How do you go about doing that? Just a normal ceramic cup with a slight inset bottom? What about the angle and strokes, do you do it like you would usually a file? Genuine questions, was debating getting a whetstone but I've never sharpened a blade
Excellent video! Great tutorial. Using a sharpening plate produces scratches! Cant use it on worksharp precision as the blade isnt wide enough! Ingenious solution! Cheers
I like the sandpaper sharpening hone...can carry in my overnighter and sharpen my pen knife. Needed to cut fruits in a hotel recently in a hotel...had to sharpen the knife with the base of a ceramic cup. My pen knife was new, didn't realize it was so dull. Was is super glue, E6000? Not so easy to get where I am. Thanks for sharing though.
Eazylap makes a diamond pocket sharpening rod that works pretty well mine sits in a slip sheath along with my SAK Hiker. Also Victorinox used to sell a 3" pocket honing steel which is just as useful as the easylap at rescuing an abused edge .
I like it. BUT I'd like to mention when I strop I roll blade on spine, not the edge when transitioning strokes back and forth is the way i learned, and adhere to. It saves the burr from rolling if you don't lift it properly. IMHO. Again, excellent vidiography and content. Thank you for posting, i like it very much for adding to a kit, and it's simplicity and functionality. *edited for grammar
For honing, ceramic cup is honestly better, sandpaper isn't really good at sharpening, it's more meant for removing round amounts of material or polishing. Ceramic cup is honestly better
I mean, this works. As long as you already have wood, glue, double sided tape, sand papers, leather and diamond paste laying around your house. Because if you have to go out to buy those, you might as well just pick up a 10 dollar sharpening stone instead. Stropping can be done on either an old leather belt or jeans.
Some questions need to be answered. (1) What aggressiveness or grit sandpapers? (2) exactly what kind of glue? (3) What exactly is the blue formula you put on (which might be understood by some viewers)? (4) Why the process be done as you showed instead of using a sharpening stone followed by similar finishing method?
1) 600 grit, then 1500 grit sandpapers. 2) rubber cement 3) the diamond paste comes in different formulations. 4000 grit or smaller should suffice. It will also be listed as "microns." 4 to .5 microns will work, and you can make more than one strop for different compounds. "Green" polishing compound should work as well. 4) both methods are equally valid.
Nice! However, you use a WAY larger angle than the angle this.blades edge bevels come with! PS Tape is a better solution than glue. It will provide a more flat and even surface.
Just buy a sharpener. I’ve got a keychain model that works perfect. This case I’ve got to find and buy: sandpaper, emery cloth, wood slat, glue, tape, blue schitt, ….,,,GL. WTF?
This thing should not be called an army knife. The metal is so soft and does not last long. Once I clean it with water, the part inside is swollen because it is made of paper. the quality is so poor and the price is extremely expensive.
You probably got a chinese copy. I have a 40-year-old swiss army knife still in perfect condition despite being used almost every day, cleaned, sharpened, etc.. The only frail part is the toothpick. And it's called army knife because it is provided to every Swiss soldier on his first day in the military.
This is an easy, affordable alternative that’s very portable. I’m tempted to make a set for my go bag for field touch up. Of course a fancy system is nice but for your soft-steel $35 SAK this is all you need.
@@idrinkwine flip a mug and sharpen it on the bottom side, or get ANY stone from the closest store you will find. These two are already better then sticking grinding paper to wood LOL
@@JohnDoe-el5ir Done that, and you're right that works very well. I also have a stone that works well. But mugs and stones are not very light packable. An option like this, that I already knew, is allright for emergency bags. And yes, Victorinox has a small packable solution too but even though not expensif really not affordable for me now, what I do have is sandpaper and wood and thats why I support these ideas.
Jeeezzzusssss! It would be CHEAPER and FASTER to just buy a small diamond file from the same hardware store you got the two sheets of sandpaper, roll of double sided tape, wood strips and glue from! FAIL! LOL
Of course everybody has wood, sandpaper, leather and diamond paste at home. How much are the materials? I would buy a CC4 or DC4.
Just sharpen on the bottom of a porcelain tea cup. Easy peasy.
I always do that, dead sharp.
I always carry a porcelain tea cup when I am camping, so this is a great idea.

Nice, but technically, you just made another "Special Knife Sharpener."
Exactly
Just buy a small stone
remember guys "a sharper knife is safer than a dull one"
No special knife sharpener, proceeds to homemaker a special knife sharpener!

