Whetstone Sharpening the Worlds Cheapest Knife
Ойын-сауық
I bought this knife at random from a dollar store in Canada, for only $1.50! Is it even possible to make this thing sharp?!

You know you're committed when you're willing to cut thinning hair for a video. Gotta give this man a like.
I don't think anyone says you can't get an edge on a cheap knife. In fact, it's easier than usual. The problem is it won't hold that edge for shit.

It's harder to get an edge on a cheap knife in my experience since the steel is so soft the damn burr won't go away.

A dollar-fifty stainless steel knife that's sharp enough to slice paper? That's nothing to sneeze at ! !
Those dollar store knives are just the thing for cutting birthday cake at the office party. ;-)
Nice looking edge on a knife that I was sure wouldnt take. Good work
Hey Kyle, nice video. This knive's worth is 0.1% the buying price and 99.9% the hourly rate you put in :D
Hilarious!😂 Well done Kyle👍🏼
Awesome job!!
Kyle, I stumbled across your channel this morning and its awesome to find a fellow Newfie producing this kind of quality content on KZread! I watched your canoe breakfast trip from last year and it was like being home again LOL. I haven't seen those views in about 30 years. Thanks for sharing and congrats on your business!

Rich Eastman - Harold & Joyce are my parents. I left Middle Arm in 87 and went to Mississauga. I moved to Arizona in 2002 and been here ever since. The closest I've been was a few years ago, we had a family reunion in Moncton at my brother's house.
Thanks for sharing your knife sharpening knowledge! I have a couple of kitchen knives that I use every day. I have to admit that I've been lazy with the sharpening this year, and just wanted a refresh on best technique before getting to it.
when you are sharpening the left side are you apply pressure your way or in front of you like the main bevel, thank you
super impressive
After seeing all the stones he went through , just about anything would be sharp. The real question is how long it will stay sharp.

Always wet sneeze onto your stone - mucous is the ancient secret to a truly fine edge. Every knife you get back from Kyle's shop uses this method. 🤧

I really felt those sneezes
I thought you displayed some good techniques there and a lot of close up work on the edges will make me do a bit more when I'm sharpening my knives. I don't have the expensive stones like you do but I do have a Japanese whetstone with 1000/3000 which I use occasionally. Well done and take some ibuprofen.
What grid is that hardware store tool stone? 80 grid?
All that wonderful hard work for such a sad knife.

There's a channel (run by a japanese guy I think) that makes knives out of all kinds of crazy shit, and gets them sharp by whetstone. It's pretty amazing what can be turned into a sharp knife, but I doubt most hold an edge for very long!
How long did it take you from the time you first started sharpening to the time you could make an edge like that? Also, will a $44 whetstone kit from Amazon, with 400, 1000, 2000 and 5000 grit, be good enough to sharpen like that? Great video! Get well soon.

It took me a few weeks, practicing daily, and being very adamant with my techniques and criticism. That was with a cheap smith 2-stone kit which was basically garbage... If those stones are at all decent, they will do it with good technique. Technique is KEY. Even with the best stones on the market, you'll get nothing of an edge if you don't know how

Strop abit slower and at a slightly steeper angle than your angle u sharpened at. This is becos leather is soft, and it will conform around the edge and Will round it of if u use the same angle.

Wait crap I meant shallower( I meant leant backward abit). Sorry
Good example, thx... and yeah, even the cheapest steels these days will still take a nice edge. And this one only took a few minutes to accomplish. Unlike some of the newer 'super steels', often taking over 2-3 times as long to sharpen, and also requiring much more 'aggre$$ive' abrasives. And where a cheap 440 or AUS 8 steel can be sharpened on a rock in the middle of nowhere.... on the other hand with something like, say D2, better go find some 'diamonds to sharpen that blade (and also hope there are no 'chips' to smooth)... cuz nuthin's ever 'free'!
Just want to say the sneezing / blowing your nose did not bother me at all in fact I laughed a few times. Both my wife and I sneeze a lot - sometimes, 7, 8,10 times in a row spaced out over a few minutes. Again I thought it was kind of funny .... leave that stuff in, It shows you’re a human being with super human sharpening skills 😀👍

In my experience with steel, Softer metals will take a fine edge, but they certainly will not hold up. Good for cutting soft butter but not much else. I am surprised you got it as sharp as you did. I wouldn't have the patience.
