After a bunch of research - I narrowed my search down to between the Hapstone, and the TSPROF. I went with the TSPROF "Master Kit," and I'm some glad I did! The KO-3 is an incredibly well designed & manufactured system. A pleasure to sit down and work with. I'm still learning, and your tutorials have been very helpful to me, thanks very much - you are doing a great job. Take care...

Been sharpening knives professionally for a few years now, using a TORMEK T8 with good variety of CBN wheels, that does a great job.

Yeah even with a diamond coated sharpening pen you can create a working edge like that very quick; it just eats away fast on your steel if it's not so hard. Love me a CC4 pocket sharpening stone though! Could shave with that 2 micron edge.

@jamesreese7111 3 ай бұрын

I have the Ts Prof Kadet, you are correct about the Ts Prof stones not lasting very long. I bought a combination of Veneve bonded diamond and Edge pro diamond matrix stones. Wanted all Veneve's but 600 and 2000 weren't available so I got the 650 and 2300 diamond matrix stones to fill in the gaps, also added a set of 1/2" Gritomatic boride stones for recurves. As expensive as the sharpening systems are the real expense is in the stones. Eventually I'd like to get the remaining Veneve stones and a full set of the diamond matrix stones as the two different brands give different results. You can spend $1,000 on diamond stones pretty easy. I highly recommend getting a Veneve 80 grit stone as it is great for reprofiling quickly.

@MidNightsHunter 4 ай бұрын

Firstly I really like your videos, your energy & no doubt you are one of the street's smartest knife analyzers on KZfaq. What about freehand? I can sharpen my wood gauges with a figure eight, but I have never developed the skills for wicked blade sharpening. M.S. Smith sharpens starting from the tip, which is an improvement. Of course, hand sharpening for most of us will never be as precise, but it can be close. What do you think?

Awesome video Jerad. Question: how do you safely flip the burr on a fixed system? Do you still strop afterward?

Got a 2k / 5K grit water stone, and a 5 / 2 micron CC4 pocket stone. I think 2 micron is like 10K grit. It's all I need I guess. Honing / polishing is my passion! 🥰 If I was having more so called premium steel than regular good steel, meaning very hard steel, I would also use a diamond plate on those suckers by the way! My hardest steel might me D2 lol. Oh, and I got a sharpening pen from Boker. It's diamond coated and it's good to give dull knives a quick working edge, very quick I think. I can polish out "imperfections" afterwards when I got more time, but it's so bitey I only used it on dull and cheap kitchen knives so far; since my edc and other pocket knife blades are honed smooth already.

@NeevesKnives Hey Jared, I want to eventually buy a sharpening system and i'm currently leaning towards the WorkSharp Professional Precision Adjust but the thing holding me back is that idk if it can sharpen recurve blades and especially convexed blades. It probably can't do it out of the box and thats fine but is there any 3rd party parts that will enable it to do it? I like that Tsprof has the convex clamp but the price is hefty so i don't wana go that route if i don't have to. Especially since the Worksharp pro seems perfect for me besides those two functions i want. Thanks in advance for your help!

@NeevesKnives 4 ай бұрын

If you get the stone holder that I mentioned you can get slim stones for recurve but no it won't do convexed edges however you can always just put a grind on the edge but it won't do convexed however tsprof has a convexed attachment

@GeorgeMui 4 ай бұрын

@@NeevesKnives i see, but by putting an edge on it, how does that affect the convexed blade now that it is no longer a zero grind? I like convexed edges because i heard the geometry makes a knife super tough while still retaining sliceyness even though theres alot of steel behind the edge still. Also the Tsprof attachment can achieve this because it comes with a curved rod?

@NeevesKnives 3 ай бұрын

@@GeorgeMui tsprof has a part you put on in order for the rod to curve while moving. a convexed grind with a vgrind edge is just fine, yes convex edges are touhger, v are sharper but blade geometry is a huge part your knife is mostly already ground thick so you should be fine depending on what angle you sharpened at is this a fixed blade or folder

@theAwakenedOne007 24 күн бұрын

Hi, I was a chef for most of my life and was. Pretty proud of my freehand stone sharpening skills. But I'm still interested in one of these systems. In your honest opinion, do you think the precision of sharpening of any of these systems makes a difference from freehand for kitchen, fixed, and pocket knives? I still currently sharpen about 12 kitchen knives, a handful of pocket knives and my brother in law's knives. I'm currently using soaking stones because that's all I knew up until very recently when I found Outdoors55 who also featured this channel. Blew my mind on what I thought I knew and I dove head first into the diamond/cbn sharping rabbit hole. Back when I was a chef, the diamond plates were still not great tech, but it seems now with resin bonded plates, there can be way better options.

