Consistency is key! I've been practicing and was disheartened when the first few tries made my knives duller! But once you get the hang of it, the satisfaction of being able to get really sharp knives is pretty cool.

Was lucky enough to take a in person class with Peter, and this video is bulk of the lesson ( consistency 101 ) Purchased a few items from PaulsFinest showed up quickly and as advertised.

Very nice video. I've been teaching sharpening for a while, I have a (very) litte local sharpening business, I see that you know your stuff. Very clear, very simple, just the way it should be. Except for a few minor details, that's exactly what I teach my students in my 3-hour course. By the way, I just bought 30 minutes ago a chosera 3000 from Paul ;-) (that's how I found you) Thanks! 👍👍

Excellent video.

Excellent demonstration and thanks for sharing the knowledge.

This is a very useful, very detailed sharpening guide! I watched carefully several times. Thanks!

Great video! I will follow this again when my stone etc arrives!

Alrighty. You’ve convinced me. I’ll buy the darn stones. :)

Excellent video, one of the best I've seen in my knife sharpening journey!!

Finally honest and very good review

Thanks very much for this!

Εξαιρετικό βίντεο, ένα από τα καλύτερα που έχω δει ! ! !

I like your style brother aloha from Hawaii 🤙

Really great video, thanks! You definately have “The Touch”. I’ve been sharpening all my life and I’m well due for a set of good stones. I just happen to live in Montreal and found Paul’s Finest yesterday in a random search. I’ll be placing my order today, and BTW I can now imagine Howie Mandel sharpening knives 😆

I like your instructions subscribed,just got some stones now the learning begins. 👍

Some people never flatten their stones and results are very bad. Inconsistent angle created by concave surface increases metal fatigue and can even cause microchips on the edge. For razors absolute flatness is required. For knives it depends on your target sharpness. I love cutting paper towel, edge needs to be clean, sharp and result is sturdy enough for delicate kitchen use. A simple ruler test is enough for paper towel. As long as no light passes under the ruler the stone is flat enough. I plan on evaluating hanging hair tests for kitchen knives. How this edge will behave on different food and edge durability. If this proves to be a better option I'll probably need to change how I approach flatness.

Excellent instructions and enjoyable to watch. I really love how slow and precise you teach. Now I just need to practice. I have heard that you can use low grit stone (150-200) to help flatten your sharpening stones. Is this correct, or do you suggest getting a flattening stone? Thanks for your info I will be watching.

hello, i have a question. I have just bought the shapton 1000 glass as my first and only stone. would this be enough for a beginner like me to get a knife scary sharp? thanks

what is grit stone number for knife slaughter?

Where do you get a tray and holder like that ? Glass tub or tray and holder with the thing the holder is sitting on. I like that.

Nice! Say you had a shorter knife would you still raise your elbow on the tip?

Great video! LOOK OUT RYKY the gloves are off!.. lol just kidding I love Ryky but I also disagree with him about flattening. I have the EXACT same pair of glasses that are at the bottom left! Small world....

What kind of resovior is that? The container where you have water is convenient. You have a link for that?

Took 3 times and found my stride. I go slower but I am getting much better and my knifes are definitely sharper and I hope to be able to get them so sharp where you barely touch them and you draw blood. Lol sounds crazy but that is my goal.

John, no I don’t like to hear myself talk at all. No need to make comments like that. I’m a 66 year old veteran, they mean nothing to me.

Basic tutorial....

You like hearing yourself talk!! You talk way too much. !! Let's just stay focused and repeat only important information !! No need to overtalk !! I learned some new things ,but it took awhile to get pass all the unnecessary talking!!
