The crickets sound in the background is just amazing especially that your videos come out at night for me

Tyler: “I’m not good at math” then proceeds to do some math to find out the dollar to sharpness ratio 😂

when you said "you'd be better off sharpening it with a rock" I was intrigued to see how well you could sharpen a knife using a rock, so I think it would be cool if you did a vid about that

"You'd be better off sharpening on a rock or something" Sharpening STONE: "Am I a joke to you"?

I want to live in a world where a $12 kitchen knife is considered "somewhere in the middle" for the cost of a good knife.

Tyler: "This will be triggering... to some people" Also Tyler: *obviously one of those people*

Tylers is every infomercials worse nightmare.. Also.. don't you still spend hours sharping knives... lol

Tyler’s beard gives the peasant guy on his shirt an Afro.

Tyler: "These are shaving sharp" Me: 'proceeds to enter bathroom and shave with a knoife'

I used to be a fan but after watching these great masterpieces, I am a whole air conditioner now.

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzfaq.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

I've been with this guy from (pretty much) the start, and I'm so proud seeing how he's grown since then. Massively better video quality, and so much more personality coming through in his videos now!

Tyler, it's a common thing for a knife to feel duller after sharpening than after repair, it's because the sharpening one polishes whilst the repair grinds it to the proper apex, because the repair makes it very jagged but in the right angle, it grabs your skin and feels sharp. a razor has a smooth non jagged feel because it helps with your skin and razor burn.

With this test, I feel the best thing to do would be to grab a cheap usb microscope. It would really help see just how dull these knifes are and what exactly the sharpeners did to the edge. Also I would love to see you chuck a $10-15 whetstone in there for comparison. They take some time to learn but combine a $10 whetstone with a leather strop and it'll blow away all of those sharpeners right until you get to the super high precision ones which aren't cheap. Also the reason the lower grit "stones" feel "sharper" is because of the massive teeth they leave. They're really good at digging into your skin. Not because they're necessarily sharp. The tomato test is a good gauge for how "usefully" sharp a knife is. If you really polish up a knife, you'll find it somehow struggles to cut a tomato with thick skin compared to say a 1000 grit stone. (It'll still cut through it just fine, calm down. It'll just take more force than you would expect for a knife that sharp). A microscope would reveal all.

Great tests! You also have to keep in mind there is probably an upper limit of sharpness each one can achieve. Although the gorilla grip may have sharped the most based on starting and ending numbers, the other sharpeners may have achieved similar results if they had a duller starting blade.

the joy in his voice when he says "we're going to completely torture these knives" is like a kid in a candy store

You would need a controlled test with the exact damage on each knife. The smith is 1st place all around and I also have the smith. It's a great, cheap sharpener.

I bought a similar one like the yellow one from wish, for 1 dollar 2 years ago, still using it for my bushcrafting knives, works great actually.

to dull knives, you should cut a thick jute rope. the jute is abrasive and simulates wear without chipping or flattening the blade like the cinder block does. it's also easier to control the experiment by measuring how much you dull the knife in "cuts". A common problem with these types of pull-through sharpeners is that they leave a saw-like, wavy edge rather than a smooth polished one. It means the edge gets dull and wears away very quickly, but feels sharp and grabby when you test it. Testing for edge retention is certainly important as well. I'd also recommend testing out the Fallkniven DC4 and leather belt strop. I'm confident it'll out-perform every pull-through sharpener out there.

One thing I learned from hours upon hours and blade upon blade this steel and that....you may have over sharpened. using 100 passes may be too many. You possibly could have better results with fewer passes using these type of sharpeners. There is a point where your as sharp as your gonna get, you knife guys know what I mean lol. I personally like to use the 6” tri stone with an Arkansas stone finish. Once the blade is back up to par then depending on use that week I’d touch it up on a leather strop with some fine polishing compound. The main thing is to keep your knife sharp rather let it go completely dull then removing a lot of material to get back to cutting sharp. At some point you’ll get into softer material and the edge won’t hold for nothing. Edit: I’d like to see more of the sharpener test videos 👍🏻 good stuff

This is just Tyler reliving his childhood of sharpening knives to get the sharpest knife for 25 minutes.

i would genuinly have a good time hanging out with tyler for one day

Tyler: "I used to sharpen my gas station knives until there was a pile of metal shavings." Also Tyler: *Sharpens knife #2 until there is a pile of metal shavings*

I swear by those little smiths sharpeners. I keep a couple in my fish cleaning bag at all times; those knives take a ton of abuse but those sharpeners are always decent little helpers. Especially hard to hate 'em at the price.

