Thank you for doing this video! I was one of the people that specifically asked for it. The video turned out great! The close up shots were plenty close and detailed to see what you were doing.
That had some great pointers, I did my first boning knife a few days ago, I sharpen edge leading and got up into the slack area and cut my belt, but after some slow and nervous work it turned out well. Thanks for the video.
Perfect. Exactly what I needed to watch. I'd love to see a video of you sharpening a real long ultra thin flexible fillet knife on the 1x30. Been having a few issues with them. Cheers
I have a modified harbor freight with a sewing machine motor. I use my finger on the back side of the belt when it’s going really slow. It’s crazy how long you can do it before the friction gets your finger warm
You do great videos and I would like to do some videos to promote my sharpening business. would you do a video talking about equipment and techniques you use to create videos?
refers to the direction the belt is going into the knife is edged leading away is edge trailing. I mostly sharpen edge leading but for things like boning and fillet knives I go edge trailing.
One topic you mentioned in passing - damaging a customer's knife. You said you have accidentally touch a handle to a moving belt. What is your policy and procedure for damage/accidents when they happen with a customer's knives. Maybe you don't want to admit to it on camera - which is fine. Do you have insurance for things like that. I have opted to go "self insured" because most knives are sub $100 and so if I damage something like that once in a blue moon then it's cheaper to just pay out of pocket probably rather than some monthly premium. Could be a good video topic.
I have a 1 million umbrella policy but just about anything I would damage I can fix I can shape and polish handles in 4 years I only ruined 1 knife and it was a mistake from not knowing about a knife that shun made that I thought was chipped but it was an intentional design made by them. I thought it was a broken knife so reprofileed it into a regular Shun shaped paring knife. The client had mailed me 27 knives and said a few need repairs. She wasn’t specific on what ones and I told her it looked broken but it was my boneheaded move thinking I had seen everything shun had made It was a mistake and I offered to buy her a new one. She was kind and refused to let me pay for it. But if you make a mistake you can’t fix best thing is own it and try to make it right if you can.

Thank you for watching - yes after cutting them I usually just give in and go edge trailing for this style knife and do everything else leading

I have always wanted to do that, I think is a good way to sharp a thin knife
Thank you for watching
You do great videos and I would like to do some videos to promote my sharpening business. would you do a video talking about equipment and techniques you use to create videos?
Sure I can add that to my list good idea 👍
Nice camera, but you need to buy a mic.
Good videos, nonetheless .
😎👍
have some new ones now
Is it possible to change the belt directions of travel if it rotates towards you like mine ?
yes with a motor converson
That’s pretty nice! What rpm’s you recommend for that?
between 1500-2200 I tend to go to 1500 for these and also serrated work
Edge leading?

@@ALXSHARPEN Yeah that's sort of what I figured and the approach I would take.
Great Video! Hey you have awfully hairy arms.... Are you sure you're a knife sharpener??? :)
Stopped watching. Thought it was a knife sharpening video. It turned out to be a how-to film knife sharpening video.
you do know you can jump ahead in the video right I even time coded it in the description
