- Official simple Little Life video of: Making the ultimate Knife sharpener.
Here is a fixture I made for my Razor Sharp Edge Making System that makes incredibly consistent and razor sharp edges. I've always loved my razor sharp edge making system but I especially love this new set up. It takes away any inconsistency that came from sharpening free hand with this system.

About Simple Little Life:
This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.
Silent movies went out in the 1920's.
So at the end of your days, you get to look back on your life and say, “I was the asshole who made rude comments on TH-cam”.
@@Simplelittlelife Thin skinned huh?
Over 1 Million views say otherwise.
The fact that you haven't created a single video on your own channel, yet are trying to tear down those who do create, speaks volumes about you as well.
Those who cant do, troll.
@@Simplelittlelife I APPROVE of your comment and I APPRECIATE that you DON'T HAVE CRAPPY MUSIC. 😎🇺🇸
I'm pleased you posted this in its entirety. The significant step is switching the base of the grinder around. If anyone is tempted to reverse the motor electrically, don't even think about it. Your wheels will come off.
Excellent idea. I have currently marked off the body of the grinder motor with gradations in degrees - 0°, 15°, 22.5° and 25° so that I can do kitchen knives at 30° total angle and micro groove polished at 45° or outdoor knives at 45° with microgroove at 50°. I learned to use lathe and mill in tech school would love to do that again after 50 years! Today I start my welding course aged 65! All the best, Rob
That's some sharp work you did man! Great job.
It’s so nice to see a skilled tradesman at work as skills like this are disappearing. Great idea too and the fastest most accurate way I have seen yet. I take my hat of to you!
Awesome as usual Jeremy! Might have been nice to give a little talk at the end about the finished project. What you might have done differently, what was hard, what was easy, and some of the reasons for your choices in making this. :)
Outside & Stuff sounds like youre his teacher for a school assignment lol!
Thank you! I am going to do a follow up video showing exactly how it works, and I've already got a few changes I might make to the sharpener. I shot all the footage with me talking about it at the end but it was over 15 minutes all said and done so I just decided to scrap the end of the video. That way I can cover everything I want to in a little more detail on a separate video. Cheers!
You should make that and sell them I need a set up like that
Great job! This dwarfs and outperforms all those expensive & fancy sharpeners out there!
Very awesome my friend! I could not figure out where you were going with the design until the very end when you were demo-ing it. Really great idea, and it looks like it works really well.
Thanks buddy! I was wanting to build one of these ever since I got my paper wheels and finally decided I had to stop all other projects to do this little one. First few knives are very promising and super super consistent. Hopefully it proves as useful over the long haul it seems to be with the first few knives:)
Hi, tell me what kind of circles do you have on the grinding machine? thank.
P.s: I'm sorry for my bad english. I am from Russia and use a translator
The heck with the knife sharpener wish I had your machining skills. Great job!
Awesome stuff buddy that turned out great I know if I did it people would think it had been in a car crash haha. Beasty mill you used aswell
haha, thanks! Cheers!
Very nice Jermey! Loved the idea. Careful when using an expensive 4flute to drill, it's usually best to pre-drill because the center of the end mill is not very good a cutting and evacuating chips.
I see you are a knife maker. do you know if using this wheel affects the temper of the steel, or create a large burr? I have a a few expensive knives & axes to sharpen. Cheers
that looks particularly ultimate.
Thank.
Seriously impressive design and machining skills Jeremy! Keep the great vids coming mate, John.
Thanks John! Much appreciated!
You sir are a genius ! Best video ive ever seen,Man i would love to have a workshop like that..
Thank you very much! I appreciate the compliment. Cheers!
That is so cool, i like that! And, holy cow! 43,000 subscribers!?!?!? That was really fast!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that. Cheers!
Wow,I was amazed at your expertise.Pure craftsmanship at work.
Great job. I'm sure you can recreate or duplicate any of those high end knife sharpeners out there.
