Stone only the stone nothing but the stone then keep it keen with a good steel. Worked for me! 20yrs a knife hand. No such thing as a stay sharp, Total bullshit. I have a good giggle whenever I see them in people's houses, like friends and relatives.
@@randomusernumber1 haha your lack of understanding of humor is funnier than the original joke, which was actually funny even if it is an overused unoriginal joke.
Never heard about the sandpaper/drill method - but just using sandpaper works really well for field-expedient sharpening. Even better so if you insert a piece of soft mat (eg a mousepad) between the table and the sandpaper. If the paper is water-proof, adding a little H2O will speed up the process. Also, when doing this, you learn about the *enormous* differences in the quality of various sandpaper brands.
I've been using ceramic mugs ,car window's, glass ash trays and such for years to put an edge on blades . the angle you hold the knife is more important than what u use to sharpen with but nuts and bolts well that's just nuts ;)
So many people I know have fallen for these hacks and I am now adding you to my list of people to watch before they screw something up .Nice job my friend a genuine public service . Thank you .
I found a floor tile lying around my apartment, not sure if its ceramic or what but it works great for me. It has 2 rough edges and 2 smoother edges which is perfect for sharpening a blade. I sharpened a machete that was dull from cutting through small trees and bushes and it can cut through paper with ease just to give an idea how good this works..
My favorite is to use the top of my door glass in my truck. Granted it's not truly sharpening the blade as it is honing it but ever since I found that little trick out it's about all I do to maintain my blade edges anymore. Ive heard the rough ceramic bottom on coffee cups works just as well but I find the auto glass much more convenient for me, much, much more space to use the auto glass when compared to the coffee mugs.
Super easy and quick method i use all the time: step: 1. buy a cheap polish machine or sharpening 2. make a wheel of MDF en put it on 3. turn machine on and use a chisel to make the wheel perfect round and egde straight. 4. put some polishing compound (al-oxide) 5. sharpen your knife or chisel in 10 sec. this will give you a mirror edge and it doesn't heat the blade that quickly.
My favorite knife sharpening hack is the harbor freight 1x30 Belt Sander only for the belts, you go on Amazon and get the belt specifically for knife sharpening for around $50. But this setup doesn't require the Amazon kit. When I first tried it, I bought a leather belt from eBay and yeah, it definitely works. If the metal of a blade is decent, like not a $10 MTech knife, I can get everything sharp with that route. Now I leave it at work and sharpen all my coworkers knives from home or their personal knife.
I just tried sharpening a kitchen knife with the bottom of a tea cup it was very dull now im shaving hair out of arm am i natural at this And i just got carried away but i love this channel cant get enough of it thanks a lot
Thanks for doing this to your knives because there is no Way any of my knives would go anywhere near any of these "hacks" besides most of these seem like more work than properly sharpening.
Haha yeah it doesn't make sense..just use the sand paper by itself, no need for a drill lol. Now I have to try and fix the knife it screwed up...thanks for watching 👍😀
Coffee cups, a good hard ceramic tile [I like the kind which is like china and has the hexagonal processing glue backing pattern because I like how it cuts, but smooth and flat are fine], or, in a real pinch, a high end diamond fingernail file [but you have to go very gently so you do not knock the diamonds off since they are not well mounted!] for a very keen edge.
I put a pull through sharpener in my kitchen drawer because I got tired of sharpening my $10 kitchen knife on my Worksharp KO edition. It is what it is.
the coffee cup trick has saved me so many times over the years.... and I learned that from watching a docu about glass a couple decades ago, where they pointed out that it's stronger then steel which got me thinking. Moral of the comment, think before you act, but being curious is key. for example I'm sure that if you had the finesse/agility to use the flint stone in a lighter you could sharpen the knife better then you could with sandpaper, I would never have though about that if I didn't randomly click on this video because I got curious.
