end results to a tormek(with the replacement japanese stone wheel). As to the potential time savings, I will have to wait until I build a Revolution grinder for my shop and try it for myself. For what it's worth; the folks over at Japanese Knife Imports use a combination of 2x72's, small(horizontal) kaiten toishi's, and both natural and artificial water stones to do repairs and put final edges on blades for customers. I hope that helped.

that one use is a good reason to have a 2x72 or similar.....these things, for serious makers, are indespensible ...great tutorial and a nice teeth itching moment running that edge on your finger nail THanks for sharing

What sort of investment do you need in belts? Thinking about it, I have a large belt sander in my wood shop, and the belts for that are insignificant compared to the initial cost of the sort of belt sander in this video, but I'd still be interested?

@@TrevorDennis100 If we are talking about for lathe tools, then as far as belts, you really only need two grits. One for re-profiling and one for sharpening. As far as the belt grinder, you would find many more uses for it. Every man should have a good belt grinder. Just such a versatile tool.

Thx for the vid Dennis! Question: What benefit does the Norax belt provide that the ceramic does not. I'm guessing maybe it's because the Norax provides more of a polishing action as opposed to a material removal action of a ceramic belt. Just wondering if that's the reason. Thx again!

@TyrellKnifeworks

I’m a really big fan of the engineered belts now for the higher grits. Both for doing bevels on blades and for sharpening. They are very rigid and I feel you get a flatter grind. If you look at even a 120 ceramic, it bows a bit on the platen (which goes away with pressure) but these do not. I just like the engineered belts for that reason. 👍

I'll stick to my WE for the precision and grit choices alone, but this would certainly be preferable to the eyeball method of sharpening katanas. It's ingratiating knowing that I'm potentially introducing an imperfection in the bevel angle.

@TyrellKnifeworks

6 ай бұрын

I went from a WE to this system and would never look back. If you're using a digital angle finder to set the bevel, it's extremely precise. Plus the start/stop marks using the WE (on larger knives) are aggravating and don't make the knife look professional if you're selling it. Thanks for watching.

HI Dennis, just a couple of quick questions. I see in this video that the chef knife that your doing is at an angle of 15% and I think in the video of when you are building the Perfect Edge knife attachment that angle was set at around 27 to 28% for that knife. Is there a direct relationship between angle and thickness of the blade? And is there something like a book that references that? I also discovered the longer your vertical support are is the wider the blade you can fit in there. I've made a secondary on just for that purpose.

@TyrellKnifeworks

4 ай бұрын

The angle is related to the purpose of the knife. Chef knives tend to have 12-17 degree secondary bevels whereas hunters and other knifes tend to be less extreme. The Perfect Blade sharpening attachment can do them all though. 😉. Thanks for watching.

When grinding bevels before sharpening, how thin do you grind to before it's ready to sharpen? I know about the 'thickness of a dime' minimum for blade edge before hardening. so now that my knife is hardened, how thin do I take the bevel edge before using sharpening stones? (I don't have the set up to use belts for sharpening)

@TyrellKnifeworks

8 ай бұрын

It depends on the type of knife. The max is about .015” at the edge. For kitchen knives you want very thin, I’d go 0.005”. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Built mine just yesterday based off your previous video from a month or two back. Would have built it back then but my drill press was down waiting for a new arbor. This is a Killer jig :) FYI I found that for a very narrow blade like a kitchen carving knife where not much of the blade protrudes from the holder + a real acute sharpening angle like 15 degrees needs to be done with the bar out in front of the grinder and the belt in reverse because if you have it the other way around the screw on the blade holder will be hitting the belt before you can get the angle down low enough

That is a fine sharpener, but you still have to replace the Diamond stones. Plus it really only does small knives. This attachment uses the belts you most likely already have and can handle any knife, even swords. Plus it’s much quicker than the WorkSharp or any of this systems. There’s also the “start/stop” issues on larger knives that doesn’t give you that beautifully perfect edge that this will.