I look forward to every upload

I remember using the second sharpener when I worked at Sonic! I sliced my thumb pretty bad. Ahhh good times😂

Instructions on my Chef's Choice sharpener call for tilting the blades alternately to the two sides of each V shape. You need to work separately on each side of the blade.

The neighbours: OH NO, quick lock the doors he has knives again!!!

I for one really enjoy the comparison videos. I'd love to see more. I couldn't care less what you compare, just compare...Though the evil side of me wants to see you compare pickles: relish vs gherkins vs dill vs bread & butter vs sour vs any I forgot 😁

I have found that the yellow two step sharpener keeps my knives functionaly sharp as long as I haven't been abusing it. I have also found that it doesn't work with some of my folding knives because the handle to blade ratio.

what i love most about these videos is the fact I'm British so my amazon/wish etc is very different to American amazon/wish. and it's so cool to see the weapons and things you can buy at ease that is illegal in my country

I remember TylerTube by doing Flex Tape/Seal/Glue videos and man, this man has grown his channel a lot. Great job man, im proud of you bro 🥲🥲

I love his videos. I know he makes them in his garage but the effort he puts in so the quality of the video can be good is awesome. Like he could of easily just put some tape on the handles and numbered the knives but he took the time to engrave them and I think it's visually appealing.

Thank you, this was very helpful & I really appreciated finding the Amazon links to the ones you tested!🎉

Thank you Tyler I really thought today was gonna be my last but you made me happy for 25 minutes and that's a pretty good day for me. I hope your channel grows and you can have the life you always wanted and deserved. Sending brotherly love we all need more of it

I keep a Smith’s on top of my Arkansas stone box on the counter for quick “top off” sharpening when I’m cooking. A couple of swipes on each end and the knife is good to go. Hard to beat for under $5.

Tyler, I just wanted to thank you for teaching me how to use the knife sharpener that has the "fine, medium and course" settings. I did not know you had to drag the knife at an angle. I thought you dragged it even across it like you tried then you discovered it works when you drag the knife at the edge of the sharpener. Hope that makes sense, but now I have VERY sharp knives.

The cheapest and also best I've done is the bottom of a ceramic cup or the edge of the car window great video thanks

Bruh that one cricket goin WILD out there. Props to my boi cricket 😂

I have several knife sharpeners and i was blown away how effective the smith was. I only use it because its so simple and quick. Highly recommended.

I don't know about everyone else, but I really appreciate your "Everyman" testing videos. the way you break everything down is very easy to understand for everyone.

I wanna see you test the shapton glass stones, you'll f-ing love them, never regretted buying them myself.

I've waited long for this episode!! Thanks tylertube!!

can you make a really high power potato cannon for no reason on cam

Hey, Tyler, please buy cheap USB microscope, we would love to see the edge!

we use sharpener num 2 at work. they really do work good. never has anyone gotten hurt. good job buddy.

11:42 i love how your shirt dude got its hair back

Should have done a control knife with your sharpening stones. You should do a comparison with an axe and your katana next, that would be sick

Hearing the crickets relaxes me 😪

11:47 the peasant has an afro

LMAO when you put our head down it makes it look like the bald guy on your shirt has a crazy head of hair hahaha

I love these testing videos with your personality haha.

the thing I noticed with the cheap knife sharpeners is that while that do make knives sharper, I feel like the edge doesn't last long and will become dull again quickly

Best sharpener test I've seen!! Great Job!!! I've got a smith and a case that's made similar that I use for ease of use and great sharpening. I"ve got a sharpener similar to the Gorilla sharpener that works Great but only use it when I have more time and more knives to sharpen. I always wondered if the numbers would support what I was seeing and it appears they do. Again thanks for such a great test and video..

8:30 when your beard makes the dummy on your shirt look like it has hair

I use the little yellow smiths, and the smith's sharpening bar, and my knives always come out razor sharp. As long as you know what your doing it works.

I always laugh when Tyler gives safety lessons, Not my 1st time here Tyler I know what you're like lol.