Thanks for watching! A quality knife should never be sharpened using any of these "hacks" It will most likely ruin your knife. Using fine grit wet/dry sand paper is perfectly acceptable by hand. I have another video where I demonstrate sharpening on a cup. Again thank you for watching and the comment👍
ohh boy...where iwork at if you dont know how to sharpen a blade....its fun to watch. i tried showing a guy how to use a rough and a honing steel and he never got it down
2 Things materials have to have in order to sharpen knives: - A material that is harder than the knifes edge - A material that scratches the knifes edge and creates metal "burr" or "bur" IDK but that's what it's called
I have used the coffee mug trick for decades. 8-10 strokes every day using the knife, stays sharp forever. I got the correct angle embedded in my wrist now. All my cups are a little worn on the bottom.
So all of my knives are inbetween the razor sharp Spiderco and the dull-ish kitchenaid. Leans more towards the spiderco but anyway, is that sharp enough?
when he said its better to use the bottom of the mug, well its true,not him first i saw i saw it earlier on a army guy giving tips to sharpen a edge of a knife.,thank you man
I and many others were using the so called Scary Sharp process ages before it was introduced, because it works. Of course, we, as beginners to the sharpening world, were just using common sense and taking advantage of what we had. However, we did question our wisdom, since so many "experts" said it was wrong or not good enough. Now, of course, I now the experts weren't [experts]. A flat piece of glass with wet-or-dry sandpapers will do wonders at sharpening. The water both holds the paper to the glass and lubricates during sharpening (wipe the blade and glass clean between grits. Just work your way up the grits, using the next one to get rid of sanding marks from the previous grit. In addition to picking a good sharpening angle, the most critical thing to sharpening is, maintaining it during the sharpening process. If you deviate, even a degree or two, you can set yourself back to go. As such, a method or jig to insure you maintain the angle is your best friend. Keep in mind, there will always be know-it-alls who ramble about muscle memory, but who don't understand: 1) many only have to sharpen occasionally, so will never get the practice to develop it; and, 2) many have a broad assortment of things to sharpen and each one takes a different angle, making it impossible to attain expert muscle memory. That includes things like, kitchen and pocket or skinning knives, all of which require different angles, axes, lawn mower blades, straight edge razors, planer blades, turning knives, chisels, . . . ___________________________________ SIDE NOTE: No one having a knife they like, and having a knowledge of sharpening methods and means, would use a course grinder or gimmick sharpener to sharpen the fine steel of their Spyderco, Benchmade or what-have-you knife. They eat too much treasured steel. Eventually, as your sharpening efforts move you farther and farther up the blade, the metal gets thicker, causing the same angle you started with to produce more of an ax like edge than the fine cutting cutting edge you started with. When this happens, we "re-profile" the blade. That is, we take the thickness back down, so the chosen edge angle will still give us the results we wanted.
Your comment is chock full of information and I’m too exhausted to go thru every point you made :( Maintaining a perfect angle is much less important than forming a proper burr, flipping it to form an apex, and then removing the burr. That is all sharpening is. You can get a fucked up edge with little accuracy to the sharpening angle absolutely screaming razor sharp. It just won’t be pretty
All those methods dont really sharpen a knife "except for sand paper" all they do is make small chips on the knife and it essentially becomes a saw with microscopic "saw teeth" , you are basically sawing the paper not cutting it xD
Exactly thats why you have to hone the blade after that with a stick and then a leather strop... this dude obviously doesnt know shit and im not the type of person to typically hate on vids...
The opening scene is me after sharpening on water stones for 30 mins. Hahaha! I do enjoy the stone method, even if my results are not the same at this time. However after watching you previous video for beginners and the importance on locking in the wrist and elbow, I am making progress. I may get my 20 year old Benchmade sharp before Christmas! Thanks for sharing your craft with us.
I think it's all about going slow in the beginning. Something I didn't do😉 Thanks for the comment my friend. Good luck with your sharpening. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help😀
@@g4mmalotus937 cheapest one I've ever seen in store was a combo of a belt sander and a drum sander for 127 at lowes. But you can find one for 30-at a yard sale, if your lucky.
