Im making a new video, im not happy with how the first video came out and im going to take it down, i failed in using the tool correctly and its absolutely not excusable, i apologize about the first video and will absolutely re due it the way it shoulda been done from the beginning, i appreciate your kindness in wanting to work with us and i want to make it right. Thank you guys for being so awesome

👊

Thanks Bob b

Great for tools and kitchen knives machete, fixed blades, even pocket knives with the attachment

And thats awesome, not everyone wants to or can spend the time to sharpen and this makes easy work out of getting a sharp knife, usually it only takes an hor to sharpen what your reprofiling or taking out a massive chip, when your using the right stones 20-30 min can get you a fine edge, also the thickness of the knife makes a difference if its thin it's very quick. But i think the work sharp is a great system especially with the attachment

I caught that too.

The manufactures opinion is like every other opinion except written by lawyers.

Yeah thank you i quickly learned that after, i appreciate you trying to help though, i have a long term video coming soon that will hopefully be better than the lasts

Definitely you could do all your fixed blades and kitchen knives in an hour, and im saying that without knowing how many you have because it makes for fast results, and im getting better and better with the machine and my results are fantastic, im definitely going to make an update video in a month or so

Nice! I just recently ordered a new strop from viking and its decent, but the leather i got from badger leathers was real nice and very affordable

@@NeevesKnives thanks my brother.

I pulled the regular KO guide attachment out and I was correct, it clicks kinda hard onto the 3rd screw below the 2 you pointed out. Just put your thumb on the top roller and pull up.

Facts

I would definitely use the grinder attachment, the same way i did would work great

Theres deals all the time on it but if you already have something but it is a great system for lots of tools knives blades exc..

@@NeevesKnives right now I only have a 1x30, 5x36-6, and many assorted sized bench-grinders/polishers, I used to have a larger selection. I been wanting to try a 2x42 at the small end maybe a 60. But then it gets expensive fast even if building your own.

I think this system comes into its own for people like myself that don’t have the space to have a belt grinder set up. I can use this in my kitchen quickly when I need to and store it away no problem.

@@vicreaves3077 definitely! Its a great system that is crazy useful, ive got more videos coming soon, from kitchen knife sharpening to blade regrinding exc..

Work sharp has a bunch of cool freehand stuff also that i didnt even know about and a little guided one coming in two weeks that looks promising

@@NeevesKnives yeah, the new guided system looks very promising. Especially for those that want a system like that but can’t afford an edge pro or something similar. I can see them coming out with more grits / stones & strop accessories for that one also

@@andrewlasure7828 the one work sharp has coming is 60$ and it looks pretty good

@@NeevesKnives Awesome channel on all things related to knife sharpening.I Love free hand sharpening and finishing and maintaining with the spyderco sharpmaker but there are definitely times when a nice clamp system or a sharpener like this can be a better option,subscribed 👍

Yes i believe i show that, and if you have problems with certain knives to just freehand on the belt, but the grinder does make it a lot easier esp to get even bevels exc..

This works great for larger blades, or for chip removal, blade grinding exc.. I use it often along side freehand Sharpening and fixed angle system Sharpening

👍

Definitely although you can always freehand on the regular system

This is an old video and ive done a couple videos talking about the mistakes i made

Agreed

Using your left hand to turn off the machine? How inelegant. Think outside of the box. Purchase a foot operated (pedal) power switch$20~$30, all sorts of styles, on Amazon.😊😊

Great review, learned a lot! Many thanks 🙏🙏🙏😊😊

@Eric Freutel It's not a sewing machine ya know. 🤣

Im going to do a long term video on this system but im a freehand sharpener so i dont use this system often unless im doing certain kinds of projects, but now that ive had it a while i definitely need to do a long term review

I actually do 17° on most of my knives, my folders are mostly all freehand sharpened. But between folders and kitchen, it does a n d doesn't, depending on what it's being used for, for instance a chopper I'd go with 20° but a good chef knife I'd go 17 or 15, but if I know IL be tough on it then between 17 and 20, if it's steak knives I'd keep it around 17 per side, but it just depends

@@NeevesKnives Awesome thanks for the explanation, that gives me a good reference, I’m somewhat a noob at sharpening , might be a good vid for you one day , Sharpening at what angle and why

Thanks Robert! Now that ive had this a little while im going to do an update on it and fix a few things that i said or did wrong, and i think it will be a better video

@@NeevesKnives . I have to thank worksharp for video they did which showed back wheel could be moved closer so less give in sharpening area between the two wheels,

@@NeevesKnives . I reprofiled another blade to 22.5 degrees with the firm belts and then used cloth stropping belts to hone and then polish. Biggest difference with back wheel moved to one position higher is you get edge similar to if you sharpened on stone, flat edge. I like how I can now see edge very well and it is very shiny. Edge cleanly saved hair off my forearm. I now have bald area there.