One side of the knife is always a degree different because the clamp sucks and you have to try to twist the blade and then tighten and hope it doesn't move back up or down since the rubber is so soft. No matter how tight I tighten the blade always has flex. Unless you have a wide blade, but most people are sharpening pocket knives on a kme. Also, the stones are tiny. And the price isn't great. Iv spent 450 dollars on mine so far with the extra stones and an angle cube and strops. As far as the wicked edge, if you would have watched the entire video, he clearly says at the end it isn't on the list bc you have to buy their stones only, there's no aftermarket support, and you can't see what's happening to the bevel as well as the other systems.

It’s outdated and been surpassed by the pioneer from TsProf. Wicked edge only uses their stones so not as versatile and also can be way more expensive.

HI,have you looked into KMFS Vantaedge integral sharpening system? It is supposed to compensate the sharpening angle to account for the length of the blade(you dont get different height of the sharpened edge between the tip and the middle of the blade) Would be interesting what you think about it.

if only the worksharp pro pa had a universal stoen holder would've been a steal, the aftermarket stone holder while it fixes that problem still has an issue an its that for 6 inch stones it gets limited by that the stone doesnt has a full motion on the knife barelly has 60% of movement

@afoolishman12 4 ай бұрын

@@NeevesKnives In what way is a stone sharpened edge better? Just curious what I should be looking for. I use the Ken onion and the Precision Pro and I don’t see a difference in edge performance. Probably user error but it would be helpful to know what to look for as well. Debating if it’s worth keeping the Precision Pro :/, given the price difference in the systems I thought the difference would be immediately apparent. I recently watched Work Sharp’s KZfaq video and even in their sharpness tests (including edge-on-up tests) it seems to be a toss up. Which again given the price difference is disappointing. Does the KO3 give a much better edge than the Precision Pro or does it just provide a better user experience?

@hawktv4508 4 ай бұрын

I just got a k03 and I had both precision adjusts. Pro is better than the original and the K03 does just make that much better of an edge. It’s a lot better in my opinion. I have a Ken onion with no attachments and I rounded the tip on several knives and have never used it sense so I can’t add on that. You can get. Sharp edge with any of them but the overall outcome is better with the K03. If you are pleased with your edges then don’t spend the extra money.

@afoolishman12 4 ай бұрын

@@hawktv4508 Thanks for the info. I think a lot of people that round the tips with the Ken onion pull the knife all the way through. Not sure if the instructions changed over time but mine says never to pull the tip more than halfway across the belt. I still see people do it all the time in KZfaq videos which makes me wonder if the instructions changed at some point. Just saw it again on Cedric and Ada and he knows what he’s doing sharpening.

Great vid for those getting their first system or those that want to upgrade to something better. The cost determines the system of choice for many people. With all the ones shown you can get amazing results on most knives and while there is a learning curve they are much easier than leaning Freehand Sharpening. Patience and attention to detail is big when sharpening so I'd recommend getting a jeweler's loup or some sort of magnifying lens when you start out to get a clear picture of what is happening when you are sharpening and looking for that grit pattern (going from the top of the bevel to the apex of the edge) and burr forming at the apex of the blade. Also a sharpie marker to fill in the edge bevel to ensure you are hitting the correct spot with the angle of the stones. Once you have the blade clamped and edge marked try to set your angle close to the same angle as on the bevel of the knife and do a single pass with your starting sharpening stone.if the stone hits the whole marked bevel with the stone your all set, but If your stone leaves behind the top of the marked bevel marker (Usually black is best for the contrast with a marker and the steel) you must lower the angle, and if its left at the apex (very edge of the blade) you must raise it, make sure to do this in small increments if wishing to match the bevel perfectly. Its a great way to check your progress if you wish to match, raise, or lower the angle you are sharpening as well. Also kapton tape makes it so the blade doesnt take any damage from the clamps when tightening them down onto the blade. Painters tape can be used aleo along with taping off the front of the knife (where blade and handle meet) so metal particals do not get into the pivot and washers or bearings of the knife. Just a few tips on making the systems better. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.

Digital angle finders are what I consider useless accessories. Think about it. If your sharpener is on a table, even if the table is tilted 45 degrees, the angle that matters is the one between the tool base and the tool arm. I've never seen a fixed angle sharpening system that doesn't have some type of markings on the unit itself and that is really all you need. Most of my knives are pocket knives and about 95% of them get sharpened to 17 degrees. I rarely try to match factory angles as they are usually a compromise and differ from what works for me. I'm all about set it and forget it, to the point I bought a second system that I do adjust just for kitchen knives and really thick stock fixed blades and folders. Works for me.

So TS Prof contacted me with an offer to make some sharpening videos and to provide the affiliate links on my channel in exchange for a free system and 7% commission on all sales through my link. I turned the offer down because it is a Russian company and I’m standing with Ukraine. I would recommend reviewers and influencers to make clear verbal and written statements when the affiliation exists and commissions are being paid. It is a more honest way to interact with the community and most of us don’t mind supporting our favorite channels anyway, so why not just say that an affiliation exists? On a basic TS Prof 7% commission is $24.50 and why would anyone mind Jared making a couple of bucks as a “thank you?”
