Where do you get knife sheaths from

Great video. I thought stropping was best done edge trailing. I noticed you did edge leading. Any particular reason why?

I totally support the american flag.I don't know if I'd want to be getting metal shavings on it.

Great setup. I used to have a Work Sharp knife "Original" sharpener, which worked well until I broke it. 😒 I still have a Workshop 3000, which is great for establishing edges on chisels and plane blades. After that, I use diamond stones -- up to 8000 grit. I also have several Work Sharp kitchen and field sharpeners, and they all work well. I have given them as gifts to friends and family. I am eyeing a Work Sharp Ken Onion Mk 2, similar to what you are using, so I really appreciate your videos on this subject. Thanks!

I was really happy with my stitching pony . It was a different model . It was $14.85 and I got it in Wa state in 2 days . It holds nice and tight . I was also real happy with the waxed thread i bought from temu . The thread I bought from Tandy was $2.99 for 25 yards . I bought thread that seems to be the same diameter as I buy at Tandy , but in 284 yards for $4.48 . I cant see any difference in the thread , so I bought 15 spools of it in different colors .

Did you guys put rehab coordinator on one for me?

So you’re not attempting to match the angle of the knife given to you, but reforming the edge to fit your predetermined angles. Is this simply a time issue both on the initial knife and the return of the same knifes for touch up? Other than sometimes removing more material from the blade then is necessary , are there other disadvantages you might see? Do any customers,if they know enough, ask for their angles to be matched? How do you handle this? Do you do the same for your own knifes when time and volume aren’t an issue?

So rather than determining the angle of the knife given to you, you force a new angle on it? Is this just to save time?

Thanks. Cold peening worked for me. It's unsightly but it serves my needs

Do you happen to have a link for the BB's

Have you ever used this to profile a knife from a tool steel blank?

A note on the reassembly (at th-cam.com/video/L-7iO8reZuY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wlIfQTv3u8BIXwsN&t=861): those are Belleville washers, not wave washers--both a type of spring washer--and the flange nut should go against the stack of Belleville washers with the smaller nut next to act as a jam nut. The flange nut offers a larger surface for the Belleville to press against. You can also reverse one or two of the Belleville washers to change the springiness (i.e., spring constant). Good, concise video, though.

What grit belt on the worksharp?

Unless your sound and video arent synced, It would appear that you are not sharpening all the way to the tip of the blade

Do your professional chefs say that your 12000 grit sharpening makes their knives too smooth to cut a tomato or other food items easily?

Sorry, I'm not convinced that watching you drag the knife across your hi tech machine is worth my time. I want to see the new edge after you sharpen. Cutting paper is the least or my interest.

Hey brother, I just ordered a workshop ko mk2. I have been using a grizzly 1 x 30 variable speed. On sale now for $134.00... beats the heck outta the worksharp price but I will give it an honest try . I want to like it because of the size and weight. 👍

Im getting back into trying to figure out knife sharpening after i gave up uears ago. I have the onion with grinding attached. And a harbor frieght 1x30. The harbor frieght rpm's seem too high.

How are you controling the angle of the edge you are creating? Just going by feel? thanks

Where did you find your insurance? I’m sure it’s just a liability policy. How much was it? Thanks

But whyy do you use the worksharp?

I’m a retired firefighter/paramedic (LT for last 8 yrs of my career). Considering a side hustle providing knife sharpening. Wish I had thought of this when I was still on the job. It would probably be a full-time gig by now had I planned it right. Could still be. Great video! I’ll keep watching for more tips. Thanks!

Is the belt spinning towards you are away from you? Nice job on the blades.

Not at all. I use mine every day for my business. That have paid for themselves 20 times over.

I order from Temu at least once a week, and I’m very rarely disappointed with the quality of what they send. When I’ve received something that isn’t quite what the listing described, I submit a refund request, and they either give an instant credit to my Temu balance or refund the original payment method without any hassle at all. I’ve never had to send anything back to get a refund either. The Crazy Horse leather looks just like the Crazy Horse leather panels I’ve seen on BuckleGuy’s website. I’m actually wearing a Temu Crazy Horse leather bracelet right now that I cut & engraved a while back on my xTool M1. It’s a good weight for making leather hat patches and koozies. Thanks for sharing your Temu haul!

Thanks for sharing this great info. I considered several 1x30 grinders, and the Kalamazoo 1x42. The compact size is a big reason I went with the Work Sharp. Question: how fast do you run your Work Sharps?

You got a selfish ugly attitude; you don't throw equipment around like trash. Stay away from steel.

Buy yourself a dust extractor

Завтра посмотрю - принесли нож - я его точил раньше...

Subscribed 😊 I am a sharpener...

God bless you brother , I'm also a vet.

Ive got 1 of the ken onion blade grinding editions and a wicked edge system. Wicked edge gets sharper edges but is slower if you're fixing damaged edges or if reprofiling. I tend to use the wicked edge for pocket knives and the ken onion for bigger blades and tools ( axes, machetes etc).

What grit do you normally stop at when it comes to d2?

Great video! Thanks for sharing your process. What's your pricing for paper cutter sharpening?

Does anyone know if this is an attachment? I have the Ken Onion version, which it looks like he has as well, but it looks a lot different. Is this a better way to sharpen knives than what comes stock?

Curious if the glass cutter and other tools were as expected after using them? Were there any surprises or issues with them lasting after initial uses?

Not a pro,but enjoy your instructional/learning video!

Can we talk about those WELL used pairing knives 😂 I wonder if that was intentional or not

What do you use for a power source when mobile?

Yep, even number of passes on both sides alternatively is the proper way to sharpen knives. 😎👍 How much do you charge per knife, may I ask? Thanks.

Thank you for all the great information you show to us. I am practicing with the ko I Just bought and I am learning quickly. It's a very good, well made unit. There is just one thing I am worried about and that's the dust. It's very bad for your lungs. I use it now only outside and with a dust mask. You really should protect yourself and it's even more important for you because you run a sharpening business so you must inhale a lot of dust and fine dust without protection. Success with your nice business.

Great tutorial.... But on other things. In order for you to be offended about the flag you first would have to value that person's advice, BUT YOU DON'T. probably some brainless idiot. Ok, back to the show.

Professional all 1 by 30 systems or the larger round stones in water bath.

I almost bought a work sharp but did a little research and got a 1 by 30 inches wood sander added. an array of ceramic sharpening belts from course down to 5000 grit an adjustable angle guide a leather strop and am probably still under the price of a work sharp with attachments. The sharpening guild's Chanel the place to see how the professional operates.

Buddy, there is no information here...

You mention convex salon shears in the description. How do you sharpen those on a TAS?

Great information! I have bought the Ken Onion sharpener with the attachment but have been finding the belts are not lasting. Just had the x4 explode while running. Would that be the quality of the belt or user error? I am hoping to start my sharpening business in the future but need to iron out these issues.

Thanks for the video. Just ordered one of these.

Ty for the great video. Tell me more about the drop box please. Is it just a box on your porch or place of business? Does it lock somehow? Do you put knives in for more than one customer at a time? So many questions because ive been try to figure out how my customers can drop off and pick up safely without me being there.

We get about $2.00 an inch to sharpen in northern Illinois.
