Guys dont listen to him if u have a smiths sharper like the one in the video do the same as he is doing but apply little pressure while pulling thru. After 10-20 reps through the carbide course side switch to the ceramic side and do same 10-20 reps your knife will be sharpened if not try again trust me this guy is destroying his knives
Wow...after seeing a nearly 1:1 ratio of thumbs up to thumbs down, I didn't even bother clicking "Play"; I just read the comments and got the advice from there.
the steel does not put the edge back on the knife, it removes loose burrs and straightens the thin edge of the blade, which can get bent over to one side or the other when dragging it across a sharpening stone. this may be what you meant, but it doesn't sound it with the way you worded it. as for those knives being sharp they are not even close, If they were sharp you wouldn't have to hold the paper like you do, with a "razor sharp" knife you could hold up a piece of paper with 2 fingers and the knife would slice though the paper with no resistance with a smooth slice all the way through, not jagged like the cuts you were making. Using a lot of pressure when sharpening is ok to take off a lot of metal to rebuild the edge, but once it is close to sharp you only want to use a little bit of pressure to take off small amounts at a time to make the edge as thin as possible, too much pressure when it is really thin will only crush the edge and dull it.
Thunder Chicken a sincere thank you. I own a large collection of Microtech's standard OTF style pieces as well as a few other "designer" knives, and need to sharpen several. Someone bought me this two-stage Rapala sharpener a few years back, and I was just about to start grinding away before I figured I should check and see what people think about them. Based on the comments here, it sounds like I'm better off waiting to buy a better kit, then practicing on a few cheap knives first.
I like the video for good intent... unfortunately the paper test wasn't very good. The first paper test was almost no different from the second. Its razor sharp when you slice the paper with no effort and no catching...
Reallly bad. That's not how you hold the paper for the paper test. The Gerber seemed to be sharper before you messed with it. You really should watch some the other videos - maybe actually learn before you try to teach.
I hope not to cause offence by disagreeing but this advice is contrary to everything I have ever learned about blade sharpening - namely that very little pressure is required to sharpen a knife blade. This is born out in the paper cut test - that blade is not sharp and is tearing the paper rather than cutting it. Best advice - view other vids on knife sharpening!
+rick warner you are doing better than this guy, thats for sure :D. You can use more pressure for taking off more steel, but to create a fine and straight edge that can push cut you should use little pressure and turn the knife to the other side every turn. This guy knows nothing about sharpening knives, you can see that when he says that he doesnt use the fine side when he is sharpening harder steel, thats complete nonsense because you need fine sharpening to get finer edges...not to mention that he uses carbide sharpeners... thats basically using harder metal to sharpen metal, he is really really bad and you can see that also when he cuts the paper, you are not supposed to hold the paper tightly and try to cut between you fingers...that even looks stupid. You should be testing the knife edge by lightly slicing the paper, if your edge is super fine you wont even have to slice, you will just push and it will cut. People please dont ever take any advice from this guy, he hasnt even tried to learn how to sharpen properly, he is destroying his knife and he just has no idea what he is talking about, steel, knives, sharpening, he knows nothing.
For the same price u can get a few sheets of wet and dry sandpaper and get some seriously sharp edges that would put this sharpener to shame and is better for your knives in the long run
Rhys Garton right I do this at work amazing what a flat table some 120 grit sandpaper and 400 grit sandpaper will do to an edge can’t believe I wasted all my money on pull through sharpeners over the years luckily I’ve been using stones past 5 yrs
the long steel sharpener I have that is almost thhhe say as your actually sharpens my knives. I did the paper test and it cut much better when using the long stick.
Could you to one with a pull through with a close up of how u set your edge in it... So you just try to keep the knife straight up and down or do you lean it into the other rock inside the pull through?
when I see someone pull a knife thru one of those carbide sharpeners its like nails on a chalk board, the title of this video should be how to completely destroy a knife,
there is no correct way to use a carbide v-sharpener, they take chunks of metal off the blade destroying it ( even with light pressure), like Rhys Garton said sandpaper or get yourself a spyderco sharpmaker, you won't regret it.
To all the people saying don't use a pull through sharpener that you will mess it up is 100% WRONG if you messed up a blade using a pull through sharpener than you have no idea what you are doing even though its 100% easy to use. Are whetstones better? course they are but that is also an advanced method of sharpening. i can get my schrade knife just about razor sharp with a smith pull through sharpener no its not razor sharp but close enough. Not everyone needs a $50-200 dollar knife sharpening kit, these are perfect for the beginner. However i would say to still get a whetstone or even a whetstone kit and learn and practice.
I just bought one of these in orange from Walmart. I'm glad that I read this review of this video. How much/little pressure am I supposed to apply ? How will I know what is the right amount of pressure?
You are soooo wrong on this using these pull through sharpeners rips a lot of steel off your knife deforming the shape of your knives edge and it feeling and cutting sharp is just a very course wire edge that bends and rolls and chips and doesn't stay sharp long at all
a pull through sharpener destroy knife blades. if you want a sharp knife use a flat stone I thought that this thing made a sharp edge until, I used a sharpening stone for the first time. I was cleaning it afterwards and sliced my two of my fingers. I know I was being careless but I had no prior experience with a real sharp knife. Just get a decent sharpening stone. I am using my great grandfathers oil stone guessing it is over 100 years old. Still works a treat. much better than these pieces of crap.
Yea, just don't use these things. If you don't know how to sharpen your knives with stones... the most you can do is make it dull. With these, you're destroying the edge completely.
This video is a terrible example of how to sharpen a knife. I'd suggest looking up how to use flat stones rather than a garbage pull-through. If you've got a garbage knife with soft steel and *softly* pull it through, you might get.. something. Most decent steels are just going to get rippled and cut like shit.
It's because of how hard he was doing it and you really shouldn't use that first side he used unless it is very very dull or has a dent or big scrapes or something then only use the other side of the sharpener.
“Be sure and wipe your knife off ON YOUR SHIRT after you’re done sharpening if you’re gonna use your knife for FOOD PREP or SURGICAL/MEDICAL whatever”. Okay, got it! So, how’s things going at Chipotle these days?
that is not razor sharp that tour the paper I know because I have a razor sharp knife it's a buck 110 I even have a video on it and also carbide is really bad for your knife the ceramic side of the sharpener is better because it doesn't damage your knife as much
Dude I've seen you around youtube, also I have a buck 327 nobleman and I'm looking for a good sharpener but I don't want to send alot of money any idea's?
Get a sharpener from sharpensbest.com there ten dollars for the cheapest one but they all work the same and watch videos on there sharpeners to learn how to use them right
dude when your knife is sharp you don't have to hold the paper tight between your fingers & saw the paper in 2 you can just let one end hang-& the knife will CUT the paper not fold the edge over before basically tearing it apart. You have ruined those knifes-&-anyone that doesn't know how to sharpen a knife that watches this video to learn how is going to ruin knives too. if you haven't watched your video please do so then take off you tube. im sorry for being harsh but damn bruh if this was supposed to be a parody my bad-& LOL !!
what possessed you to make a video like this? it's a real shame because somebody might see this video and actually use one of these sharpeners, razor sharp, that's funny bro, take a look at some video's on you tube and actually learn what a sharp knife really is.
If you all haven't seen a documentary called... it's worse than you think...by revelations of Jesus Christ ministries... I suggest you do... All praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ
🤨🤨🤨 Cool joke you funny guy. (Please for the love of steel do not listen to this Joker. He is trolling you all... or as bright as a flat Earther. Not sure which is worse.)
So I just watched a real man sharpen a knife the right way....naked in bed. Shave ready on a smiths tri hone, just sayin you need to gain some knowledge before you challenge anyone to a knife fight dude.

