Good idea . I may take this design and put my own spin on it for some of my irregular blades that dont fit my sharpner jig clamps . Thanks for this :-)
A truly sharp knife possesses only three surfaces, while a dull knife exhibits four. The sharpening process effectively restores the blade to its optimal state of three surfaces. I must commend the sharpening system you employ, as it appears to be quite effective, albeit somewhat laborious. In contrast, my own sharpening technique utilizes stationary honing surfaces in conjunction with a movable blade. Even the dullest knife can be revitalized by commencing with a 250-grit diamond plate to establish the desired edge profile. Subsequently, four additional diamond plates are employed (in order), followed by a flat of compound impregnated leather (50,000 grit), and a flat of plain leather. This rigorous process culminates in knives that exhibit exceptional sharpness, requiring minimal effort to slice. Furthermore, the sharpening angle is remarkably straightforward to master. 🙃

@@DrewJacobson61 The servers are back online. How old is dirt? The concept of dirt's age is multifaceted and encompasses various considerations. Recently formed soil, commonly referred to as dirt, originates from the composting of organic matter, a technique frequently employed by horticulturists to enhance soil quality. Earthworms, for instance, possess the ability to generate new soil within a relatively short timeframe, typically measured in days. Moreover, the Earth undergoes continuous geological transformations, leading to the emergence of novel geological formations. Volcanic eruptions result in the production of fresh lava, which subsequently solidifies into rock, thereby forming the most recent landforms. Processes such as erosion and weathering contribute to the breakdown of existing rock into smaller particles, which, when combined with organic matter, constitute the foundation of soil. Consequently, the formation of "dirt" is an ongoing process driven by these natural phenomena. 😎 ZXLMaster
And how do you sharpen a knife with a point? A pocket knife? A pearing knife? A karambit? This is a n nice idea, but has a long way to go before u can sharpen "any knife"
@tipsintelligent2605 for us? For us what? What the hell does that answer mean? Am I just not smart enough to understand what u mean? Does It only work for you and no one else? 🤔 Well, that's kinda messed up don't you think? You're not racist are you? Lol
I just bought a lawnmower blade sharpener, one of the diamond sharpeners, and eyeball the angle. Medium pressure on both sides with a light pressure to remove the edge burr as a final pass. It's quick, and with repeated use the knife retains the angle of the sharpening grooves on the cutting edge. If further honing is required, a ceramic rod or the underside of a ceramic coffee mug will do the trick. The unglazed ring on the base of the coffee mug is equivalent to a ceramic rod. And, as pretty much everyone has some, is cheaper than buying a ceramic rod.
@@alanrobinson4318 yeah, the one we had at the shop used sandpaper about a inch wide. Lay your lawn mower blade down and only 3 swipes on each side and you're done. Lot better than the other way of using a hand grinder
I don’t get all the hate and trash talk here 😂 this is a pretty creative diy for folks that can’t free hand! And definitely cheaper than other pre-made rigs. Would take a little time to make it but looks like it works well!
So this is a great DIY sharpener and I do respect that. However since there are multiple different angles for different knives. I would make a slot instead of a single hole. Where it would be adjustable to different angles. Also with the clamp/hinges on top. Maybe a little better to get something smooth and grips. Maybe something nylon. Like soft grips for a vice. Just so the blade isn’t getting scratches. My Benchmade for example has a coating on the blade. Just some feedback to make it a little better.
Great jig for sharpening some knife profiles. Great concept and well thought out. Dont pay attention to the Trolls who think they can do it better . Most can’t.
Wonder what the Angle measurement is he took off the block of wood to fasten the hinges to hold the knife in place? Also , the angle of the side hinges for the pvc roller? Will this tool work on any size and shape of knife?
This is an easy and relatively inexpensive method using regularly available hardware store items and would seem to work for most fixed angle sharpening needs. It's probably better than removing too much metal using a basic pull through Sharpener.
@@dgtv71 How do you figure that? See how long the board is, that's the length of the knife that can be sharpened, make a longer one if needed, you might have to add another hinge is about it
Bro, this is great for someone that only needs to keep one or two knives sharp, I would think tweaking those screws would allow for some width adjustment too. I personally don’t need something like this but I know quite a few that would be very happy with such a cheap set up.
I think it’s an excellent video. People are complaining when you don’t have much resources and some nations you do what you Gotta do to get that thing sharpened. Excellent video man excellent video.
Awesome. This is cheaper and more fun than a spyder sharpen system and I’ll use it for axe heads or big yard knives. A pinched blade and two oppositely mounted sticks of sharpening material is still supreme. This is still great and will always work
My technique is a little different. I gather all the blades I need sharpened and organize them by size. Then I drive them to a shop at Main and 17th, and drink coffee while a nice old guy sharps the blades.
I love watching these videos. Not because I get anything useful out of them. Because it's funny to see what these people come up with. Btw, I can sharpen most knives in under a minute
30 seconds knife. A minute if it is extremely dull. That's how long it takes me to sharpen freehand. So I can sharpen between 8 and 16 knives within this 8 minute video😂
So you need 3 hinges? A block of wood, a stick, a tube... handful of screws... and THEN the whetstone? My gpa could spit on the whetstone and have it sharp in 20-30sec. It takes me 1-2min
Way too much background noise. I listened for about 10 minutes. Then I just cut it off. Come back a little later and lift this comment.Please cut down on the background.Noise the next video you put out
@@shikutoai belt sanders are literally used when making knives. As long as you don't get the edge hit enough to ruin the heat treat you won't have any issues.
Sorry but this is not the fastest. I will keep my select tool knife sharpener. It sharpens any knife, scissors or any blade quicker and better then your method
About as fast as a week in jail 😂
That's a very slick jig 🙂
I sharpened 20 knives freehand in the same time it took to do one by this method.

Finally ! someone else who uses a wetstone by hand and hones on a coffee mug!!!! 5 minutes and blades are like razors, this video took way too long.
I would call this the, "While you're growing a beard method."

wow that is sharp!
Learning to use whet stones is faster than that.

Why don’t you just use a whetstone? Sooo much easier.
okay
By the time ya done all that i had my knife sharp enough to shave with
Or you know, since you have a whetstone right there, use it?
whats the green stuff
I use two stones. Freehand the angle on each. Works just fine.
Mad sanding skills
Smart choice to pick a knife with a straight edge. In any case, calling this "the easiest" verges on the insane.
ok
@@gdevelek he said fastest
@@driftydoristv Yes indeed, but the remark stands.

sorry
I went the store to buy all this stuff to make this, luckily the store sold a knife sharpener.
Initially you tested on your hand before sharpening, but you didn't test on your hand again after sharpening
noooo
good ideas, very sloppy and cumbersome execution. a good sharpening jig can be helpful, but you're better off using freehand than this thing
nooo
Or buy a knife sharpener.
@@tersan8547 I've gone thru all the scrap lumber I have trying to draw a straight line like shown
This would be a great way put a stress fracture in your blade while flattening the apex

Good design.
Not bad for a hack job

Why not just freehand like old fashioned
okay
Unintelligent comment
30 seconds knife. A minute if it is extremely dull. That's how long it takes me to sharpen freehand. So I can sharpen between 8 and 16 knives within this 8 minute video😂

When I want to test how blunt a knife is I test it on my wrist or neck, it's more accurate that way.
I’m pretty sure that’s not the ‘fastest’ way.
ok

@@shikutoai belt sanders are literally used when making knives. As long as you don't get the edge hit enough to ruin the heat treat you won't have any issues.