The top edge of a car or truck window works really well. Especially if the knife is reasonably sharp to begin with. About 3 passes per side of the blade will get you something akin to a surgical scalpel
I've been using sandpaper to sharpen disposable exacto blades for years so I can get a lot more use out of them. Chasing plaster dulls them pretty quick.
Wrapping sand paper works your just did it wrong.. Not to mention you can get a drum sanding attachment for your drill that works great.. Thridly the bottom of a coffee cup can only hone your blade it cannot sharpen a dull knife.. and my last point is that for the nut and bolt hack you're supposed to used hardened steel lugnuts.. Do research before trying to disprove something
I did exactly what was done in other videos without modification lol. Yes I could modify the drill hack to work but that's not what they did in the other videos. Second I have a video where I actually SHARPENED a knife on a coffee cup. Third, hardened steel lug nuts are not close to the hardness needed to sharpen a quality kife blade. Check out how knife steels are graded on hardness. You could also check out some of my other videos. They may enlighten you as to what sharpening means. And why I know what I'm talking about. Thanks for watching 😀
I did 3 strokes either side on a practice knife on a coffee mug. I'm thinking ceramic tiles( straight) ones. And finish with 2000 grit or even 1500 wet and dry.??? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work!
Im a electrician and I save the ceramic knobs and tubes from old electrical methods and I use them to maintain a razor shape edge on my eds work knives
I've tried the plywood wheel, it's not a great method and it was a pain to balance it. Again just like the drill, instead of making bench grinder wheel, you might as well just put metal polish on a cardboard and it will give you the same results as a strop. p.s I've got 3 wooden wheels I will never use if anybody wants them. They are great for flinging metal polish compound at your face and giving you uneven results.
Nice job explaining and exposing the frauds. Now how about a video for your critics on how to " WATCH AND LISTEN" It is frustrating reading peoples's comments criticizing your video and they miss the whole point of the video. They are just spammers looking to trash someone's hard work. There I got that out. BTW...nice job :>)
Haha! I can have a pretty dry sense of humor. Sometimes that doesn't come across well through TH-cam 😀 These methods are silly an will ruin a knife. The real sand paper "hack" is useful and gives excellent results. It's just so simple it doesn't look "cool". This was just a fun mythbusting knife video 😀 Thanks for the comment my friend!😀👍
why are all of the people commenting on the video acting like they know what they are talking about??! the"sandpaper on drill chuck" thing could have worked if he had used higher grain sandpaper and done it sideways instead of straight, doing this would result in an hollow edge that is a lot sharper than any other edge you could get using wet stones.
Herb Toker, thank you for telling me about my writing mistake, hope you feel like you actually had an good argument in this discussion, because "No" tells me nothing
I work in a bar, where we use knives, just for lemons, oranges & other acidic fruits, and once i got tip to sharpen the knife on the edge of the steel egde of a bar, and than several times on the edge of a cup. It works, but for really really short time.
The sandpaper method works (kinda) but you need to know what you are doing to not damage it. Sandpaper is basically improvised turning stone for sharpening.
That's why I labeled it as plausible. It will technically sharpen a knife but NOT recommended. The larger clump of glue under the sand paper is a problem. I have experience doing these type of things. And some knife making in general. Check out some of my other vids. This would not be a good thing for someone looking to sharpen their first knife. It will ruin it. In this video I just repeated what the other hack videos did. I didn't modify it to help them work in any way. Thanks for the comment 👍

Me too😬
Well
mine was the paper test after the dulling cos that it what happens after i sharpen my knives too.

Was thinking the same thing before i saw this lol

Your first method that you thought was “ehh” produced better results than I am able to achieve on my expensive Japanese whetstone.
These 'Hacks' seem to take more time than it would've taken to go buy at Least a Sharpening Rod or ( Forgive Me) a Pull through sharpener!

