You, sir, need to be a teacher. You explained this in a way I desperately needed. Thank you.

Very informative!! Looking forward to more in this series. Thanks for helping us take care of our blades.

Very cool, Thanks for doing this series, I enjoy learning how other knife guys sharpen/maintain their knives. 👍🏻🙏🏼😎

Knife sharpening in the bunker! Love it!

Looking forward to the video about the different grinds. I prefer this presenter and presentation style over other knife channels.

Now that's a great help vid! Thank you.

Thank you! Thank you! Now I understand what I'm doing wrong. Can't wait for more sharpening videos.

Just subscribed. There are many videos out there explaining how to sharpen a knife, but the clarity of your explanation, your kind demeanor and your mastery of the subject made me stay here. I am not being very successful at getting that paper cut I want, but will stay at it until I get it

Awesome video .this really helped ,looking forward to the stropping video

I use a Lansky diamond benchstone (medium\fine combo) and finish on a homemade leather strop. The guy is right, it just takes a bit of practice. Greetings from South Africa. Stay healthy

Nice video David. Keep them coming and stay in the fight brother. We're gonna win this...

Thanks. I need to learn so much about sharpening.

David, you make my day. When I see a new video pop up, I am there. Great work on all of them. You are a great asset to Knife Center and the knife community. (My wife may disagree when I keep getting those orange boxes delivered.)

Excellent! For what it's worth, I've put on a pretty fine edge using oiled paper as the "abrasive" layed on a stone.

Great video thanks!

Great video... idea for later video... you could hit on benefits of different angled bevels ... also the benefits of finishing on a higher grit stones and finishing on lower grit stones... toothie edges are great for some applications vs a high polished edge...

Thank you, nice filing with your videos, stay safe

Excellent explanation

Great video on sharpening! Currently I have been using ceramic rods with the angle pre set. It's cheating but gets the job done.

Great job!

Whetstones, meet the whetstones, they're the modern stone age sharpener...

Really informative video.

Suggest a loupe, or strong magnifying glass as a learning aid. Helped me a lot to see what results I was getting. And- you can clean that Spydie ceramic with some Ajax or other cleanser.

As a beginner I would have liked to hear a little more about the grit of the stones as most seem to be sold based on the grit rather than a "course, medium, fine" grade. But thank you the information!

I've been using the victorinox dual knife sharpner form victorinox for my victorinox Swiss army knifes and it does a outstanding job and don't take a lot of metal off the blade i like to use the blue stone mostly because it doesn't take much metal from my 80 year old Swiss army knife

Great video! Stay safe buddy!

Thank you so much for making this video & sharing your expertise. I've been holding back on building my knife collection because I can't maintain them properly. Prevention is better than a cure. My knives get a lot of use at my bug out camp. So I have lots of different knives for different tasks from my Morakniv Bushcraft, CRKT SPEW Artisan Cutlery Sea Snake & Kershaw Hotwire. I carve a lot of walking staffs, build shelters and process fire wood. Scandi grind is easy to maintain & sharpen. Micro bevels take more skill. Your explanation of the anatomy of the edge helps a lot.

Great vid. Made me realize that ive come too dependent on my belt sander. Time to get back to basics.

I use arkansas oilstone too! Goid stone, help to sharp my cutting universal tool.

excellent video, but do you use different stones for different knife steels like magna cut or s35, s90. i found that using standard stones for these high end steels arent quite sharpening them to where i want them. thankyou

2:28 I have that exact same Swiss Army Knife! Same colour and everything!

Please do a video on how to sharpen the victorinox Swiss army knife saw please

Always appreciated! @ 7:00 wouldn’t it make sense to turn the stone around so the natural feel is to scrape out words again? Great tip with the sharpie!

