Thank-you…Thank-you….Thank-you. Been Ice Fishing since the 1970’s. Solved the problem of dull blades via purchasing new. Used to pay as little as $8 for a set. Never recognized the Two Angle edge configuration. Very helpful.
@@EngineeringHooksets , thing I noticed is that you said put the shim at the back of the blade, which would force the cutting edge inwards, the wrong way. Checked another video and it says put it at the front. FYI.
@70Marc shim placement depends on how you want your blade to cut. More aggressive angle = harder to turn but more ice per turn. Less aggressive angle = easier to turn but less ice per turn.
YOUR PARENTS SHOULD BE VERY PROUD THEY DID GOOD.....I THOUGHT RESPECTFUL YOUNG MEN WERE A THING OF THE PAST.....KEEP IT UP!!!!!ITLL TAKE YOU PLACES ONLY FEW HAVE BEEN
Good tutorial video. It is better to sharpen your own but I get just buying new ones. Some people don't have time. But you can just sharpen stuff while you're watching TV. 👍
Sharpening shops never seem to do well for me. I've sharpened them fairly well myself but nothing beats new and they last a long time if you don't abuse them. Cutting bottom or slamming blades on the ice are what I see too many people do.
Excellent tutorial, thank you. Question for you though… my 8” Mora blades are somewhat concave (moreso than yours appear to be?). What would you recommend in that case? I’m just not sure if I can get the right angle on the whetstone - Thanks again
Thank you! I would say just try to rotate the blade while you bring it across the stone as best you can to match the curve. It doesn't need to be 100% perfect, just do your best. Good luck!
I have the 8' mora, but I don't have that small anodized metal spacer...can you tell me how thick that small piece is for me to try to duplicate one please?
I don't have the auger with me atm but I googled it and people are saying to either use 1) aluminum foil tape, or 2) a piece of aluminum from a soda/beer can
Nice job I seen you trying to use it in the first video it looked like it was not cutting to good. who say's you cant sharpen those that's crazy!! if it has a edge you can sharpen it just like a knife.
Vegetable oil gets really sticky because it dries out. I would wash your stone and use a light machine oil. Water works too but not as well as oil. Just a tip
Thank-you…Thank-you….Thank-you.

Glad it helped you out!
Awesome video. The only thing I would recommend is mineral oil instead of canola as it can't go rancid. Tight lines brother
very helpful video young nab did good job.
Whole bunch of other videos on this. Just watched yours first. Good enough! Seems like you know what your doing. Thanks. Going to try it now. 👍
Thanks! Hope it works for you

I immediately thought of that too@@70Marc

Yeah everyone has their own preferences
Blacken the cutting edge with a sharpie marker to see that you are at the correct angle with your stone!
Good tip!
Useful! Well done!
Thanks!
Great practical and helpful video dude!
Thanks!

Its all what works for the individual
You can also touch them up with a piece of emery cloth on a flat surface (glass or steel)
Good tip!

@@EngineeringHooksetsI came here with the exact same question. It’s honestly better to just buy new ones

Great vid. I did buy new blades but I will sharpen the old set and have a spare. Seen Dpuck mention you in his shoutout vid, so +1 sub!

Yeah Im not sure why so many people have that opinion. Maybe its a conspiracy by the blade companies 😂
looks like a waterstone, should try soaking it in water.

Put a sharpie mark on the bevel. Then you will know you are at the correct angle.

Good tip!
Nice cabinets mat
Nice backsplash myat
@@matthewmartin926 thanks mat
Mineral oil is cheap by the grocery pharmacy. It won’t go rancid.
Good tip! Thank you
Skip to 5 minutes if you want to learn how he sharpens his blades😴
👍
Thank you for the view, Dan!
I'm pretty sure that is the way everyone is trying to sharpen their blades and failing, study about how to use your stone too.
Found blades for 19.99
Nice!