Second I have a video where I actually SHARPENED a knife on a coffee cup. Third, hardened steel lug nuts are not close to the hardness needed to sharpen a quality kife blade. Check out how knife steels are graded on hardness. You could also check out some of my other videos. They may enlighten you as to what sharpening means. And why I know what I'm talking about. Thanks for watching 😀
I like your sense of humor. Totally going to do the drill hack though, but for a belt sander not a knife sharpener. Just going to make it more stern.
don't believe what i see on the internet?? so do we have to believe you???? (creepy iluminati music)
You don’t have to believe me. Go try these for yourself. Just don’t use a good knife 😀
OUTDOORS55 you did it for us thank you
Man I've seen livelier expressions on cadavers... Crack a smile bro lol
More like ways to hack up a knife beyond repair. It's hella easier to go buy a 3 dollar cheapy sharpening stone.
Yep! I just did a video on that very subject! Thanks for watching my friend😀
I did 3 strokes either side on a practice knife on a coffee mug. I'm thinking ceramic tiles( straight) ones. And finish with 2000 grit or even 1500 wet and dry.??? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work!
3:40 no you did it bad...will this way give professional results?...fuck no but if you did it better it would be ok
Im a electrician and I save the ceramic knobs and tubes from old electrical methods and I use them to maintain a razor shape edge on my eds work knives
the sandpaper on the drill actually seemed to work pretty well, it was your poor technique that messed up the blade.
thumasta666 you could make an mdf wheel and chuck it into a drill. Dozens of videos prove mdf wheel works well.
I've tried the plywood wheel, it's not a great method and it was a pain to balance it. Again just like the drill, instead of making bench grinder wheel, you might as well just put metal polish on a cardboard and it will give you the same results as a strop.
p.s I've got 3 wooden wheels I will never use if anybody wants them. They are great for flinging metal polish compound at your face and giving you uneven results.
ofc if ure using plywood as the wheel theyre useless lmao
Flexing that knife LOL great video, subbed
Nice job explaining and exposing the frauds. Now how about a video for your critics on how to " WATCH AND LISTEN" It is frustrating reading peoples's comments criticizing your video and they miss the whole point of the video. They are just spammers looking to trash someone's hard work. There I got that out. BTW...nice job :>)
Haha! I can have a pretty dry sense of humor. Sometimes that doesn't come across well through TH-cam 😀 These methods are silly an will ruin a knife. The real sand paper "hack" is useful and gives excellent results. It's just so simple it doesn't look "cool". This was just a fun mythbusting knife video 😀 Thanks for the comment my friend!😀👍
so satisfying to watch a sharp knife cut paper
It definitely is👍
why are all of the people commenting on the video acting like they know what they are talking about??! the"sandpaper on drill chuck" thing could have worked if he had used higher grain sandpaper and done it sideways instead of straight, doing this would result in an hollow edge that is a lot sharper than any other edge you could get using wet stones.

Herb Toker, thank you for telling me about my writing mistake, hope you feel like you actually had an good argument in this discussion, because "No" tells me nothing
Lesson from a chef! The cheapest way which is working out quite nicely is a broken plate! Perfect for sharpening knifes
I use a cup... but either works😉
The loud "music" is very annoying.
Turn it down😉
OUTDOORS55 I love it 🤣
please your self to make a comment
Then your voice would be inaudible. I just think it would have been excellent without that distraction.

That was an amazing demo on all sharpening methods. Thanks for the demo and a final solution.
I work in a bar, where we use knives, just for lemons, oranges & other acidic fruits, and once i got tip to sharpen the knife on the edge of the steel egde of a bar, and than several times on the edge of a cup.
It works, but for really really short time.
First video of yours I've seen. Subbing.
The sandpaper method works (kinda) but you need to know what you are doing to not damage it. Sandpaper is basically improvised turning stone for sharpening.
That's why I labeled it as plausible. It will technically sharpen a knife but NOT recommended. The larger clump of glue under the sand paper is a problem. I have experience doing these type of things. And some knife making in general. Check out some of my other vids. This would not be a good thing for someone looking to sharpen their first knife. It will ruin it. In this video I just repeated what the other hack videos did. I didn't modify it to help them work in any way. Thanks for the comment 👍
you are a gem.
rare, and polished.
Ha!!
