I don’t know about cheep but I bought a worksharp hand held that has 2 diamond plates adjustable ceramic round bar with a built on strop and I can put a empty toilet paper roll on the table and slice into it from the side on an angle without touching the roll and complete the cut like it was butter. It’s a great addition to a back pack or camping gear as well and has a built in 20 degree guide as well. Great small investment for someone with bad eyes that can’t seem to keep the same angle on a regular flat stone 🫠

You make a point my metalworking and technical drawing teacher made nearly six decades ago, in that the striations caused by sharpening a tool (knife in this case) ought to be parallel to the direction of travel of the cutting tool, perpendicular to the cutting edge, and that the "micro serrations" that arose were beneficial. Milling cutters sharpened on a surface grinder, with striations running parallel to the cutting edge will blunt quicker, too...

In another one of his videos he did talk about the edge retention of horizontal scratch patterns too.
One of the most important things that I learned about knife sharpness it that it's not about what it's going to cut but about what it should NOT be cutting. It makes easier to do first aid and subsequent medical treatment to a wound that suffered a sharp cut than it is to a wound that suffered a dull cut.

I wonder what mechanisms they employed to accomplish that task without attending formal training? This low level of intellectual engagement is emblematic of a particular political party’s persona today that has thrust its backwardness onto our country. A country that at one time used to reward intellectual engagement instead of denigrating it. Americas intellectual standing worldwide has placed itself outside of the top 20 countries. America has the best educational institutions globally. But if you notice, the student population is increasingly more non-citizen and the result shows right here.

I know you're half joking but my policeman mate literally had to explain to me that sharpening something more than it was sharpened when new is actually 'adapting' an improvised weapon and places a higher presumption of guilt/malicious intent on us if we're stopped carrying it in public. Amazing country to live in.

In the US we carry firearms, and use our knives to cut apples

@centauri9458 Our knives could possibly cut butter but only on a warm day.
!!! Maybe you are splitting Atoms !! Or are you just pushing them apart ??
Love the close ups shots, great video, cheers :)
I like the explanation of the scratch patterns. The microscope videos are also very interesting! I have tried some macro photography before and it was a lot harder to do than I thought.
Fantastic photography.
I have one of these for garden tools like shears loppers and machetes. Good tool for that stuff
Always found the sandstone backdoor step works for me !!!
Found your channel looking for tips on sharpening. I keep watching because of the cool shots and good humour.