@@robertdewalt8711 Is the allen bolt in the centre of the roller,im just not seeing it👍

@@GG-ml3vr . Yes it the Center of roller. Look closely at screw head which is black in colour, requires Allen key to remove screw. Then you can screw it back into hole closer so that both rollers much closer.

Tormek dont produce razor sharp edges ?!

If got a t8 and super easy to get razor sharp with just the standard wheel set to 1000 grit. If you are freehanding the honing wheel you'll be rounding the edge probably. Also, tormek gives more of a concave than convex edge, so good for some applications, not for others.

Yeah i thought i mentioned that about tape if its a knife your worried about you can always tape it, i should of made that clearer, but the attachment imo is fantastic and makes easy work, and its great for a lot of different jobs including Sharpening knives

No that was my bad I actually was watching it at work on my lunch and didn’t get to finish the whole video yet . My apologies 👍🏻

Thank yiu, I mostly use the belt grinder attachment but I did get better at the tips after realizing I was doing it wrong I appreciate you watching and adding some advice

@@NeevesKnives i just ordered the attachment. Seems much better. Never knew they had it till I saw your video, so thank you!

If you can keep the belt very tight you can get closer to a v grind but it will most likely always be slightly convexed

@@NeevesKnives ty for the reply. Is there a back plate on that 90 degree part?

@@BlindDude theres an open area that i use on the back side that runs up and down

@@NeevesKnives Im sorry, I guess I couldnt explain what I meant very well at all.. I watched more of your video and I see the attachment sitting there without the belt and I can see now that it DOES have a backing for the belt to hit on the 90 degree part. 42:00 Thanks Edit.. I also see a little platform at the 90 degree part.. Can you tell me this? Will a magnet stick to it or would I be able to slide my angle magnets along it? Ah crap, I'm ordering it.. I have gotten really really good at the Work Sharp Ken Onion without the attachment.. Cant wait. One more thing.. If you ever use the onion without the attachment, dont drop your blades into it while its running. You prolly already got some gouge from it. Instead, place the blade into the jig, then start it up and pull through.. Also stopping the belt before the tip reaches the half way part is best. Te be even more careful, try to make sure you keep the angle of the blade "Horrizontally" with the belt. You know how the tip sweeps? Followe the sweep as close as you can

Where did you getvthe belt from

@@NeevesKnives . Worksharp.

@@NeevesKnives Number on box. SA0003570. BGA Attachment P80, extra coarse, red, Norton ceramic. 1x18”. 3 pack knife/tool repair.

@@robertdewalt8711 thank you

@@NeevesKnives . You are welcome. I finally have my SRK re-profiled to 22.5 degrees. I finished the blade with the cloth stropping belt kit. I used green chromium oxide on one belt to finish honing and the red ferric oxide on other belt to finish polishing the blade. Angle now much better than original one. Now I will resume working on Brazil Machete. I currently have most of that blade to 22.5 degrees but I have about 4 cm near middle of bottom third about 20 cm from handle still not at 22.5 degrees. The blade is about 35 years old and the original grind was never a functional grind. I was so glad when I got the P80 belts as it has helped to speed up the process. Today I also sharpened all the kitchen flat blade knifes to 20 degrees as it was 3 months since I last did it. I am thinking of doing a weekly stropping on the kitchen knives to keep them sharp.

Thanks Bard appreciate the info

Each side is 20° I have another video coming very soon on this device now that ive had umit so long

I can tell you unless you are sharpening small knives go for bigger stones. I got a 2x5 diamond stone and it's a pain to use on anything but folders.

Absolutely, first thing check out my sharpening tips and videos in my play list, also worksharp has some really cool diamond stones with guides that could seriously help even that little one i just reviewed is awesome

Nothing at all wrong with Lansky. No great reason to "get out of it."