carbide sharees dont sharpen thay just putt an eage in the knife so you can shrpen it alitelbit faster vit stons
Lane Harrison well I don't know but he looks a right muppet and I wouldn't eat fuckall from the kitchen he works in
I dont recommend pull thrpugh sharpeners but they do work good in some cases

Thanks for the info, I tried this on my Sebenza and it turned out razor sharp just like your knives.
couldn't cut paper you mean?

Thank you, you said all I was about to
Hey dude. Thank you for the great tutorial. You really helped me sharpen my leatherman skeletool correctly.
No prob man. Definitely better ways to sharpen, but it's cheap and easy
Um...your knives still look like they are fighting to go through the paper...
as soon as he started sharpening I was brought back to my younger years, when a pull through sharpener was considered good.
same,I remember when I first got one when I was little I thought it would be the same as a proper stone
how to use a pull through sharpener: don't.

"Wipe it off with your shirt before using on food." WTF?
Yeah, like that squirrel you just took down with your .22LR. gotta have a clean blade before you skin it. Lol
Medically surgically, yeah like digging the .22LR round that went into your buddy after you missed the squirrel for the first 5 shots.
*Rip rip tear tear riiip* "Cuttin' through like butter" Shut up.
I’ve seen sharper knives that have been used as rock chisels
Aodhan a butter knife is sharper^

proper way to use the carbide scraper POS is to throw it in the trash can, save $3.
nah,it’s ok to use on a cheap machete or something i cut my thumb open doing that though
there is no correct way to use a carbide v-sharpener, they take chunks of metal off the blade destroying it ( even with light pressure), like Rhys Garton said sandpaper or get yourself a spyderco sharpmaker, you won't regret it.

