Those close up DJI camera shots are incredible and really help me as the viewer get a better feel and understanding of the flow, movement and rhythm of your work.
Stopped by your Howie’s location a couple weeks ago and agree it’s a great place to offer sharpening services! High visibility from SG Bl and Duarte. Being at Howie’s and next to San Marino/East San Gabriel means you get higher income and more discerning customers. They are more likely to be informed about the need to sharpen knives and are more enthusiastic cooks/foodies. You may also do good business at the Trader Joe’s/CVS right up the street, or any supermarket in South Pasadena.
i hope you're just busy and haven't stopped making videos - I have a kalamazoo and may try to modify it like yours. My favorite belt is the leather one, just finishes off the knife so well. Thanks for making your videos.
i watch Curry cutlery , as well as just finding your video's, I do sharpening a well but more as a hobby , I'm in Australia by the way. like you i get some very damaged edges, , i generally sort them on a white allox wheel on a grinder. but i have just acquired a Ryobi 1 x 30 belt grinder with a 5" disc, and mitre table. I currently use a wet stone grinder , then a 600Grit oil stone and hone on a MDF wheel with hyperfin metal polish, i find this works well for me , but I'm always looking for better options, like you I also don't charge as much as others , as i find people are more likely to come back if you do a good job and don't rip them off. Some sharpeners down here charge $1.00 a blade inch, i charge a flat rate, $5.00 a blade and if damaged an extra $5.00 to rectify. cheers from Australia. good videos, may be a bit more on your sharpening method , the belt grits and technique, please
Hi steven, do you ever sharpen scissors? If so, would you be willing to do a tutorial? I just started knife sharpening on the side and literally had my first actual customer this afternoon. One of the first requests i got online was scissor sharpening.
New subsciber from Fairbanks Alaska about to start my own knife sharpening service , and i only have one question for you..your trays you use to hold your customers knives in...where did you get them and how much are they each? by the way , i love your content and you are one of my top 3 inspirations for helping me get my knife sharpening business off the ground thank you
You have 3 machines on the front table, does each machine have different grit on the belts so you can move to each machine instead of changing belts every time?
Do you do mail-order sharpening? Like.. can I send you some knives to sharpen? You get my knives, give me an estimate along with a link to your favorite payment method and you mail ‘em back to me…? 🙂
Change to a large waterwheel not the belts. Its far better. One flat japanese wheel and one round.. Depending the blades, you will never look at a belt again

Interesting setup! love your machines. You should make a video on your machines!
Looks like Kalamazoo 1SMVP 1 X 42 Inch

Dude I really enjoy your videos, hopefully you’ll upload another one soon
Watched this while high, didn’t know knife sharpening could be so interesting haha. Keep it up, this is great content ❤❤
Anythings entertaining if you have a good personality
Hi Steven,
Your videos are inspiring me and your smile makes me believe I can be successful starting a sharpening business.
Would love a video on knife reviews shun vs. Miyabi and other Japanese alternatives you would recommend.
I'd also like to see a video on your setup! I run a Kalamazoo but a step down from what you're using. Are those stock plattens or mods/aftermarket?
Would love to see you sharpen some folding knives. I can send you some higher end production folders if you want to make some content.
Sounds like someone fishing for some free sharpening. 🤔
You have 3 machines on the front table, does each machine have different grit on the belts so you can move to each machine instead of changing belts every time?
Nice job with that Shun. I wanna see more before and after.
Great video! What machines are you using? 2x42"?
😊
"I don't see any microscopic teeth."
So what knives would you recommend for professionals who need something top quality?
Like your videos. I was wondering what wheel you use on a scalloped knife?
So are you sharpening all the knifes at the same angle?
Great vids! What grit belts do you use? Thanks for the content.
More vids dude!
I enjoy a high end kitchen knife that is fairly soft, it makes them take a hone much better and you can stay razor sharp if you hone like a butcher.
Pick up some 3m Nexcare bandages, I find they're the only ones that really stick to my hands!
Anyone know where I can get those safety goggles??
Steven, what is your thoughts on the new Magna Cut Steel ?
Another great video! Love the knife POVs
Made in had a 12.5 degree edge and modern zwilling are 15, so naturally made in will roll faster
Getcha some super glue for those little knife nicks, works great !
how much experience do you have in knife sharpening? love your vids!
ive ran into misen knives that have pits and soft spots.
That's wasn't a lamb chop. that was Rack of Lamb my dude. Like the vids. Rock on.
What belt grinders are you using I’m looking to start a sharpening service like yours in Chicago
How can I get a hold of one of those wallets?
Any thoughts on the Zwilling bob kramer knives?
What’s the name of your belt sharpener equipment?
Can you sharpen machetes scaple sharp
I hope you are doing well and continue to make videos.
Hi, what grit are you using to sharpen?
Dude! Whats the denim pillow for? 🙏🙏🙏
Where do you get your knife trays?
Steven, what are you stropping on? The pillow looking thing
Denim
Where is the new content!!??
How do you feel about global knives?
I love your videos so much.
Yes!! Sunblock is important 😎
De onde você é?
Sir, you’ve got to do equipment video. What you like, need and dislike. How to video.
New skin for the cuts
Do you do mail-order sharpening? Like.. can I send you some knives to sharpen? You get my knives, give me an estimate along with a link to your favorite payment method and you mail ‘em back to me…? 🙂
Yup! Message me on Instagram @steven_sharpens
Change to a large waterwheel not the belts. Its far better. One flat japanese wheel and one round.. Depending the blades, you will never look at a belt again