You're an excellent craftsman, but I am surprised at all the negative comments. You did a good job and you're a good fella to take the time to film it so the world can see. I thank you
Hey, would you be willing to test this setup you've made on ceramic knives? I've been wondering if a diamond-loaded paperwheel setup (actually, exactly like this) would work.
at 3:31 what type of milling machine is that , or make and model including the vice ?
I just watched this entire video and realized I don’t know how to do shit! Nice set-up, and I’m envious!! ........ great video too and you are talented
Thank you very much!
Awesome machine work. Should make and sell them.
Nice work....looks a lot like the Tormeck system.
+KnifeCollector031 The Netherlands I've never heard of that but I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
+KnifeCollector031 The Netherlands I've never heard of that but I'll have to check that out. Thanks!
Love it!!!!!!, a joy to watch and I bet it saves time and money, very clever 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
I need one of these!
They work pretty darn well 👍
My goal is to have every tool you used in this video in my shop, and be as good with them as you are. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
hahaha that's a great goal and I hope you reach it:) Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Do you run your grinder backwards too? I’ve flipped mine but now the switch is on the back. Did you switch the base around?
Yeah I turned the grinder and switched the base around. 👍
How about an mdf wheel on a grinder turned around backwards. Would that substitute
Caraca.... que troço mais maneiro!!! Valeu o trabalhão que deu. Parabéns meu amigo.
A very elegant solution. Using blue tape as a mixing board is genius.
Love the mill
Do you have a suggestion for a cheap alternative to a Trayco clipper blade machine?
Jeremy... that ROCKS man! Nice set-up.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
I was just thinking about something like this, looks like you nailed it. Excellent ideas and fab skills as usual. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Cheers!
is the rmp too high or not on the bench grinder pls answer im really confused dude..😔😢😦😧
is that a busybee/ craftex mill??? If so how do you like it?
What RPM is your bench grinder running @?
i need one of those, for sure
+SurviveYourDay they work pretty well:)
Great video.... love that string quartet music too :-)
It looks great and I see it makes knives super sharp. It reminds me of a giant Lansky sharpener. Great work. You should sell this.
Thank you very much! I'd have to come up with an efficient way to produce these first as they are quite time consuming:) Cheers!
Kind of got an idea of why they are so expensive to buy. You got mad skills.
Hey I have a question :how would I go about measuring the exact angle I'm sharpening at?
That's nicely put together man. Your a skillful man with many talents. Impressive collections of machinery
you my man are awesome!. i wish i had your set up cuz that sharpening rig is sooo sick. i wish i had the exact set up you just made. what would you charge someone for that minus the bench grinder?
Knowledge, Time, and Tools. Nicely done!!
Thank you very much!
Is there any way I could get you to make me one of those jigs? I'd be most appreciative!!
Amazing skills. Ive heard you say a few times that you originally trained in metal work, but I didnt fully appreciate how good you were with precision machining.
Thanks a lot buddy! Much appreciated:) Cheers!
I made a knife sharpening system almost identical to yours, except I'm using a Tormek sharpening jig to hold the knife. Except, I'm getting a lot of chatter and vibration when the knife is in the jig, but when I remove it from the jig and sharpen a knife by hand, there is no chatter. Did you have any issues like this? I'm using a very nice Dewalt grinder, that doesn't vibrate much at all. Any ideas as to what the problem could be?
Does that lil milling machine have a backlash eliminator? And what kind is it? Looks cool n compact
Awesome work!
Made one similar to this one when I saw Aaron Gough build (mine is one 325grit CBN wheel and one MDF) but my knife arm is not as nice as yours so I may adopt your design!
Let me ask you a question: what's the purpose of the radial slots on the right wheel?
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Hey Thanks! The wheel with the slots is the fine wheel that uses only white jewellers rough, and the slots are for cooling. Greeting to you from Canada! Cheers!
I am quite envious of your shop, Jeremy. One day, soon, I too shall have a shop such as yours.
haha, thanks!
A brilliant idea has come from such a brilliant mind……….Well done Jeremy, you have given such a simple (excuse the pun) solution to us all in keeping a consistent angle when sharpening one’s knives using those Razor Sharp Wheels.
Very impressed ty for sharing
love it
perfect job!