I can get a razor sharp edge from my great grandfathers oil stone
even a cheap one will work
$20 at most

Cutting right through??? looks more like barely cutting and more tearing.
Thanks for the video!!
Hey bro. Great demo. I got 1000% better using your methods, and now my knives are sharp!
Using a pull through sharpener is really bad for your knives because it rips out chunks of steel as apples do to shaving it off
Good I got the same style sharpener from Kames and its nice. A lot easier to use
Yea, just don't use these things. If you don't know how to sharpen your knives with stones... the most you can do is make it dull. With these, you're destroying the edge completely.
I bet he makes really nice food
That Gerber will come in handy when Obama's Ferguson crowd comes attempting to still all your preps : )
And thus a tutorial on how to ruin your knives
What do you mean?
Nah I know why that's bad now
nice video, so the steel is not for sharpening? i'm just getting on all this kind of stuff.
Its just for putting the edge back on the blade
The steel is for re-aligning the edge.
This video is a terrible example of how to sharpen a knife. I'd suggest looking up how to use flat stones rather than a garbage pull-through. If you've got a garbage knife with soft steel and *softly* pull it through, you might get.. something. Most decent steels are just going to get rippled and cut like shit.
It hones it restores an edge after it rolls “dulls”
I found the best knife sharpener is the Sterling Sharpener. Could not be easer to use.
Get this guy a worksharp.
Thanks I’ve been doing it wrong from day 1
Don't everrrr use them, my god good way to ruin a knife edge
It's because of how hard he was doing it and you really shouldn't use that first side he used unless it is very very dull or has a dent or big scrapes or something then only use the other side of the sharpener.
thank you good info
NEVER USE THOSE! IT TAKES OFF WAY TO MUCH MATERIAL!
The comments in here !!! I can’t stop laughing 😆🤣😂😂
“Be sure and wipe your knife off ON YOUR SHIRT after you’re done sharpening if you’re gonna use your knife for FOOD PREP or SURGICAL/MEDICAL whatever”. Okay, got it! So, how’s things going at Chipotle these days?
I don't think a Gerber or pocket knife will be used for surgery or food prep.
A steel does not give you a new edge but deburrs the edge. The only item that gives you a new edge is a stone.
Nope will not pull any of my blades through carbide. Will ruin a blade. The ceramics i use to straighten the edge between stone sharpening
u are also using the honing rod the wrong way, stroke it in reverse not slice the bugger
This is hurtful...
that is not razor sharp that tour the paper I know because I have a razor sharp knife it's a buck 110 I even have a video on it and also carbide is really bad for your knife the ceramic side of the sharpener is better because it doesn't damage your knife as much
Dude I've seen you around youtube, also I have a buck 327 nobleman and I'm looking for a good sharpener but I don't want to send alot of money any idea's?

+the god of weapons Okay thanks! I seen your buck 110 video. what's your thoughts on the buck nobleman?
Any buck knive is good quality and sharp and very well priced that's why buck is the American logo of knifes
+the god of weapons yes! but sadly the nobleman is imported ): it has 440a steel.. but still amazing
i can shave with my knife i done it my way
Better to free hand sharpen, takes a little practice to get good at it..Smith's makes excellent, reasonably priced sharpening equipment...
Neither of these knives are even close to razor sharp
This is knife abuse lol
dude when your knife is sharp you don't have to hold the paper tight between your fingers & saw the paper in 2 you can just let one end hang-& the knife will CUT the paper not fold the edge over before basically tearing it apart.

those sharpeners don't work. if you want an actual sharp knife use whetstones.
This video is not helpful at all but i def dig the words not syncing up with video haha being stoned a 130 am makes everthing funny i guess
And behind the sharpener is most of the guys blade lol, awesome way to destroy your blade
This dude can't even cut paper
Please don't use these types of sharpener they damage your blade
I don't really see the difference
“Hope you all uhh enjoyed my video of me fucking up all my knives please like and subscribe “

Hahahahaha he is a comedian
😂😂😂 more dislikes😂😂😂 terrible quality tho...
That sharpener does not work sorry
Wow! How NOT to sharpen a knife?
Bruh you used a pull sharpener?
XD
You just ripped all the hard metal out of your edge lol
Use a stone if you want a *real* edge
I am so cringed out rn you have no idea
REALLY ...didn't cut through paper like a sharp knife would. TERRIBLE, it tore through the paper,
Srry to tell ya but bud ya need to learn how to sharpen
Mine are sharper and I don't even sharpen them

I don't agree with this. He's doing it too hard
sad...
HAHHAHAHHAHA