E6000 it's a flexible glue for general use. For the leather strop you can use any specific leather glue.
simple sharpener.... 😍👍👍👍
I just use a victorinox sharpener, just like carrying a pen in my pocket....always there when I need it.
Was für eine Paste haben Sie verwendet, um das Messer ab zu ziehen?
Good video! 👌🏼🇲🇽

Nice! But what sandpaper did you use?
Wet/dry
Wet and/or dry kind 😂
So how does this compare to using a ceramic cup?
For honing, ceramic cup is honestly better, sandpaper isn't really good at sharpening, it's more meant for removing round amounts of material or polishing. Ceramic cup is honestly better
BRB. about to go get the compound paste out of the freezer I've been saving for a special occasion.
Near the beginning of your video, you used your Swiss Army knife to slice up the sandpaper.
That would dull the tip for sure!
Brilliant idea! What grit for each of the sandpapers?
600 and 1500
Hmm. Looking at my Kershaw Blur now.

is that engineers blue you are using please?
I would go with proper stones, for small blade like these a Fällkniven DC4 followed by a CC4 and a strop loaded with 0.1 micron diamond paste

Why will they not sharpen on any bench stone?
"Perfect Swiss Army Knife sharpening without Special Knife Sharpeners" - then spends most of the video making a special knife sharpeners.
Thanks Joni. Easy to pack, also 👍
I think it’s Jony.
Nice! However, you use a WAY larger angle than the angle this.blades edge bevels come with! PS Tape is a better solution than glue. It will provide a more flat and even surface.
A sharpening stone will last for your entire life and over several generations after you.
It's a tried and proven method of sharpening a knife. I use it a lot on my knives.
what peeling paste do you use for the knife ?
Any Jewelers rouge or buffing compound will do, try the green compound first.
The most time-consuming methodology? Just buy a small stone.
pretty good video while baked
Well done. Brilliant video. 😊😊
Awesome!
What grade of leather did you use?
Honestly u got to be kidding
Infinitely easier than getting a whet rock from the cabinet😏
I don’t know…..”The juice is not worth the squeeze” ….to me.
Great diplomacy.
I love your turn of phrase. Wonderful.
Attention span honed on SpongeBob SquarePants was it?
Just put it on one of the 20 wet stones you have in the shed😂😂😂🎉❤
Waste of time Click Bait@
Just buy a Fällkniven DC4 or CC4.
I am using the Victorinox pull through sharpener for my SAKs. Not perfect but alright. My thought....
Just buy a Norton sharpening stone.
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
I have a 40yr old aluminum oxide sharpening block that does the trick.
Excellent video - thanks
LOL i got clickbaited so hard..
I like it!
Silly. Any stone on the ground will sharpen a knife.
5:30 minute sharpening video…actual sharpening begins around 4 minutes in.
I just spent over $1000 so I could slice threw paper. I wish I would have seen this video sooner.
Very good, thanks...
just use a couple of grits on the spongey back of a mouse pad and then strop
If you can afford the knife, you can afford a cheap diamond sharpener
Very nice! 😎👍🏻
Well for me you have made special tools so I’d rather use victorinox ring sharpener.
First showing how dull the knife blade is and then using it to cut stuff with. Totally legit I guess (probably another knife I know, calm down)
Just buy a sharpener. I’ve got a keychain model that works perfect. This case I’ve got to find and buy: sandpaper, emery cloth, wood slat, glue, tape, blue schitt, ….,,,GL. WTF?
Just look from the other side:
if you have all this at home, you dont have to buy a sharpener ;)
Come on! It's quite handy tip for a fraction of the price!
Just use a brick and some cardboard
очень много лишних приспособлений
очень большой угол, на глазок около 40-45 град. Но может для такого клинка это и норм.
"How to build something using more time and effort and $$$ than buying a little sharpener." Glad I didn't sit through this whole thing.
No Audio instructions! Not really watchable!
Just being lazy.
2:50 Super Glue
Just no🎉😂😂😂

Too many video cuts
Too believe
Buy a decent sharpener. This is BS
Your reaction is BS. Buy, buy, buy, Why?? If you can and want to make something yourself this video is, amongst others, just fine.
This is an easy, affordable alternative that’s very portable. I’m tempted to make a set for my go bag for field touch up.
Of course a fancy system is nice but for your soft-steel $35 SAK this is all you need.
