Another skill you have shared, I have been doing it wrong. You never disappoint in your presentations. Thank you again for always sharing your knowledge and wisdom my Friend!!!
Thank you for the tip. I pulled out my stones and started sharpening while watching the video. One thing that I have noticed is, I think there’s. A big difference between the quality of stones. Seems like I go get the machinist quality stones and they are much better.
I let my carry knives get pretty dull before I take the time to sharpen them. Should stay better on top of it. I think you're right on that. I pick them up whenever they're on garage sales. They all work but there are only a couple that I'm used to and behave just exactly how I like.
Nice video about sharpening. I have a question. Why use oil? Why would we need a lubricant in the removal of metal from the edge of the blade when the lubricant inhibits the removal of metal? The oil allows the blade to slide over the stone and inhibits the cutting of the metallic particles we are trying to remove. Water offers a clean and unhindered passage of the blade edge to abrade against the stone letting the stone do its work. Removing metal and cleanly flushing away built up metal particles. It's worth a try.
That's a good question. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Simply, my understanding is that some stones are more suited for oil based on how porous they are. An advantage to oil is that it doesn't evaporate as quickly and can be used longer. It's also said that oil provides a more smooth sharpening motion. I understand your argument that a smooth motion may be somewhat counter-productive. That might be valid. It might be possible that a smooth motion may limit vibration and create a more even removal of metal particles. I haven't researched the subject at this depth so I'm only speculating. This is one of the better articles I found on the general question: sharppebble.com/blogs/blogs/making-the-cut-the-debate-between-water-and-oil-for-sharpening-stones?srsltid=AfmBOopDqFJWutoJ0eua9WHH7LAIkHqKr7dFJ1w4Yhl2uYQ0zlIEXUx3
Good question, most times you'll run into oil stones. If you put a few drops of water on a used oil stone you should see that rainbow shine of water mixing with oil, and the water won't absorb well.
You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch. My wife sings in the church choir. Carol on accordion is a local musician I've known and played with for years. I think she's quite talented. But I'm done playing gigs. Got too tired and got behind in my shop.

My pleasure! I'm no big expert but it's sure nice to think you might find some use in the demonstration!
hello ozzie,good to see you. nice knife for woodcarving.
Thank you Ronald. Thanks for turning up! Do you carve?
I sharpened up my pocket barlow that day too.
Great tutorial Mr. Ozzie. I've been using 3 in 1 oil. I'll have to give mineral oil a try.
Thank you very much! Give it a try, works good for me.

When buying a used stone,how do you tell the difference from water to oil stone ?
Good question, most times you'll run into oil stones. If you put a few drops of water on a used oil stone you should see that rainbow shine of water mixing with oil, and the water won't absorb well.
Thanks Ozzie. Good to see you agn. Thanks s was very useful information for me. Does your wife play the squeezebox?
