I've been using those knives since the late 60's when in college. Won 2 sets of them in meat judging contest. Worked my way thru college at a meats lab an on the kill floor.

Excellent sharpening how to. Great tip on turning a standard grinder wheel 180 degrees to avoid the excessive cost of a 'professional model' He as some very good videos.

Interesting stuff again Duncan. If you blacken the edge with a sharpie felt, you can tell if your angle is consistent/half decent while you are sharpening. Just a tip for rookies to get a visual

Good video. I’m a butcher myself and have tried out this method for a production setting. Gives not a bad edge for sure. I problem I encountered though was that the edge is thinner doing this method. I found the edge rolling a lot while breaking and deboning beef.

Swibo is the same company as Victorinox now, I think they merged together a few years ago, or something like that anyways. I have a 30cm Victorinox - Swibo knife. It says Victorinox on the blade and Swibo on the yellow handle. Nice video, thanks,

If you flip the machine over you can un screw the base and rotate it to put the switch on the front

Duncan.... Gold again! I was waiting for this one. Excellent info. I have a small Canadian Tire angle grinder sitting in cabinet that'll be perfect for this. I can actually do this setup with just getting the wheels. I also had no idea the number of passes that are needed. I have a whet stone set for my one fancy-schmancy Japanese knife but really I don't nearly feel as comfortable with it as I do the commercial butcher knives. I feel I have more control with the extra weight and they feel more like a tool than something that's designed to impress guests. Thanks for a great video!

@duncanhenry 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, I am glad you liked it. Ya a knife sharpening set up doesn't take much. Yes I'm no knife pro by any means but I know you really don't want to be heating up certain knives and stones would probably be needed for that Japanese knife. Like you said save it for impressing guests lol

Thank you so much for this video. I do not cut meat but I sharpen for butchers. This is a great all around video. Of course each person will develop their preference for different blade geometry. I like your machine for knocking down the shoulders. Great job on the video. I appreciate the effort

@duncanhenry Жыл бұрын

Really well that would be a cool job. What tool do you use? Stone, grinder?

@swamp.stomper Жыл бұрын

@@duncanhenry I use belt grinder for heavy repairs but I do the sharpening on whetstones. These days I use a King 300 and a Shapton 1k for most work. Once I grind through about half of the stone I like to try something new and grow my stone collection 😄

Hey Duncan, you went straight to work to make the video (excellent as usual). Thanks for the information. I wish you a happy new year! (PS I just bought a lower speed grinder that I will modify slightly and dedicate it for sharpening knifes..)

You won't regret it. It makes your butchering a lot more simple.

@fabiancanada8876 2 жыл бұрын

@@duncanhenry Yes. We have a few kitchen knifes as well that need to be sharpened.. I am not too eager to sharpen them on my stones and so they end up dull quite often which is annoying... so I am really looking forward to having the grinder and just sharpen them a lot quicker and easier!

Worked as a cook for 3 years and learnt how to make them razor sharp , but I recently changed jobs and started working in a beef abattoir I've noticed having a small razor sharp edge dosent last long when your slicing through kilos of meat all day and I'm just curious if the edge has to be wider for longer use ?

@joesmith7427 11 ай бұрын

I want to know about sanitizers duncan?? Tell us about the mark up on meat?? How much does a butcher make per yr?? Or per hour??

@mikeanthony07 Ай бұрын

Well instead of steeling how about using a ceramic rod only?

@ottolenz2203 2 жыл бұрын

Nice video - thanks. I noticed the motor on your grinder had directional arrows - I thought that was interesting - most single phase motors can have the rotation changed simply by opening them up and swapping two wires (it's usually marked on the nameplate or just inside the access panel). But, maybe yours is permanently set - no matter - great video.

@buckbeans1 2 жыл бұрын

You don't even have to switch wires. Just separate the base from the grinder and rotate the grinder 180 degrees and bolt back together. there is a youtube video on this.

@duncanhenry 2 жыл бұрын

Didn't know that, thank you!

@buckbeans1 2 жыл бұрын

The directional arrows are to remind the user not to push the chisel edge into the wheel when the rotation is going down towards themselves. Too many injuries because they were not aware which way the tool is rotating.

@joesmith7427 11 ай бұрын

A good low investment business is a sharpening trailer, you can do meat markets, barber shops, sewing scissors, farm clippers, some men and women do this from a pull trailer, some full time,some part time, its not cheap either! Some bring a bunch in sharp while they pick up some dull, see u next week for delivery and pick up!

How do you avoid overheating your blade when sharpening on a bench grinder?

@duncanhenry 2 жыл бұрын

Take your time and don't use too much pressure.

@Mauitaoist Жыл бұрын

Never use a power tool it'll overheat your blade and ruin it and then they wear out that's why his knives are all thin and worn out just use a whetstone

i only sharpen my butchery knife with wet stone.. using grinder is dangerous

@joesmith7427 11 ай бұрын

Get at least 1 chain link glove before u cut. Some knives are 15*, they slide through the meat real easily! Its asian! But it still has to be NSF APPROVED!! OR OUT IT GOES! this includes slicers, mixers, grinders, containers, refrigeraters,freezers, almost everything! Scales have to be certifiable by the weights and measures dept of the state, not all scales are!

@mattnejmanowski631 Жыл бұрын

Putting a knife to a grinder buffer is VERY dangerous!!! one catch it will take the knife out of your hands before you can blink.. His tuning the grinder away does nothing for safety because it will ricochet off that wall. This is a bad practice that heats up knives, wears knives out early, and Is the most dangerous sharpening technique.

@joesmith7427 11 ай бұрын

If it isnt "NSF APPROVED" (NATIONAL SANITATION FOUNDATION) the health inspector will wont allow it in your business. If anything comes in contact with the food, it has to be NSF APPROVED!! 😊