Been so long since I watched one of your videos glad to be back

I got to be real, the crickets in the back is great. Not only is it funny but it’s also night time as I watch this and it’s kinda making me sleepy

The guy who made that first knife who went above and beyond in the quality department of that knife company is patting himself on the back right now

It's pretty interesting that you cut with the first knife twice and the rest of them once and you could tell the difference on the sharpness test on the first go around

I have kept ones similar to the smith's in my tackle boxes for as long as I can remember

Thank you! This was so Informative!

I love the vivid details , this man is good at what he does 😁

These videos are actually entertaining

This guy is exactly who I picture when I hear of someone who collects gas station knives.

I LOVE THE KNIFE VIDS TYLER PLEASE DO MORE

Tyler the crickets weren't too impressed judging by thier voiced opinions. lmao Love the video man

I’d love for you to get a hold of some knives from sushi chefs. They would blow your mind

You should put links to the products just in case we want to purchase them..

Blind test different water brands.... please

Every time I see a goat guns ad the models get bigger, a year from now they will just be a gun company making full size guns

Sweet video. That was some cool number crunching

i'd like to see you test knifes. just a set of kitchen knifes to see which one keeps their edges best. Considering some really cheap ones lose their edge after a couple of months, whilst expensive ones may keep it for a year or more.

great video, I know which sharpener to put in my tool case now. But I do have a question. Did you happen to crunch the numbers at all lol.

Need to try this with the bavarian edge

Professional knife reviewers usually slice through rough jute type rope until it's dull... And they're using supersteels like S35VN and other stuff that's crazy good at staying sharp.

Hey everytime u sharpen the knifes ur beard gives the Mannequin head hair 😆

The ad I got before this was a bearded man with a cap in a garage testing knives lmao

When Tyler leans his head down enough it looks like the dude on his shirt has a ginger Afro lmao

You have a great platform very very good you are thank you for doing these tests now I know which sharpener I need to buy I appreciate this thank you very much 👍

5:40 Hmmm, your having a sword fight with a cinder block. Keep this in mind. I'm dying laughing hoping this is the same cinder block from the last video I watch where you were testing out a knife stand that had a sharpener that you slide 10x. "If you use this product your knife will never go dull." Lol

When zoomed in your peasant shirt has hair from your beard.

That beard makes the peasant on your shirt look like Bob Ross

The crickets are defiantly appropriate for this video's pace, dialog, and delivery.

I'd like to hear you test the three-piece one on a regularly dull knife instead of one as damaged as you used.

Since Tyler put the knife through the gorilla grip again after getting the right angle down he actually did 200 passes on each type of sharpener so I think the crappy gorilla grip shouldn’t have won.

hey tyler i was wondering if you can put the links to the knives and the knife sharpeners. thank you so much

When you had the shot.of you opening the package of the first knife sharpener you had your beard hitting the top of the face of the Gary lookalike on your shirt it looked like your shirt was coming to life.

To even dull a sharp knife quickly, cut bamboo across the grain. My bamboo cutting board wrecks mild steel knives in a few strokes. Textured glass will dull an edge by rolling the edge.

Tyler should test some as seen on tv heaters

Am I in a cricket farm or a TylerTube video lol, the crickets actually make the video relaxing to watch

Use the best sharpener on all the other knives and see if you can get them equally as sharp. :) BTW, those types of sharpeners take off a lot of metal, as you witnessed, and in many cases, when you have fairly sharp knives already, removing metal is less advantageous than correcting the edge alignment and then removing burs. Those type of sharpeners are good for establishing the proper v shape for the knife blade, then once that is established, a fine grit stone or paper will provide the best tuning of the blade's edge, followed by stropping to remove the tiny burs. That's my 2 cents worth. ;)

Also I think you should of done a test where you used each sharpener as many passes until they couldn't get sharper. Because if I have to give another 150 passes for an awesome result, I'm ok with that.

Loving the sounds of the crickets in the background lol

Thanks for the hard work I have the yellow Smith I love it affordable it's affordable super light and it works

For the money and the end results i always have a Smith sharpener handy , its quick and does what its made to do . I do use my diamond stones when i do take my time to sharpen but sometimes you just need quick and easy

What sort of compact carry in your bag sharpener would you recommend for carbon steel bushcraft knife?

to dull a knife quickly use cardboard, 20-30 cuts should dull them down dramatically
