Thank you for the thorough walkthrough of the honing and stropping process. The part about how to detect the burr by running the edge over the nail is very valuable

[@reubencrutchley1553]

You’re a wonderful carver, and a patient teacher, many thanks.

[@user-ss1yk8jc6x]

Спасибо! Это ценная информация и хорошая доходчивая подача материала

[@demokraatti]

I recommend bigger whetstones than that. A proper benchstone leaves both of your hand free to control the blade. More comfortable, faster and more precise results.

[@grickbrown]

Thanks, my friend. Awesome series of videos!

[@LindaTheLearner]

I love the passion you have for your craft .. I learnt so much from you .. thank you 💕

[@tbrew8222]

The first thing I ever learned, was to keep a finger on the bevel edge. The pressire on the edge rather than from handle, helps the knife sit at the angle that it was ground to.
I also prefer hard strops like this wood block, or a very thin leather glued to a hard backing. It seems like the harder, finer surfaces have less compression and give a more consistent and less convexed polish.
When Indo want a convex edge, I use a belt/ barber style strop and use a combination of less belt tension, and or more knife pressure.
Looks like a solid lesson video. Simple, to the point, major points explained, no "filler" of unneeded content. I would expect as much from mora. Good job.

Brilliant and straightforward instruction.

[@jeremynedrow7003]

I love that brand new sharpened knife feeling it's amazing.

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

Thanks for posting this video. I LOVE my Morakniv knife. It came razor sharp and I want to keep it that way.

[@davidswanson8493]

His diamond stone skills were best not trying at home without a left safety glove
I'm hitting subscribed and thumbs 👍
Thanks

[@hendrik6505]

Great.

[@freenational]

Wow, feel the burr through your finger nail.

[@LukePighetti]

Would love to know what tools you're using on your Tormek to do the initial grind, and how often you do it.

[@Thestripper1]

I've always felt that Autosol destroys the edge of my knife. I think it's because autosol contains something that etches the steel a little bit. It will make metal shine like a mirror, but I think it also etches away some of the fine thin edge. Instead I use dry (wax) fine polishing compound on my strop.

[@MatsLindestam]

What 'Grit' are your coarse, medium and fine stones?

[@Kot81]

Thanks for this tutorial. Can i use DMT diamond stones for this knife?

[@abaratien]

Hey, sure. Dmt is good enough for plane and chisel blade so its ok for that. Jus make sure to have a 1000 grit minimum

[@Beefeater505]

Great insttuctions! Just a question, why would you not use the leather wheel on the tormek to hone? I understand that this method works just as good but since you used the tormek for the grinding, wouldn't it be easy to continue with the leather wheel on the tormek?

[@jakobdolhar2528]

What grits of stones are used in the video?

[@Thespoonpeddler]

Thank you. I was wondering what diamond stones you use?

[@nikolai841]

The first one is for shure morakniv pocket sharpening stone,diamond 600 grit.The other I dont know.

[@guglielmofrancavilla7824]

Probably Eze-lap pocket sharpening stone 1x4

[@aadsips3521]

Nice video ... compiments .... what is the name of the cremepolish ?

[@manguydude905]

Autosol metal polish

[@randallkikta5855]

So sharpen or hone one side first, then the other side, also known as a sloydian flip

[@nuttiBONG]

Trodde jag var ensam om att använda autosolen :D Go filmsnutt

[@vodcc4463]

Jag brukade använda Autosol men avskydde stanken av det. Nu använder jag Tormeks brynpasta, funkar lika bra och luktar knappt något.

[@LucasGarcia-ks2zp]

Rip his nail lol
Awesome video otherwise !

[@DG-mv6zw]

Great video, but you don't have a beard! Isn't it a law that spoon carvers must have a beard! Grow a beard, my friend, and watch your spoon carving skills improve exponentially. 😀

[@vodcc4463]

Köp svenskt! Köp Tormeks brynpasta istället. Som Autosol minus stanken.

[@SweatyWelder68]

Precious Moments with Jack Handy,,,Ahhhhhhhh

[@MoraknivOfficial]

Oh yes! Greetings from the factory in Mora, Sweden.