Thanks!
You got the skills (and equipment) to pay the bills man. Awesome work and an awesome shop.
Thank you very much!
How much for make me one plus shipping and handling? Seriously I’m very interested
Great video! Is there a tool you didn't use in this video LOL! Nice welding blanket. Got a kick out of the Apple sticker on your helmet. Really great thinking on reversing the base on the motor, to keep the switch on the front, but change the wheel direction. Most folks would not have thought of that. Just need to paint it once it warms up. It's called "scary sharp"
Do you have a video of how to make circles for this sharpener? Can you give a link where to look about circles? Thank you
overall, great idea and bravo on the final tool
+B.C.A.M LiveBait thanks!
I'd like to see some paper snowflake skills developing after all the sharpness demonstrations
hahaha, yeah I guess so. Mostly just a huge mess on the floor:) Cheers!
Just out of curiosity the paper wheels when it turns is turning towards the blade right? Isnt it worrysome if the blade cut into the paper wheel? Would it be better if the machine was rotated 180 degrees and the rotation is away from the blade?
Good video, what do you use to make the grit adhere to your sharpening wheel?
Awesome shop! Nice work.
Elegant simplicity at its best. 👍
Thanks!
hat off to u sir. well done.
Man this guy has tools which is half the battle, the other half... He has mad skills
Video editor used ? need that fast forward function ! Thanks.
Finally Cut Pro. Cheers!
Jeremy my machine shop is temporarily out of commission due to a lack of parts. Particularly all of them!!!😂😂😂
Very impressive!
Can I get the directions from you.
Thanks?
Buck
Nagyon jók a videok lehet belölük ötleteket meriteni.
Wow. Amazing work!
Thank you very much.
Excellent work. Live your videos.
So, what's the difference between the MDF wheel and leather stropping wheels or cloth buffing wheels?
And what are the differences between this setup and a 1*30 power belt grinder with progressive belts and a leather stropping belt?
Awesome video!!! Thanks!!
Thank you very much!
Question: If a blade steel is too brittle HRC 63-66...could the edge chip during sharpening? Have bits of metal shooting in any direction?? Making it sort of dangerous???
AWESOME workmanship, my friend. I liked it so much I subbed and rang the bell. More videos please.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! 🙏👍
how do you set the angle
Awesome!
Not sure I understand the reason. I’ve been using this carbide sharpening system since I was about 15 as I helped my Granddad sell and sharpen knives. I’m now 44, and not sure what the jigs for? It’s fairly easy to free hand and put that type edge on it. Is it a safety piece? I could see that for sure, my Granddad has a knife close on his finger once, got him pretty good.
What was the drill press that went side to side called
Hi, the sharpener you built is very good. I like very much. I'd like to ask you two questions. 1. What kind of wheels does the grinder use, what are they called? 2. The Makita saw what kind of disk do you use? Thank you very much!
Excellent vid, well produced. Nice clamp!
Thanks!
Congratulation very very good. God bless you.
wish I had your work shop , nice work...👍👍😎
I like that sharpener... Damn, it's SHARP!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Bravo!
Nice shop, that milling machine is bad ass
Nearly as impatient as me with the milling machine xD haha
haha!
Superbe vidéo.
C'est quoi comme meule que vous utilisez ? Merci
What material is the wheels on the grinder? MDF?
how much for the motor base?
Great vid. What are the wheels made from bought or home built ?
how much would you charge to make just the clamping head for the knife?
Your video had me mesmerized, very cool setup you have!
Thank you very much. Really appreciate that. Cheers!
Simple Little Life what would you charge to make one? Exactly the same. Complete with grinder. I have been using the same type of sharpener for years. However me edges aren't as straight as the ones you make. Nice job.
Thanks! I don' think I will be making anymore of these. They are just too labour intensive to be worth the money I would need to charge to pay for my time. Cheers!
That is beautiful, other youtube vids show people making stuff out of tiny, flimsy materials, which as a construction fitter doesn't speak to me. But it might be an idea to make a vid on making roughly the same thing but with tools most people have in their garage.
Awesome 👏
