  • In this video I give a crash course on what I do to get my knifes razor sharp. It’s fairly simple and anyone can do it with a stone and a buffer (or Stroup). Shout out to all new subscribers and the ones that have been here since day one. Anyways I hope you enjoy and have a great day and week.

    This old Marine is 71 yrs old and this is the first time I actually "Got it" when you showed how to actually really, simply FIND THE EDGE. I have hit or miss fought finding the edge all my knife loving hand sharpening life. I have watched more video than Carter has pills. I even saw this circular sharpening technique 40 years ago at Silver Dollar City, but never GOT how to find the edge. In your video I SAW and HEARD you find that edge! In two minutes I got an astonishing edge using your little circular motion after FINDING THE EDGE Thank you so much! I actually GOT IT, so now I can find homes for my old standby Lansky and Edge Pro systems. If I had a suggestion I would ask you to please make a one minute video on HOW TO FIND THE EDGE. There's gotta be others like me who can use your simple priceless info, explained so clearly and quickly. Thanks again.

    I was taught many of your same tips by my father, over half a century ago. I still have and regularly use, his extensive stone collection. They have sharpened countless edges, and are in fine condition. Same circular motion, but his paramount advice was to "keep your knife sharp", and it will only take a few seconds to lick it up, let it get dull and it becomes a big job to fix it. He said grinders and coarse stones are for axes! Plus, he would never cut paper with a good knife, or lend it to anyone! Good video, and a great moustache!

    Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night th-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

    This is a TRUE story.
    A couple of years ago, a really good friend, who had been doing metal work for a living for over 60 years, was buffing out a knife just like you're doing in this video, when the blade caught the buffing wheel. The knife broke in half, and the blade went around the wheel and sunk 7 inches into his chest. He lived for about a half hour after that.

    Your circular stone-technique was exactly how my Dad born in 1909 taught me--it how the butchers did before having steels.
    Once you get used to it, it super fast. Also if you can fine a flat piece of ceramic, it is really the best!
    I usually hit a knife on a super-fine stone like you did, just a short bit and it keeps the edge perfect.

    • @SpinStar1956
      @SpinStar1956 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@itspasta Hi Leonard, to be honest with you, I’ve used all manner of stones, ceramic-flats used in making integrated circuit chips, ceramic tiles, river-stones, not to mention all the ‘built for purpose’ stuff. To be honest, with you it depends on what your sharpening and how far from the edge you want, that it is.
      However, if you want a single actual ‘stone’, I really recommend an Arkansas stone, as they are the best all around stone that is reasonably priced and can give you different levels of sharpening/honing simply by the amount of pressure you apply. For example, I use the none-prime side of the Arkansas along with a lot of pressure to get a blade to a basic sharpness; but then will us the prime or nicest side (and with a very light touch) to bring an edge to razor-sharpness. Also, I have two of these that my Dad gave me 60+ years ago and I’m still using them! If I could only have one, the Arkansas would be my choice.
      If you have an application whereby you are rapidly dulling and sharpening, (and the blade is ‘expendable’) then I use diamond because they quickly bring up an edge and last well.
      So Leonard, all my cutlery is working cutlery; and I’m old school so there may be better high tech stuff for fancy applications but I just don’t have the need. Hope that helps! 🙂

I've got a whetstone that I bought years ago but never really could get the results I wanted with it but after this video was recommended to me today, I checked it out and thought I'd give it a try with a blade that I use for opening packages which is getting pretty dull and wow! The results after just a few minutes are so much better than what I've previously achieved and I wasn't even able to properly strop the blade so I used a leather belt. Regardless, I was able to cleanly shave the hairs off my arm and I was left stunned by the results. Now I get to spend this weekend sharpening up all my blades in need.

    Many years ago, as forestry student at Oregon State, One of the courses in Wood products dealt with wood Identification. We needed to be able to shave a sliver of end grain from a random piece of wood in order to ID it piece of wood. It needed to be sliced clean enough that there were no tears or pulls visible under a hand lens. The same principles are shown in this video. Thank you! It isn't really that difficult, it does require a little patience and discipline to create that edge.

Now the entire blade is one V-shape. Followed by a couple of cut strokes on each side on a fine whetstone. Done!

    Good information. I have found that the bottom of a coffee cup (the raw porcelain that stays unfinished) works well for quick sharpening. A field expedient method is to use the rounded edge of the side window of your vehicle. Roll down the driver's window to a comfortable height and drag your knife across the top edge, for those days when you don't have your fancy 2 sided whetstone or your electric polishing wheel.

    Nicely done. I have 2 bench top grinding wheel setups. (inherited) Between them 3 abrasive disks and 1 wire wheel. I think I'm going to trade out an abrasive disk for a buffing wheel. Thanks!

    I've been using this technique for thirty years. I use a 1000 grit stone. Something I look/feel for is a burr develop while working on the stone. Once you feel the burr develop develop on both sides, then it's time to polish it off using a buffer or strop, as you prefer. Lots good for any knife.
    Chisels, and plane irons, I go 1000 grit, 16000 grit Shapton stones. There is nothing wrong with the Norton stones at 1000 and 8000. These have to be kept flat. So a flatten stone is neccessary. A reason to keep dedicated stones for this task. More to that technique can be discovered right here on You tube.

    Like many here my father taught me the circular motion as well. I've never been as good at it as him at keeping that angle just..... right but I do pretty well. Stops are great but fine ceramic just before is my bread n butter. As a kid we had a big like 14 inch ceramic bowl that sat on the counter and we would flip it over to that raw rim from where it sat when being fired and it would crisp that edge right up.

    When I was taught to sharpen a knife I was told that a) the only way was to go against the edge, and b) circular was lazy and destroyed the edge. Now if I’m using a honing rod, I’ll push/pull the edge against the rod. But with a stone, I’ve had good results with the circular method, and find it easier to hold a consistent angle. Shoot, if you’re careful, you can use a Dremel fine stone and then a buffing wheel. I’ve used Flitz metal polish to polish the edge and blade. Shiny. Get a good edge and then buff the blade.

    I use the Lansky sharpening system. They have a 5 stone set and a 3 stone diamond set. The diamond set is the only one I use. although the coarsest stone in the 5 piece set is handy for roughing in the angle you want with a new knife. Gives a razor edge with no hassle. There are several angles you can use. I use the same angle on all my knives. Not that I claim to be an expert on knives, but mine are like your- sharp as a razor blade.

    I got an old Muela combat knife to pretty sharp, to the point where it feels razor sharp but won't shave. But I have been using the 'back and forth method' along with the circular style. The angle you showed looked about right. Next time I will try circles and see if it gets the edge to that point. I don't know anything about the strop part though. I will have to find one and try it.Must be similar to the honing steel I used to use in the restaurant business.
