How I Sharpen My Knives With Close-Ups
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- I show how I sharpen my knives on a daily / weekly basis. This set up is exactly what I have been using for the last year. If you do not have a lot of time but still want a SUPER sharp knife, this knife sharpening set up is highly recommended.
Get strops here⬇️ (My website)
www.knifepointgear.com
We have THE BEST strops, diamond compound, chromium oxide compound, and leather for diy strops. Don't purchase leather elsewhere online for diy strops as the quality can be absolute garbage! COUGH* amazon... Its super rough, inconsistent, and not flat. We hand select our leather in person, so you know your getting the best quality possible. If there was a better leather available, we would buy it, and use that. Our leather is Very firm and dense, but soft to the touch. It holds compound very well and is perfectly flat...because we flatten it, using a secret method 😉

Hi, Im Alex, im a knife maker and TH-camr, based out of southern Pennsylvania and my youtube channel is Outdoors55. This channel started as an outdoor backpacking channel, but quickly grew into a knife/ knife making channel. Everything I do on my channel is family friendly. I primarily focus on knife / knife making videos but occasionally throw in something different. Thank you for watching!😀

It is great to see you upload just after I finished working out
can you make a video about sharpening with tools that "everybody" has like a benchgrinder and a polishing wheel?
Great to see you again.
@@brocifer5264 you dont sharpen with a bench grinder man. Dis-respecting the knife bro. Honestly. Why would ya?
Hi there. Love your videos. I believe you make the most profound knife-sharpening content. I've got a question, though. Will this setup (the diamond stone) work with cheap kitchen knives? Like, I believe, with those which haven't been heat treated.
I have a different cheap self made setup (with sand paper), if you're interested, I can share the build )
I missed these kind of videos so much and I can’t wait for you to start making knives from scratch again!
Same here!
Me too.
At this point, Spyderco employees shudder when the hear the name Outdoors55. When they wake up at night, then its because they felt a coffee mug being scraped across their knives.
Good to see you back
My son sent his knife back to Spyderco to get it sharpened. It came back and the blade was “good” at best. It was useable but nothing like your super sharp. Impressive
Great vid! Thanks 😊
You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for going over the sharpening process in detail!
Thanks for the kind words 👊
Sweet mother of God he's back with a banger 😁
"Mom...Dad's shaving his arms again!"
Good stuff Alex. Thanks.
😂 I had to start on my legs because my wife was freaking out and telling me I looked like I had mange on my arms.
Good God... It's been so long since i last saw a video from you in this format...So happy that everything is finally returning to normal
I didn't realize I had been carrying around 8 or so months of knife geekery deprivation on my shoulders until it just fell off...great to see you back at it and looking forward to many more!
Eight or more months, oh my. I would recommend knife geekery micro dosing on a daily basis, and some shoulder stretching exercises. 🤪
Glad to see you back! 👊🏻 one of these days If your willing I’d be honored to have you on one of my lives
For sure! Working with limited internet connection due to moving but soon as i am up and running i am down 👍👍
@@OUTDOORS55 👊
Already looking forward to that live. Suggestion: Each of you sharpen a knife while chatting.
If I had known this vid was so good I'd have saved it for my chemo session Monday.
All the Best in your fight! Hang In There.
Prayers sent your way! Its a fight you will win! Stay strong my friend 👊👊
Just the video I needed. I cant keep buying new knives when the old one isn't sharp anymore
Helping the algorithm.... Like the magnified closeups. Makes it more understandable.
Ah yes, our man is back at making knife videos. I missed these, thanks!
The changing the light angle thing was perfect. Do more of that lol
I am a woodworker by trade and I have to sharpen all of my edge tools on a regular basis. This is an excellent introduction to sharpening and something i wish someone had shown me this when I first started. It is really important to understand the mechanics of what is actually going on at the edge of your blade.
Every time I think of buying a knife-sharpening system, Alex reminds me through his knife-sharpening videos to focus and practice my free hand sharpening skills.
Nobody hand=sharpens a knife like our Alex!!!
Thank God your back.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a tutorial on using a strop
I gotta say, I’ve missed the videos. Glad to see you back at it
The rain and low music gives such a cozy mood to the video
It was raining like crazy 😂👍
Novice knifemaker over here. I’m just at the phase of getting deeper into the sharpening aspect. You’re vid will help me a lot

I love that it's so simple. No power tools required. I love this method!
Those close ups were amazing
Great work! Great video! Can’t wait to see what you have coming!
Really enjoyed that, educational (learnt some of the subtleties) and relaxing!
The grain on the edges in the video’s thumbnail makes an optical illusion
Another great video, glad you're back.

