    Great video sir.
    I've got an old and almost worn out diamond hone that I use to sharpen my razor blade knife razors. It does pretty quick work. I haven't changed a razor blade on my leather cutting knife in about 2 years. Sharpened it plenty of times though.
    Great technique! I've learned a lot on this video. Thank you.

    I have one of those 4 sided diamond sharpeners from Harbor Freight. If it's all you can get it's OK. I like the continuous plates direct out of China. They're a little more money but a lot finer. I really only use the 1,000 grit one for honing. After that I polish on Spyderco ceramic hones.

    I bought a set with 400/600/800/1200 plates off of Amazon for a few dollars more and they are fantastic, still work almost as good as new a year later.

      Yeah, I’m surprised how good these cheap ones are 😁

      The problem with those is that they are only 6 inches long, but you can get a set of 4 for $11. I found a 12 inch alternative that is set into a half inch aluminum plate for $29 that has 400/1200. I plan on using that one for plane blades and supplementing with sandpaper on granite as needed

      @@liquidrockaquatics3900 I use 9"x3" plates for sharpening. That's plenty big enough to use a sharpening jig on them. I pay $6.36 each for those but they only come on thin metal. So I glued mine down to some scrap acrylic.

    It's useless to test if they can sharpen or not: diamond is diamond, it sharpens softer material, period. The issue with cheap diamond stones is that they don't last long: the electroplating is of bad quality ... which means that you will use it a small numbers of times and then have to throw them in the bin or constantly ruin your edges and lose both time and your mind.

    How long does the dust last 🤔 That's the issue I have with the cheapo diamond sharpening systems.

      Depends on what they used to cement it down. I have some KME diamond plates that are made very vary well.

      @@DDs878 The diamond stones are pretty good for the price. Use them on anything that needs sharpening except small chisels that catch in the holes. I wet them with water to carry away the filings. Wipe the water off when done.

    I have one of these and am very surprised at how well you can get an edge, and how well these diamond surfaces last. I don't think Matey here is any good at sharpening, however.

      The steel dust settles in the holes and stays out of the way and doesn’t muck up the process. Can’t sharpen a small chisel though as it catches in the holes. Thanks for watching ,Snap!
