    Lilly...sorry for the aggravation of repeated comments but my edit function is not working...I just refinished my Mora Triflex because they aren't made anymore so its time for more Mora😁i used 600 grit wet dry with WD40, ONE DIRECTION on the flats of the blade to remove scratches etc, then 1000 grit same way, then FLITZ. other than honest wear it looks brand new. I used my Spyderco TSM white triangle stones by hand to true up the Scandi. I've had the same TSM for 20 years. If you don't chip or break a Spyderco stone they last longer than we do!

    22:06, yes Lilly, the knife cutting edge needs to be moving .Lengthwise. along the whetstone while the knife cutting edge is moving crosswise. When you begin working the knife cutting edge on the whetstone, be sure to move it sideways too, don't hold it in one section. Otherwise it will wear the nerf along the sharp edge as you noticed. A machinist would say the sharp edge needs to be moved along the X axis while being moved along the Y axis. Thanks, I learned some things.

    I free hand sharpen with flat stones similar to the way you do it, however, I find that using honing oil, especially on the very coarser grit stones makes for a smoother way of drawing the knife across the stone thus making it easier to maintain the proper angle. For kitchen knives I find that drawing the knife across the stone in an angled "cutting" motion makes for a better edge. Always finish with a finer stone for a really keen edge. A barber friend of mine gave me a used strop which works great for de-burring the edge. For axes I use one of those "pucks" that have a different grit on each side. I soak those in water first. I have never used a diamond stone but would like to try. Thanks for sharing your technique, Lilly!

    Use a kitchen powdered cleanser like Comet and water to clean your ceramic stones or they will plug up with the swarf (bits of metal from the knife and ceramic from the stone) I use oil or at least water to float the swarf off the stone to keep it from plugging up. I have diamond stone 20 years old that feel perfectly smooth but still work just fine. You need to wash the stones for your sharpening system with the cleanser also they are pretty plugged up also. I would use those with oil also. I just use mineral oil it works great and is food safe as well as cheap. You will find your stones will work much better clean.

It seems very sharp. How it it ground? It does not look convex but maybe it is just my old eyes. I just ordered the Spyderco Stone using your link, I hope you get credit for it. Is there any reason one should not glue a strip of leather to the back of the Spyderco Stone to use it as a strop? Are you aware the CanadianPreper only has your knife for sale. I looked for some of your other APO items but could not find them. Is there somewhere I can buy them?

    What is best really depends on the person and their level of skill...A good bench stone set with stone holder is a must have if you're doing convex edges along with a good set of diamond plates for stone maintenance.....that clamp set is very similar to the KME in functionality...I do like the wider clamp though, and it looks like I'd be able to use my KME stones I already have a substantial investment in.....your DIY convex gadget has the right idea behind it....instead of sponge, use a piece of rubber (shore hardness of around 50) as your backing...you'll need to glue it to something hard to work in the stone mount...a bit more sturdy, but still gives enough to produce the convex edge.....also...use water on your stones as you're sharpening...even the diamond stones...they will last a lot longer

    Before risking to scratch the blade, I would stick multiple stripes of tape on both sides of the blunt edge on the paralel surfaces almost near thd cutting edge. For a convex edge I would rather grind three strokes on a fix angle, next three strokes a few degrees tilt. So I would have more control and uniformity grinding. The last passes just with low pressure for a smooth convex form. But saving the secondary angle (maybe 40*) for last, on the finest stone. But that’s just me, that sometimes sharpens his santoku and nakiri on wetstone (1000/3000, secondaty angle at about 25*)

    A diamond stone, no matter how fine, will leave a microscopic serrated edge. It is best to finish with a regular hard fine stone and maybe even a strop. A diamond stone is excellent for the initial stages of sharpening, especially on a duller blade. A diamond stone will remove material faster than a classic sharpening stone.

So maybe back and forth to set the edge (for a very worn edge), edge forward or trailing to set the edge and a final edge trailing for the finish.

    A convex edge is best for heavy cutting tasks (which is most in an outdoor/survival situation) however maintaining a convex edge is more difficult. Any “razor” edge will dull quickly regardless of the knives steel and should only be used for finer tasks (food prep). For packability diamond stones are generally lighter weight (the base is plastic with a diamond coating) and are generally fine for heavy use edges. Even a small diamond “steel” is good for a bugout bag where space is a premium. For camp type settings where space is more plentiful a set of diamond stones with maybe a couple of classic stones for finishing will do you fine. It is best to learn how to sharpen manually on a flat stone rather than the sharpening aids (as shown or other Lansky type (not sure who had it first)). If you can do it on a flat stone you can even use a found flat stone for sharpening in a pinch.

Kitchen knives can also be hardened higher than a camp knife. They will be harder to sharpen once dull but as you have found out a regular steeling can keep them sharp almost indefinitely. You would not have the same results if you used that knife to chop wood, cut bone, and generally use it in abrasive (I.e. dirt) environment. Even if you use the knife in a household to cut packaging, cardboard, strip/cut wire, etc. it will not perform as well. Camp knives are hardened to a softer point simply because it is easier to sharpen to an acceptable edge given the harsh environment that will dull any blade quickly. The only knives in my kitchen set (Wustoff) that ever need to see a stone are the steak knives which are the only ones used against a hard surface (ceramic plates). The rest have seen a stone only twice in their 30 years of use.

