I've been buying a lot of budget beater knives and scuffing up the sides of the blades with my little smith's stick. I was dragging the blade all the way across and catching the corner of the sharpening stick on the sides of the blade! Thank you for telling me what not to do. I just thought I wasn't maintaining a good blade angle all the way through for some reason. What a newb move. Very helpful, good sir, thank you.
Took 4:50 of talking before you actually did a slide on the stone. Very informative but my adhd ass almost couldnt wait that long before you finally slid it 😂
Hi Mike......how about dawn/water and maybe single passes, edge trailing since it might not be as harsh since it's a diamond plate? Also, how to order your diamond plate and holder?
Hey thanks for commenting. My supplier changed my minimum order to like 5000 which is a little high for me so unfortunately I had to stop carrying them and I haven’t been able to find a good source for them since.
Been through a few of these tutorial vids and this is by far the best and straight to the point (no pun intended). Thank you!

That was great, thanks. Good to know I've been doing most things correctly
Thanks for this informative video brother.

I know the struggle. I’m trying to learn the H.A.M. Radio I can’t pay attention past like 3 minutes I’m somewhere else lol
Can u do a video and use a straight razor on that diamond stone ? So far there's no video on it that I came across.
Need to get a burr on the one side then switch to other side.
Your site can't be found to order.
Amazing Video, That Helped Me Out So Much Thanks
I've used regular stones a ton
But I wanted something to take with on the go and this was a great video
My Emerson is dummy sharp
Glad I could be of some help!
Hey Mike I don’t see that stone on your website. Thanks for a great lesson

No lubricant?
water is the lubricant for diamond stones. It's one of the main selling points.
Apparently, you shouldn't use water. Leads to rust. Better to use very light oil..e.g. Trend lapping fluid.
Excellent
Good video, thanks
Thanks for the video but you freaked me out every time you "counted" by tapping the edge of the blade on your fingers . . .