Yes you absolutely can, they also have even coarser belts you can get to make work even easier

I have with good results

Yeah I do kinda wish I could do that for a flat v grind, there's some tricks to making it happen

@@NeevesKnives … they do have the stiff belts which do deliver a flatter more V edge but it is still somewhat convex. For quality EDC folders I only use this to profile or work out chips, then go to the Precision Sharpener. Otherwise it takes all day. I wish I had your free-hand ability. I do sharpen kitchen knives on this. Fillet plus other working knives I sharpen freehand on dia-sharp plates. Be it a boat, fishing or hunting equipment, there is no perfect tool that will do everything.

@@NeevesKnives also,.. if you use the stiff belts an grind very close to the idler you receive the flattest V grind.

If you want to go very professional then the TS PROF Blitz is a great and superior option, this system imo is great for fixed blades, axes machetes, exc.. and the edges are good, they don't burn the edges, but for very professional edges, watch my TS PROF Blitz video. Andis you really want to learn Sharpening sign up for Mt membership program I'm teaching professional Sharpening from freehand to fixed angled exc..

yes yes yes i dont know anyone who doesnt prefer it over without

Rassenti snafu 2.0

@@NeevesKnives Thanks!!

I agree, also i didnt have an issue with recurving the knife but i definitely learned the hard way with the tip, however the attachment makes it very easy and its a great system for many tools and blades, my biggest issue with the basic guided system was getting to the choil, which was only possible when not using the guides, I appreciate you watching and giving some feedback

@@NeevesKnives your very welcome. I like the content so I subbed. We are a small tight knit community.....if we can't help each other what's the point. For the record, I was able to make the critique because I learned the hard way....in typical guy fashion....instructions...who reads instructions....lol Then I learned. There are so many that bash this system....if they can only take off the blinders...they can see a very useful tool. There are pros and cons to every system....some are great at a certain thing, and not so much in other areas. I once told the owner of a very popular system that I look at it this way....they are tools...it's better to have a tool and not always use it, then to need said specific tool for a job and not have it.

@@fldiverjc4496 what you said is so important and is what makes this community great, and also sometimes can be the down fall, and that is what i said to many people is that with every systems you can have issues or do damage, theres always a learning curve, hey bud if your able to we are going live in 30 min 730 our time if you can or want to, come through right here on the channel live we talk to everyone and its usually a good time

@@NeevesKnives what time zone

@@fldiverjc4496 central in 6 min

🙏

no but you can take off the guides

Thanks Bud I think they can be very useful, knowing how to freehand is very beneficial as well, im hoping to do some regrinds soon with it

@@NeevesKnives Will watchout for your vids mate, I am a sucker for all the outdoor survival knife and ferro rod stuff. The joke is I live only 40 miles from London, the only park near me wont let me loose with fire and knives lol, what a great country you live in, there is still space to roam, hope you enjoy your life there

It's very possible, and using a dryer sheet will help

It's pathological. I'm sure it happens (or will happen) to most of us in any of our life endeavors...

He clearly can’t read

Lmfao

😉

I honestly dont know possibly both

try doing edge trailing passes to remove the burr with no pressure at all, you should check out my freehand videos they have a lot of great info, i also have a membership were going live on sunday if you want to join

@@NeevesKnives appreciate it. Thank you

If your trying to take it seriously then a tsprof kadet pro, if your on a budget then the KME

@Neeves Knives awesome 👌. I imagine it wouldnt hurt too also have the precision swing as well! As I don't have any free hand experience. Thanks for your response 👍

The first part of your edge

I know i figured that out after having it a while ive done a couple videos since

Its worth it you will be happy when you get it

@@NeevesKnives spyderco sharpmaker with diamond to ultrafine...why should one get the guided ?

The attachment does help but also you can use the best from the reg system the same way and it can work great im going to end up doing another video on the system after a little bit

I wouldn't doit unless it's a very large fixed blade, you want to use diamond on those steels

Lol

Yeah that seems to happen

This is am older video I was still learning, I actually have the new version v2 and I'm making a video now on it

1" ×18" 👍

I personally think freehand, if your going to doit the way it should be then its two different kinds, its a convex on the tip and a v grind on the hollowed portion, but if your just trying to get it sharp and looking for a system the probably a kme but i reccomend sending it to a professional that knows how to sharpen knives like that, if your not worried about the front end being convexed and are ok with it being a vgrind then the kme will work fine

@@NeevesKnives thank you for the info very helpful

That is the honey badger it comes in a small medium and large version and different blade shapes