Fantastic tips, David! It's always the angle of the blade that gets me!! I wish all knife companies would include the blade angle in their paperwork, don't you? Or do you find it easy enough to find the angle yourself? Thanks again, so much!! Keep safe and virus free everyone!!!! 🤗❤️👍✌️🤘🇬🇧🇺🇸👋

What's the best way to get the right angel or near it?.

What would a good double grit wheatstone to have

Sent this to my boss because he always says stay sharp out there

Cool,david

You can see the burr if your under a good light. It will reflect different than the edge.

Another great useful video, I have some Japanese water wetstones, just use water?

Great video Sir, thank you! A quick tip: Use an eraser to remove the metal from the ceramic side of your Spyderco Double Stuff or any other ceramic stone, this will keep it always in top performance, easy and extremely effective. Greetings from Brazil!

brother... I suck at sharpening. This is the medicine I need.

Hi David How would a burr develop if you are moving the knife from the tip of the edge to the bottom? I understand that a burr builds if you are stroking by the opposite direction; bottom to top. Please explain and forgive my ignorance. Regards

I have a two sided Japanese water stone, that is better than any Arkansa stone I’ve seen used. However it doesn’t matter how you keep your knives sharp

Hey there I was working on kitchen knives and only have 800 cant get to small Knicks off near tip with much work, do I need more course? Or use a diamond plate till I get it out?

How to sharpen serrated blade?

What is the best type of stone for s30v blades

What is that cool triangular sharpener that you are using there?

If you want to know more about whetstone sharpening search for Burrfection channel here on KZfaq.

Great audio (especially considering the hard walls of a typical basement), good videography, good voice/speech delivery, good scripting. QUESTION: I recently watched a knife sharpening video by guys who constantly use knives as professional butchers - "The Bearded Butchers", and at no time was finding/dealing with a "burr" ever mentioned. And, one of the butchers flipped his blade edge over every stroke, rather than doing several strokes on one side, then several strokes on the other. These guys' living depends on their knives - so why is a burr important to some but not others? BTW - they don't strop.

So with a diamond sharpener do u press hard or really light

Hello from Greece 😀🇬🇷😀🇬🇷😀🇬🇷

Hy, watched the video, but when I clicked the links to see the sharpeners, got an error message and I could not even see the site...☹

What's the best stone for a beginner?.

So, every pocket knife sharpening video I’ve seen pushed the knife into the stone, whereas all chef knife and woodworking sharpening drags the edge. Why the difference? Seems to me that dragging the edge is better for getting a burr. What am I missing? Type of steel?

Hey Dav, can you add a vid showing the best type stone and best method used to sharpen some of the newer/harder “Super Steel”/CPM Type blades? I won’t lie, my S30v and S35VN blades whoop my butt! Lol. 🙏🏼👌🏻👍🏻😎

3-4 OZ. WATER, ONE DROP OF DAWN, GOOD HONING OIL HACK

How does one sharpen a karambit?

wait, I was always sharpening my kitchen knifes the opposite way, is that a no no?

Please do a leather strop video

I can’t stop trying to figure out what that brownish yellow stuff is coming out of the wall.

I imagine you'll be mentioning recurved in a later video?

Sir, Will you ship to India ?

nice nice

I bet the office is always short on copy paper

Instead of oil you could just use water.

I’ve ruined knives by hand sharpening. Would love a video on a system where the knife is clamped in and the stones are on rails.

Couldn't get away from filming in a basement.

Yes so you can stick'em,stick'em! Slice and dice'em. ⚔🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓👹🐕.

I like my blade edge like my women Ultra fine

Clean your wall

Yall dont know sharp till youve seen a woodworker an his chisels lol 16 thousand grit is mirror edge pmv-11

If I could get my old knives razor sharp, I wouldn't buy new ones!

Pushing the blade into/onto the stone isn’t going to give you a proper burr... I was taught to pull the blade across the stone.. I dunno.. seems like it’s backwards.. I dunno.. doubt my grandpa taught me wrong tho, he was special forces in Vietnam
