Nice Cooks knife. One Cooks knife I like is the one in Townseds catalog. I have a half dozen or more oil stones. I like the new set I bought from Amazon a while back. Made by Kerry. My Cooks knife will get a few licks on my stones every few months. My finger tells me when it is sharp enough. I want it to be able to slice tomatoes and cut up a head of cabbage.
Thanks for the info John. What do you think of those simple knife sharpeners that have 3 places where you draw the knife towards you in each section starting with the coarse working your way to the fine?
You are correct sir. Going unscripted has produced a few errors. I will work on that part moving forward. Thanks for viewing and thanks for commenting!
Stropping only works until the blade gets too thick and the apex gets too wide to cut.. Eventually, you have to thin the steel behind the edge and that requires a stone.
A leather strop is not necessary. All you need is a flat plate, a piece of denim, and metal polish compound, such as Mothers Metal Polish, which you can find in the automotive section. The bottle of Mothers Metal Polish will last you for years and can be used for many other uses, such as polishing stainless steel pots. For a sharpening stone, I recommend Atoma diamond plates which are superb and a bargain now because of the weak Japanese yen.
This video was geared toward newbies, I get alot of questions on how to keep knives sharp. I'll go into more technical video down the road including using denim , cardboard, your thumb, etc along with reviewing compounds and paste and whether or no they are necessary
@@JohnKlahr I have a nice leather strop, but I think denim works better, and it's basically free. As for compound, Mothers metal polish is cheap, easily available, and seems to be consistent. The downside is that you have to let it dry for a while because it's too liquid, and it gives off petroleum fumes for a while.

Makes perfect sense, right in my budget to boot
Just make sure your stopping compound is good quality, I just got some from Amazon and wasted alot of effort before realizing the compound was trash.
@@JohnKlahr thanks, I have some from Tandy Leather ™ that I use for my swivel knife, should serve
Thanks for the information.
That's what I'm here for! Thanks for viewing and don't forget about the giveaway

Tomatoes are always the test for a good prep knife huh.
Thanks for checking out my video,
Looks like this is helpful video

I think they will ruin a blade
minor correction...The Green compound is Chromium Oxide, not silicon compound as stated at 3:15 in the video. (Chromium Oxide is carcinogenic)

Agree, and that could be years if using modern steels
Next time put a link on your stuff down below in the video, dude
Yes, that is an older video before I started my oneangrykid.com
