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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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. 😀

You’re a wonderful carver, and a patient teacher, many thanks.
Спасибо! Это ценная информация и хорошая доходчивая подача материала
I love the passion you have for your craft .. I learnt so much from you .. thank you 💕
The Mora 3” classic in laminated steel is my favorite using knife.

His diamond stone skills were best not trying at home without a left safety glove
I'm hitting subscribed and thumbs 👍
Thanks
I love that brand new sharpened knife feeling it's amazing.
Brilliant and straightforward instruction.
Thanks for posting this video. I LOVE my Morakniv knife. It came razor sharp and I want to keep it that way.
Thanks, my friend. Awesome series of videos!

How kind of you to share your knowledge with the professionals. I’m sure you’ve made their work much easier now.

Great information,Tack!
Would love to know what tools you're using on your Tormek to do the initial grind, and how often you do it.
What 'Grit' are your coarse, medium and fine stones?
Love this
Thank you! Greetings from the factory in Mora :)
Wow, feel the burr through your finger nail.
What grits of stones are used in the video?

So sharpen or hone one side first, then the other side, also known as a sloydian flip
Thanks for this tutorial. Can i use DMT diamond stones for this knife?
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
Thank you. I was wondering what diamond stones you use?
The first one is for shure morakniv pocket sharpening stone,diamond 600 grit.The other I dont know.
Probably Eze-lap pocket sharpening stone 1x4
Great.
Nice video ... compiments .... what is the name of the cremepolish ?
Autosol metal polish
Trodde jag var ensam om att använda autosolen :D Go filmsnutt
Jag brukade använda Autosol men avskydde stanken av det. Nu använder jag Tormeks brynpasta, funkar lika bra och luktar knappt något.
Rip his nail lol
Awesome video otherwise !

Köp svenskt! Köp Tormeks brynpasta istället. Som Autosol minus stanken.
Precious Moments with Jack Handy,,,Ahhhhhhhh
Oh yes! Greetings from the factory in Mora, Sweden.