    The better way to convex an edge is to maintain the same angle at the apex but to erase the bevel shoulders by blending the edge bevel into the blade grind, creating a zero convex edge. This doesn't result in a blunter edge, and increases cutting efficiency by minimizing the drag / resistance caused by the bevel shoulders.

    For lower carbide steels like 154cm, vg10 and everything lower(also prefer them on zdp 189) I use either Shapton pro stones or edge pro stones. For higher carbide steels I use Venev diamond stones and Edge pro diamond matrix stones. I switch between guided system and free hand sharpening. Then I strop on kangaroo leather or basswood with diamond sprays or emulsions.

    all of that is very reasonable. i like the Shapton as well for on steels like you said, low alloy and chromium steels including zd189. but only for doing edges. for wider bevels I dont like to use those as they dont work great. the glass or naniwa chosera is better for wider bevels but they can also do edges, so they're more well rounded. Anyway for for vanadium steels, I was using SIC stones. which work just fine. tons of choices in the lower grits but my go to was always the 1k sigma select. which is green sic. Recently got the king neo 800 which is also green sic and cost me half as much as the others so thats the move. As far as bonded diamond IMO the Naniwa bonded diamond stones are better than either the Venev or the Edge matrix only issue is they don't have anything less than 400 grit. Which I guess is fine because even alumina works on vanadium steels in such course grits. But. a good low grit diamond bonded stone is a beast like nothing else. The ones i know of are the venev, the edge matrix and the nanohone which makes a 200 um one that is I think softer than the others and seems interesting. I just use a low grit sic stone or even an atoma for this use but i would like to get a very course bonded diamond stone. only thing is the diamond sprays or emulsions. are all over cost scams imo. you can get the same stuff in generic industrial form for literally CENTS on the dollar. You can get 5 grams of diamond in any grit you want for like $5 if you know where to look, and even tho this is small amounts it's enough for regular use to last a lifetime. Same thing from the scammy edc brands like "gunny" will cost you $100. I'd rather like the $5 for the same stuff.

    @@user-xf4es7eh9y I'd like to get some glass or chosera (I do have a 1x6 10k and love it) but they're much more expensive than Shapton. Same with Naniwa bonder stones. I'm sure they're awesome but they cost an arm and a leg. For the kitchen knives that I have (customs on Aeb-l and 14c28n and a Mcustacin SG2) Shaptons do a great job. For the folders and fixed blades on higher carbide steels I'm loving my edge pro matrix stones for 5he price (especially now that they cost almost the same as Venev but performs much better imo). I did buy a Suehero GO which is 8,000 and iirc the finest SiC stone you can get and I like it as a finishing stone sometimes. I hear you on diamond pastes and sprays. I bought a bunch of Venev pastes from Ukraine when I ordered some stuff for my Hapstone system and each tube was like $2 or less (only 125 micron was $5 and I got it just to try it out). I also have my 0.5 micron Hand American spray that was $20 for a huge bottle with 20 karats of diamonds that I bought in 2014 and it's still more than half full. I'd never pay $30-$50 for some pastes or sprays from these small brands when I doubt there's any difference between them and a $2 tube of Venev paste. You seem very knowledgeable and made some great points. What do you prefer to strop on? I'm a big fan of balsa, recently tried Hetinax and it's pretty good. But what I've really been impressed with are 3M medical tapes, especially micropore. It's great because it's cheap, you can easily replace it (great for trying out new compounds) one's it gets loaded, it has great feedback especially glued on some hardwood and it gives really toothy edges (my favorite is 7/5 micron but sometimes I'll go to 5/3 micron). Bought a 1" roll to try out on my 1x6 blanks and now I bought a 2" roll to use for my bench strop. Try them out, maybe you'll like them. Take care

    Emery cloth (or paper) uses emery (a special type of stone) as the abrasive with a cloth or paper backing. Emery boards are what some ladies use to sharpen their claws. A similar material is crocus cloth which uses fine metallic particles as the abrasive. Both of these are usually in the 300-400 grit range but finer ones may be available. Both of these are for use with metals. Sandpaper is generally for use with softer material such as wood. I don’t believe sandpaper will hold up very long when used against metal.

    Interesting, once I have a good edge I sharpen with a jade Stone to a razor edge. From that point I can simply maintain my edge with a barber strop that I've been using for the past 40 years. The quality of steel in the blade is very important. Most better quality knives are made from 1056 high carbon steel. I make my knives from s30v steel. Very expensive steel and working it can be a bit tedious but you'll have a knife that will out last your grandchildren.

    Personally I would recommend beginners don't use the tool but practice with a cheap stone / diamond synthetic stones and cheap knife. It won't take long to get the right technique and its much cheaper than the cost of those tools. I disagree about the waterstones, lack of edge with them is due to lack of skill not the stones, I have Japanese waterstones that i use for my knives and plane blades, i get a razor edge every time. They take time and more care but the edge (imo) is second to none.. You are using that rag between different stones and grits its possibly contaminating the finer grits with courser ones which will result in lost edge.

    If you had a channel and you had to advertise products, you would also suggest am expensive system, that would also need a lot of experience, to be able to use it and that only, as you said, from stone sharpening experience. I mean you are 100% right, but people, please understand, that gear ALL these Youtbe channels show, are fro mareting reasons. Also, most of them, don't know much about knives or sharpening, they just copy, what the last KZreadr said or showed...and that's how they make money...
