This is a great method for repairing swales or resetting bolsters on kitchen knives too...do the major work on a belt, restore the edge geometry on a flat plate. I have no doubt this played into your decision process, but when recovering tips on folders if you're going to remove the material from the edge rather than the spine you should first check that when the knife closes the tip will still be concealed in the handle. Great vid, great content.
Yes definitely, i always before sharpening check the closing and stop pin area to make sure everything will work, ive shown on other knives how if not sharpened properly that it will have issues in closed positions exc.. Which most people dont even thinnk about before sharpening, great point and now i wish i would have said that
I had a chip off the tip of my yojimbo, but because the spine is perfectly straight down the wharncliffe portion, I just slid the knife back and forth on a cheap stone 'til it lined up. No one would ever have known and it took my all but 15 min.
Great video bro! I have sharpened one out...then I bought a swing sharpener lol Learned a lot doing it as I had also just started freehand but it was a lot of work. Happy Birthday Kara!
Not needed, its plung grind goes straight down so you dont hit the plunge at all that little bit of steel at the heel can be filed off easily which i should have shown
Well done, it looks perfect. I like this blade shape in part because it provides a flat surface to sharpen. What stone did you use at the end, the wider stone?
@@NeevesKnives thanks mate. Do you think that the DLC coating hinders cutting performance? Utility and defense wise. 5x5 has some pretty cool pickpocket gear and feel carry for Spyderco. Just gotta decide if I want the jumbo, not sure if it's too big to out in public with.
@@wigglywrigglydoo you would probably be better off with the yojimbo, the YOJUMBO is great but it's massive, the coating shouldn't create much drag, they will always create a tiny bit but hardly recognizable
Great video was wondering how many sharpening like this can you do before it effects your hollow grind. And on a saber grind do you ever regrind the whole saber or flat edge on a full grind to keep the thinness behind the edge.
Yes i have in the past done the saber, part of the grind To thin it out, with a hollow you have a lot of sharpening before it gets thicker, i probably removed about 6 to 10 sharpenings from it, and it has a massive amount of life left its still the same thickness, but it boils down to how good you are at sharpening someone very good removes the least amount of steel when sharpening, someone just learning removes a lot
@@NeevesKnives thanks for info always good to hear your opinion on this stuff. I'm at the point where I'm getting ok at sharpening just need certain pieces of wisdom to get me through.
Thanks! A dremel master I am not but wondering if tiny, quick grinds and maybe dipping it in cold water periodically as I go. Or maybe a diamond file would be safer.
sand paper works great, but as PANTS said you will have a very likely chance of burning but if at a low speed with water you would have to be a master with the dremel, sand paper, or stones would be best you could use a diamond rod or ceramic rod as well
Sweet. Ordered a $30 fixed blade to practice mods. It needs a reprofiled tip, thumb jimping and a sharpening choil. Thanks Mr Neeve, thanks Mr Pants ;)
@@_MiMo_ if its just blunted id just sharpen it out on a stone possibly start off just removing a little steel like i showed on a stome, then go to town sharpening, choil and jimp should be cake with your dremel
the tip wasn't that badly damaged. normal use and resharpening would achieve the same result over time. grinding the edge back might give it a nice pointy tip, but the blade loses it longevity. this is a good video of what not to do.
Great job! You better charge Bob double for your work. And before you say NO, watch his video where he is in his car with his hat and scarf. He can afford it!😄😄😄 Seriously, Jim & Bob put out some great vids and information on knifes! Town halls rule! Charge him double tho!
Not in this case imo, but if you watch another one that I did, which was far worse that's how I did it, it was a video on 2 knives that came in with broken tips and I repaired them back to new. Depending on how bad it is, I usually take from spine
If it was from the edge yes if its from the spine no but it will shorten the blade a tiny bit, the way i did it is the best way especially since its a thin hollow, and a factory edge
@@crushed2death not at all its still the same thickness as before because its a deep thin hollow grind it still has quite a few sharpenings before it starts getting thicker thats one of the many beautiful things about a deep hollow
Hey Jerad, this was an awesome video. I loved watching you resurrect this thing. It look perfect. Than you sir!
Noproblem bud! 👍
Many happy returns Kara. Hope you have a great day.

