After watching this video, I suddenly have this urge to box up and send all my knives to Skeeter for a tune up, lol. It's not hard to tell he's done this many thousands of times. A master craftsman at work.
I am very impressed, Skeeter!! You can tell you have sharpened thousands of Knives. You made it look so easy. That’s how you can tell somebody is a complete master. Thank you for these videos being a knife collector I am very interested in the sharpening process. God bless you guys. John
Same here. I know how to sharpen myself, but it's a pleasure to watch how a master craftsman does it. BTW, I'd love to see you go back to putting out a video here and there. I always enjoyed your content sir. I know it's a pia to do them, and I understand the reasons you stopped, but I sure do miss watching them. God bless, and stay safe!
Awesome! I have a Genesis that I've had for several years now. One day I'd love to come by your shop and get it re-sharpened "by you guys". Heard you would do that.
●Is the 1st machine a belt grinder or belt sander? Is the surface feet per minute around 3,000 or 5,000? ●What's the RPM of the Grizzly bench grinder-- 1,800 or 3,600 RPMs? ●What brand is the green compound? I'd like to look up the grit size. Thanks for the video.
It is 2x72 belt grinder. It has a variable speed controller so the FPM is always changing. The grinder will have a plate on it with the RPM's listed. The green compound is from RW Wilson.
How to sharpen LT Wright scandi with microbevel? Like standard flat grind (also with microbevel)? With true scandi is simple. But with scandi with microbevel sharpening by hand and stroping in the end you get more like scandivex. Wich is ok but I just want to be clear with that. Did I miss LT Wright scandi grind sharpening presentation?
If you just sharpen as a normal Scandi and strop on leather you’ll be fine. The micro bevel we put on is VERY micro, nothing like a secondary bevel. It’s put on with a hard buff, not a belt.
@@zebratruck Thank you for quick answer. I allready have LT Wright Forest trail, flat grind and I consider to buy Genesis A2 scandi but it looks that is out of stock in every web shop. DLT, Theknifeconnection...
@@zebratruckHey Scooter, is the hard buffed bevel you do at the shop comparable to an actual micro bevel as far as strength and durability? Also, how about a video on how you guys recommend corrosion prevention on the carbon steels? Just apply oil when done for the day? Applied and left wet, or applied and buffed off? Thanks!👍🏻
Do you mean the buffing wheels? They’re from Duro-felt and they’re the “hard” durometer. You’ll see the different ones on their web site. The buffing wheel on the right is just a floppy cotton wheel, non-sewn.

My bald headed buddy makes it look easy but his technique is dead on. LTWK products are always scary sharp. Thanks for sharing.
I have ALWAYS been terrible at sharpening. Good video great Information and I look forward to seeing more content!!!

Very informative. It’s amazing you guys do this by hand, I’m very impressed. Thanks for the video
Also nice product placement for Ballistol!

Yes, we will. You can bring it by the shop or ship it. Email info@ltwrightknives.com with questions how to do that.
Great thanks!
Yes we will, come on down!
Whaaaaat? No jigs?
Great job, buddy. Love your work!
Thanks for the video series! It's really gonna help keep my knives sharp.

Nice

Thx for vid! whats the name of that little knife you demo on?
That is the Great Plainsman.
Can you use this method on a scandi grind knife?
Yes.
The stropping, yes. I'd just use a ceramic rod to get the burr if it's that far gone.
What are the names of the disks you’re using? Thanks

How come the blade does not cut into the belt as you are forming the burr?
It's hard to explain, but it just doesn't. The angle that we hold it at doesn't cut it.
Because I'm not holding it too steep as to dig into the belt.
Me and my Schraede honing steel don't come close.
What grit is the sandpaper?
120.
A worn out 120 grit.
Worst ...
Video ...
Ever ...
"The boys" couldn't turn off their machines for 15 minutes while you completed this rather important project? smh
Thanks for watching and commenting!
