Great video....took two tries but I finally saw it! I concur with Mike. I really like the camera set-up and the desk is still there! Wouldn't be the same without it! LOL!
Great vid. I have seen so many folks doing the "scrubbing mothion" lol i guess if it works for them just never worked for me i like having more control over my work
I only had to warranty something once with DMT around a year ago and it was great overall. I had a 8" fine/extra fine and on the extra fine side some of the holes that should be recessed for swarf stuck up above the plate the tiniest little bit and you would feel the edge clip them. They just sent me a brand new one and I got to keep the old one. It did take maybe 3 weeks for me to get it eventually but the woman also sent me a fine credit card plate for your wallet and a fine diafold.
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 It wasn't a "old" plate it was brand new actually. That being said I have only ever had to warranty a new item not a used one. I was super happy I didn't have to send the defective one back. It was only the extra fine side that had a issue and you could still use it if you wanted to. It was a extra bonus opening it up and have a couple extra pocket stones as well. Also I gave the original plate to a guy at work for his woodworking stuff. It's kind of funny he never used diamond plates before but only a daily basis he uses diamond and cbn pastes to polish the parts we make in the tool room for the machines on the floor.
Great video, great edge. That Ken Schwartz stuff took that edge to extra quiet sharpness. I just ordered me some of that pasta goi compound though, really looking forward to it.
Me just getting into sharpening I have yet to run into the s35vn steel but I've been eyeballing a lt wright Jx2 with cpm 3v steel, whats your take on it as opposed to sharpening? Besides their knives coming to you dull that is.. lol
Well first off lt wright and battle horse knives are the same thing. And I had the model you are talking about, was highly dissatisfied. Chris Tanner designed that thing. But lt and battle horse has the best heat treat in the business. Peters heat treat. And if you are new to Sharpening you are gonna hate 3v it is not beginner friendly. I'd hang around the 01 tool steel dept of I were you.
Ahh okay well I will keep that in mind lol. I have an esee 4hm and izula, I really like the 1095 hc atleast what I've received from esee. Maybe I'll stick with the 1095 until I refine my technique for awhile then try and venture out to tougher stuff.
I am new to freehand sharpening. I recently bought a soft Arkansas from Dan's Whetstone and I wanted to know if I am doing this right. Every time I pass the blade I can feel the friction and it feels like I am scratching or shaving the surface of the stone and when I wipe the blade it leaves a black mark an my cloth. Thanks
As I said I'm many previous videos as well as this one, Dmts quality control anymore is garbage. They don't last like they used to. The bonding process they use is horrible. I've even seen some out of flat.
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 I had the same problems with DMT quality control. I was looking at Ultra sharp, and EZLAP. Are they both similar in quality?
Ever try sitting on a higher chair or stool when sharpening? It's easier for me if I'm more above the stone. I can work longer before it starts to hurt.
What sharpening stuff did you use for this knife cause I got the same one and I use watering stones and I feel I didn’t get the best edge on my blade I used 600-1000-6000-12000 stones and a strop but didn’t get the best edge
Yes I do, I have one specifically on the subject. And I almost always reprofile at the beginning of each video where I do a full sharpening. This one I did not.
I can't remember the company but on a Michael Christie video he used diamond wet stones that I'd like to try low grits on. Would have to flatten every once n a while but they look like they'd last for quite a while. They might suck too but i can't find any other videos about them. Love the videos dude!
Thanks man, and they are called veneve or something like that. They are absolutely outrageous in price. And the people I've talked to that use them like them, but wear quickly. Not all of us can be lucky enough to get the sponsors that he has
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 they have multiple sizes the biggest being 8x3. They are all double sided Stones with choices of how much diamond concentration is in the stone. Most expensive 8x3s have 2mm thick of resin bonded diamond so if the diamonds get pulled out for any reason the 2mm takes a long time to get thru. They don't cut as deep as DMT Stones so picture more of the fjnish u get from Arkansas Stones vs the toothy DMT edges. As for wearing out quickly I have yet to see it first-hand unless they are soaking the Stones instead of splash and go. Vitrified bond needs to soak not resin bonded Stones.
I like the camera angle a lot. It is nice to see a bit of your face as you are sharpening.
Cool
Chris teaching us to sharpen is like an old man cutting an apple with his pocket knife. When they say something...you would be smart to listen.
Lol right

Well thank you. And I almost got rid of that thing in the move.

I've got a different method when it comes to scandi and convex
Nice video Chris. Always a new learning tip here and there to learn from.
I've been thinking about getting me a finer grit one.

How much would you sell the old one for??? And then, of course, wanna sell it?
Old what? Dmt plate?

@@konnan216 that's fine, but I don't know what you mean. Whatever
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 Are you asking about what was wrong with the plate?
Great video, great edge. That Ken Schwartz stuff took that edge to extra quiet sharpness. I just ordered me some of that pasta goi compound though, really looking forward to it.
I rarely use the Ken schwartz stuff. But being the steel it was, I just done a quick edge on it.

@@SgtBaconFace esee is my other favorite heat treat. Rowen's 1095 is bad ass. Damn near bullet proof. 3v will take quite a bit of time to master.

Sounds like you are.
Nice video
Any reason that you are switching to ultra sharp or ez lap in stead of but dmt again?
As I said I'm many previous videos as well as this one, Dmts quality control anymore is garbage. They don't last like they used to. The bonding process they use is horrible. I've even seen some out of flat.
When you replace your diamond stone(s) what brand will you use since you are not going to buy DMT?
Ultra sharp or ez lap

I've always sat like this. That's how I do it

Ditch the water stones. And watch the whole video

@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 text messages. Sorry rough headache today. Not thinking straight Chris.
I haven't checked previous videos. Do you have a video about reprofiling a blade?
Yes I do, I have one specifically on the subject.
And I almost always reprofile at the beginning of each video where I do a full sharpening. This one I did not.
Search "reprofile Rough Rooster" lists several.

Yeah must be nice. Guess I won't be tryin em.
@@mattoakley2246 me either. I don't go with the fads. I go with what works.
These guys here like bench stones. There is no point in attempting a full Sharpening on pocket stones. Just saying

I am carrying that knife today, surgical black finish
The dlc coating.
Satin and carbon fiber
