@@TitanMorsche what?

@@gerardvanengelen9001 thanks. Sure, on some tools it matters, but in the world of kitchen knives where some people are obsessed with the exact angle, my point is that it matters less than most people think. For hundreds of thousands of years no one could sharpen at any exact angle. Even today anyone who uses a manual bench stone is guessing and probably introducing a range of different angles along the edge.

@@wimbraber944 nonsense. Take a piece of paper and tear it from top to bottom then from side and to side and you'll see that paper definitely has a "grain" direction.

@@jennig8824 bring 'em round.

@@feralgrandad4429 upon further discussion we've concluded that they must be referring to honing on the rod. Given that honing only refers to treating (straightening the edge and any burrs that may have developed over time) the edge it's the only thing that makes sense.

My aim is to "just press record" and put out 1,000 movies then assess.

@@jani8362 happy you got something out of it. You have a T8?

@@iSharpenI ordered one yesterday much thanks to your inspirational videos. So now I try to learn as much as possible before I get it delivered. I have always liked knifes and axes so to learn how to sharpen them seems like a natural progression.

@@jani8362 So cool! Send Tormek an email telling them I influenced you to buy a T8. My aim is for them to reach out to me and then for me to convince them to donate one for me to give away. I have more Tormek T8 videos on my channel than anyone in the (known) universe but I've not heard anything from them. They don't like to sponsor or discount or do giveaways but hopefully if we all pitch in we can change their minds on this one day.

@@iSharpen Will do 👍🏻

@@feralgrandad4429 thanks. Good to have you on board.

@@lukasz.adamski that might be true if the first generation of these knives but they quickly changed the steel to a normal kitchen knife steel. All the Huusks I've sharpened have been of the second generation normal steel. They last as long as a normal chef knife. Probably similar to an X45.

@@iSharpen Thanks for the info. If they are better now then maybe I'll give them a second chance. This knife is strangely balanced, thick and uncomfortable to hold but it looks cool. Who wouldn't like to have a fantasy, "orcish dagger" in his kitchen? ;)

@@lukasz.adamski don't pay too much. They're made in Lithuania I think.

@@iSharpen It's always good to get advice from someone who has the right knowledge. May I ask what would be the right price for such knife? They weren't really expensive. As far as I remember they cost a bit less than $30 in my country but probably it's possible to get them cheaper.

@@lukasz.adamski $5 at a garage sale. Free as a gift...etc not worth getting excited about. I'd rather discover an old Wusthof or something of known class and value.

@@seanirving808 sanding is quicker and the belt doesn't seem to mind. I've been using that same belt for years now.. If you notice, I dip it in water very often to keep it cool.

@@Phil.D333 when it's really cold (rarely) I have a fire going just outside the door. The wind brings in the heat.

I actually copied the curve from a small santoku. She loves it!

I presume you mean Smee. I'll take it. Even though I'm Australian and he was British. Close enough.

No, the Tormek doesn't touch the sides that high up. It only works on the bevel. That's pre-existing damage.

Absolutely. This is very rare.

He actually had his own channel but it was removed along with my old channel when I offended the (then) super woke powers at YT after some extreme leftists complained and wanted me cancelled because I made jokes about woke people. They won and I was cancelled but his channel was attached to mine so we both lost our channels at the same time. He's actually a very lively doggo with antics and hilarity worth filming.

@@iSharpen Whats his name mate? And whats yours? Fuck them snowflakes!

The Tormek system is based on the traditional fixed stone system but instead the wheel rotates in a water trough for an added industrialised aspect and has a guided rail system to keep the angles precise and even. It's bloody brilliant in my view. It's a bit like cheating but my customers love it. I've measured before and after on the BESS sharpness scale and can get knives 2-5 times sharper than factory.

@iSharpen super cool!!

Thanks Christopher, sadly I haven't been granted an export permit yet (my application is in - waiting to hear back from the government) so I can only sell within Australia. I expect to hear back from them sometimes between today and a few weeks from now. Latest by end of November. Once granted an export permit I'll be able to sell to any country, state or province that will allow them (except California because they suck). So standby, and make sure you're subscribed with notifications all the way on so you don;t miss out. There are only limited numbers of hand picked tails that I'll sell as strops as they need to be the highest possible quality for stropping. The ones I see being sold around the place at the moment have very low or no ridges. Mine are old males with very pronounced ridges, that's important.

Call or message me, we'll do a facetime call so you chose a tail with my help and I express post it to you.

@@morgangraves7276 Hahahahahah why?

I'm liking 32 degrees total these days.

@@iSharpen Me too, but any thing from 30-35° total is good. Depends on the knife. Nice job as usual, Baz.

@@lyonsharpeningservice2896 thanks. I made a video about them here th-cam.com/video/6GQTnw4-p_4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m-zhlHmwGMYyND73

I think it was accidentally dropped and cracked then it came off during a pumpkin cut.

Should be here in a few weeks.

Watch this video. It explains fully th-cam.com/video/6GQTnw4-p_4/w-d-xo.html

Yep, and to chop frozen meat.

The owner has left a comment on this video. She knows. Picks it up tomorrow.

@@lone-wolf-1 neither do I. Good eye.

@@randomfpv22 nothing's off the table except Diddy parties and crazocrats.

@@iSharpen well I did just see the latest short of you making all the right noises! Haha. So the Italian Bunga Bunga parties are in! Let me make a call right quick

@@randomfpv22 that was supposed to sound like Homer drooling.

@@iSharpen same same!

One of my best efforts. You'll hopefully be surprised at how sharp it is.

Thanks Roland. I'm glad to hear you're picking up what I'm putting down. As for redemption, I needed it for myself and this knife could not have turned out better. It's perfect! Appreciate your support.

That's why I made it Dean. When I was starting out there was precious little in the way of "slow down and tell me everything I need to know". I'm really glad it helped you. And...I know right?! Insane. I'm going to re-invest all that money back into the channel. Good things coming. Stay tuned. Glad to hear from you. Say more things. ;-)