Happy Birthday Kara have a great time.
That broken tip was solved excellently.
Could never tell it was broken. Really sharp.
It definitely came out perfectly
Awesome video Jarad, warncliffs look fun to sharpen
Can you teach me about when to use soapy water?
Damn good freehand man. Impressive

Thanks for the video. I have broken a tip or two in my life. I thank I buried the poor knife... R.I.P.
Nice work!
Great video bro! I have sharpened one out...then I bought a swing sharpener lol Learned a lot doing it as I had also just started freehand but it was a lot of work.
Happy Birthday Kara!
Freeehand takes some time to learn but when the muscle memory is down it gets a lot lot faster
Great to see how you did this. Definitely a handy skill to know. Great video 👍 and happy birthday to Kara.
Happy Birthday Kara!
Very clean Job
Why not add a sharpening choil first?
Not needed, its plung grind goes straight down so you dont hit the plunge at all that little bit of steel at the heel can be filed off easily which i should have shown
talking about cold chills the other day on live, that 300 grit does it to me, damn like nails on a chalk board lol
I work in flexography. They sell loupes that clamp on your phone for recording. They’re really nice. May help you in what you do.
I was curious as to what side of the leather strop (suede or smooth) is best to use?
Suede because it adds texture and it absorbs compound better imo
You did a perfect job!
Thank you
Well done, it looks perfect. I like this blade shape in part because it provides a flat surface to sharpen. What stone did you use at the end, the wider stone?
Venev dragon series diamond stone
Happy birthday Kara. 🎂🍻
Very nice edge
Looks great. Bob always breaking knife tips. Lol. ✌️
Always this is the 3rd one now ive fixed i believe
I was so hoping you were going to make a video on this.
👍
Is 2 better than the original Yojimbo?
Yes it is better, and the yojumbo is an XL version
@@NeevesKnives thanks mate. Do you think that the DLC coating hinders cutting performance? Utility and defense wise. 5x5 has some pretty cool pickpocket gear and feel carry for Spyderco. Just gotta decide if I want the jumbo, not sure if it's too big to out in public with.

The DLC coatings on Rocksteads is another matter though.
Happy birthday kara you have the same birthday as my sister. Hope you have a great day
Oh wow! She says an Oprah
Great job!
🙇
Happy birthday Kara... when I seen you showing these knives off in the last video I was hoping that you were going to show how to fix a broken tip.
Yeah i figured since i said it it be wrong not too
Great video. Bob DeMarco will keep you in the tip Repair business. He says he's drooped a number of knives on their tip (if I recall correctly). 😊😊
Yes hes definitely good at tip breaking and i believe wharny are his favourites, this is the 3rd one i believe great dude and channel
Happybirfday! Kara!

Happy Birthday Kara. Got a blunted tip, can I use my dremel to put a point back on it?
You are more likely to burn the steel (and ruin the heat treat) than you are too successfully put a tip back on it. Unless you are a Dremel master!
Thanks! A dremel master I am not but wondering if tiny, quick grinds and maybe dipping it in cold water periodically as I go. Or maybe a diamond file would be safer.

I have multiple videos fixing tips on knives usually i take steel from spine so not to lose life from edge

😆 i seen that big timers
Aren’t you ruining the behind the edge thickness? I’m new to knives, so no disrespect meant.
I think removing material from the spine was the way to go .
Not in this case imo, but if you watch another one that I did, which was far worse that's how I did it, it was a video on 2 knives that came in with broken tips and I repaired them back to new. Depending on how bad it is, I usually take from spine
Damn your Good
If you remove steel only at the tip won’t it start to create a slight curve at the tip. Your finished product looks amazing tho
If it was from the edge yes if its from the spine no but it will shorten the blade a tiny bit, the way i did it is the best way especially since its a thin hollow, and a factory edge
👍👍
The overlapping voiceovers make me feel like im losing my mind
Im sorry! I thought i lowered or cut the other voice out, im still getting used to this new microphone
@@NeevesKnives 🤣
@@NeevesKnives do you think raising the edge like this may make it marginally thicker, and end up thicker at the new tip?
@@crushed2death not at all its still the same thickness as before because its a deep thin hollow grind it still has quite a few sharpenings before it starts getting thicker thats one of the many beautiful things about a deep hollow
chipped tips piss me off!
Impressive as fuck 👀😍