Nice video and great to see you back. Sharpening tips are always welcome and appreciated.
Dude! So glad you're back! Great content as usual. You make sharpening seem attainable to a novice like myself. Thanks for the encouragement!
Always good to see one of your knife videos. You helped me simplify my knife sharpening, comes out much sharper also.
Glad to see you post again 👍🏻👍🏻
Agreed !
good to have you back
One of the few channels where simplicity does not mean horrific video production. Well done, greetings from Latvia and keep... yeah man, keep sharpening those knives!
Totally miss these, please do make more!
Glad you are back. Thanks for the video. I learned something new. Blessings!
Glad to see you back! Love your content.
So glad to see you making videos again.
Glad to see you back with knife videos, although I did enjoy the remodeling ones.
Glad you're back. My favorite knife sharpening channel by far. Short, sweet, and to the point.
Great vid 👌🏻
Finally you're back ! :D can't wait for your future content !
Great vid. Short, sweet, and to the point. Learned a lot about sharpening from your other vids and even picked up a strop a couple years ago. This was a good refresher. The tight zoom in on the edge helps understand what's actually happening. Thanks!
There is something about you that I really don't like can't put my finger on it but there is some thing BUT however I'm still watching and listening to everything you say and do because you have a good point knowledge and your a rather good teacher.
This is a bold new direction for a home improvement channel to take with their videos.
Watching to see how this work out with great interest.
😄
Glad you’re back!
Glad to see you’re back!
Hi!!
Your sharpening videos do not get old for me. Keep on keepin on.
Happy you are back! Looking forward to some new videos👍
This is a great video about the nuts and bolts of sharpening and using a strop. It was fantastic to see the edge with at the near microscopic level. I’m just getting back into fine tuning my knives and am learning a lot from your fun videos. Highly recommended.
So glad you're back ☺️
Looking forward to more.. keep on keeping on !
great to see you back making content
Enjoy all your content. Glad to see you back..
Yay ! Loved seeing you doing a sharpening video again. That is what made me a subscriber back when I didn't sub to anybody. Still gonna watch the house videos but Yeah KNIVES !
Always remember, it’s important to keep your lit wrist locked. Nice video, a classic
Glad to have you back! Your instructional videos have been by far the most helpful for me to learn hand sharpening of my knives, and I think I'm finally getting it! Oh and your strop is amazing! I bought one and the yellow compound. It worked great!
Great video, and also perfect timing, I'm expecting delivery of a Zome Endura tomorrow,
I'm a big fan of Vg10,, once you've got a good edge, it's so easy to maintain it, just by stropping, for such a long time,, thanks for showing us this one.. All the best from across the pond,,,
Love your vids man. Glad your back
Glad to see knifemaking videos again!
I'm glad you're making videos again
Can't wait to see your new material
Hi! Missed your videos. This was a good one. Clear and quiet. Like a shaolin monk running through his exercises.
Great stuff. Appreciate your videos.
These are back???
Love it
Every sharpening skill i know, i learned from watching u
Good to see you back. 🙂
Could you do a video on just strops? Specifically, I am wondering how to remove some cheap compound I put on mine. I want to replace the cheap stuff with diamond stuff as you recommend. Also things like adding compound ie heat it up? how much to put on, when is it time to replace it etc. Thanks and welcome back.
Love that you are back man. Missed you and your content
Solid, down and dirty. People need to know this stuff, good to see ya!
Thanks for the video, welcome back brother!
a year ago i had no idea how to sharpen properly, i was using a shit lansky diamond set. i found your videot. i bought some whetstones and now i can make my edges hair splitting sharp. now i even sharp my straight razors. Thanks you very much i love your channel
Glad to have you back Josh. Thank you !!!
Josh is my brother 😉
@@OUTDOORS55 Sorry Alex, my bad. Again, really nice to have you back
