I spent a fortune on fixed angle systems and 1x6 stones... but I learned to strop by hand, so now 99% of the time I sharpen freehand. For me it's far superior.

I started on stones but keep things fixed is better for higher performance edges..but I really think it's just marketing a sharp knife is sharp no matter how you got it sharp

I'm a big fan of Pop's too. They're just good to do business with.

I use a Work Sharp field sharpener a lot and it's great as a gift to people who aren't accustomed to sharpening. As long as they don't use the terrrible wheel things so many have in their drawer.

Great video Mr. Sorrells, love watching your content. Sharpening is one of those things that it seems folks assume they know how to do. I kind of had an idea but you filled in some missing pieces of the puzzle for me. Thank you and keep up the good work!

I keep a worn out belt handy which I flip around inside out. I charge it with polishing grit and use it to strop. It works, probably not as good as leather but it does what I need it to do.

@Kraakesolv Жыл бұрын

Same here! It's a leather belt though, so it's great. Use the buckle to hang it from the ceiling and strop away

@Jason-jd1jv Жыл бұрын

@@Kraakesolv The belt I use I think was a 120 grit belt originally. Not sure anymore. It holds polishing compound pretty well and does a fair job at getting a keen edge

learning how to use a strop really turned things around for me.

After bying a diamond stone- I was hooked and have invested in a set of three- just make sure thgat they are "Electroplated Monocrystaline Diamonds" otherwise you get cheap Chinesium diamond powede glued onto a piece of mild steel and they are crap!

I'm doing the final stropping/edgewire removal on a cotton wheel mount a cheapo bench grinder, it works wonder.

Love my Ameribrade 2x72 grinder and knife sharpening addition. What layout fluid with dobber did you recommend?

@Rprecision Жыл бұрын

I have moved completely to convex micro and full convex knives. I think it's fair to say unless your using a jig, all hand sharpened knives end up with a portion of convex in the edge anyways. I would argue the number of people who can sharpen to 15 or 17 degrees by hand is incredibly small.

@billclancy4913 Жыл бұрын

Which is why I use a jig sharpening system. I sharpened a chefs knife @ 14 degrees, that was simply phenomenally sharp.

@Terabell Жыл бұрын

Does someone have a link to the sharpening device he was using on the 2x72?

@Sarge2112 Жыл бұрын

Man I couldn't learn to sharpen freehand on a stone ina 1000 years if I'm holding a knife in my hand and even look at a stone my knife gets duller go figure
