Thank you Hank, had the Jet whetstone for years and have had a hard time getting good edges with it due to lack of knowledge. I appreciate your intention to achieve excellent usefulness creating an edge that is visually appealing.
I’ve still got my Jet, & have updated, or duplicated some of the parts, with Tormek parts. The new strop works on my Jet, but my Jet strop is bigger than the Tormek’s. I even got the swivel to work, on my Jet. It’s too bad they don’t make the Jet, anymore. It’s a Great Machine, like the Tormek. I still love my Jet, but the Tormek, wouldn’t break my heart, either. Especially, since the jigs, are pretty much identical, & work the same way. I’m waiting for the Recurve Blade demonstration. I’ve got an Emerson Super Commander, I am going to work on. Thanks, good video!
Thank you very much. I really can not recall the type of stone because it is a long type ago. All I remember I could make it grid 300 and grid 1000 with the coursening stone. All my sharpening equipment (including Water Jet) went to a friend of me starting a sharpening business. I used it just not that much.
Ja Henk den 200s ,ich schleife mit Naniwa Wassersteinen oder mit dem Apex habe aber auch den Work Sharp und anderes...Meine Klingen sind alle Spiegelpoliert und extrem scharf....
Ich habe einge von deinem schleifvideos angeschaut und sie machen sicher eine gutes ergebnis HD. MIr selbst wurde nich das Work Sharp gebrauchen wegen die gefahr von verbranntem schnitt. Ich habe auch noch das Apex aber für mich ist das leider nich geeignet..Weiss nicht warum...Und dan habe ich das Lansky systeem..ich brauche nur die steine fürs schleiffen mit freie hand...
Nice video, nice sharpener and nice skills. I too though that you would have to go manual with a recurved as I can't really picture how it can be done while on the guided rod. You said below that it can be done so I believe you :)
I couldn't tell well enough in the video, but as you sharpened the water looked like it was dribbling past the reservoir basin, and onto the counter. Is that what you experienced, or did it actually make it back into the reservoir? Looked wet and messy lol. Also, do you find swarf getting into the pivot area as you sharpen? I know you set it for 20 degrees, was that inclusive or 20 deg each side? I wish manufacturers would take one of the stock knives they design, and sharpen them, to see how badly sharpening notches are needed. It is a moot point for many collectors, but for those of us that sharpen them, well, you know what results from it. Regardless, she looked nice and sharp, and ready to do some work :D Well done. My gf was actually looking at one of these to purchase for me this xmas, but I had her buy me a couple knives instead. Kinda think I made the wrong decision now haha
Hi Jef. It is a bit messy when sharpening in the beginning with water all over. But it stays on the counter. I being patient it will be less messy...but then i need to wait with sharpening till the stone is soaked with water. THen most will get bac in the reservoir. THe way i do it (not waiting) will let the water flow around. One of the things i like is that the sharpening keeps the knife very clean on the inside. So no mess inside the ivot area. The angle was each side. I like this machine a lot. Not as fast as a Worksharp f.e., but no chance to mess the heath treat/burn your edge. The stropping part i like the most...
KnifeCollector031 The Netherlands if u sharpen it with the wheel spinning with the bevel instead of going against the bevel u will barely spill water at all and accomplishes the same thing. Ppl used to using manual water stones have a hard time getting used to doing it that way.
You should have wheel turning away from you. This is for a couple reasons. One it’s safer. But the best reason is it’s much better for the knife. It’s a softer way to sharpen so the results are a little slower but the control is better and much more forgiving. Your knife blade will be deformed much less and less material will be removed from your blade and the stone will last longer
I am aware of this Gary. Very much appreciated. But I like to do it this way without pressure so the removal of material is not that relevant. But good point for sure!
Nice sharpening job Henk. Thanks for taking us along for the process.
U're welcome Steve. My pleasure.
Thank you Hank, had the Jet whetstone for years and have had a hard time getting good edges with it due to lack of knowledge. I appreciate your intention to achieve excellent usefulness creating an edge that is visually appealing.
Thanks Henk! Great job! Real sharp! I am very happy that Hogue is ready for a new job. Very much appreciated!!!
I hope it serves you well..
Good stuff my friend, now that's how you get it done
Thanks Richard...

Henk, man you really have some unbelievable skills. Great job on that Hogue. You're very quick too.
Aha, it is really very simple Wes...the machine does it all :-) It would be even quicker as i did the fastforward on a higher speed LOL
Good video. I just ordered the Jet system. What is the stone that you are using?

Y'all have different electrical outlets then us. Cool vid henk
Ye luckily we have...or else our plugs would not fit :-)LOL...
Good work Henk!!!
Thanks Jörg.
Nice video, nice sharpener and nice skills.

I will show one with a recurve soon...to demonstrate.
really nice sharpening video
I hope it shows enough of the machine and how to use it for sharpening and general sharpening issues...can not really judge it myself..
it does!! and u did a fantastic job
Hi Henk. Nice Job. How you sharpening a knife with a Recurve. Is its possible with such a machine?
LG André
Same way André...dspite the recurve the angle will stay the same..only the recurve will bring the edge further upwards on the stone..
I couldn't tell well enough in the video, but as you sharpened the water looked like it was dribbling past the reservoir basin, and onto the counter. Is that what you experienced, or did it actually make it back into the reservoir? Looked wet and messy lol. Also, do you find swarf getting into the pivot area as you sharpen?

He added too much water. He filled it passed the max fill line. It will not make a mess if it is done right.

A bit messy but i know it beats my 20 year old lansky three stone system any day :D
The mess is because i don't soak the stones before starting sharpening...if i had some patience it would be less messy :-)
