I don’t know about cheep but I bought a worksharp hand held that has 2 diamond plates adjustable ceramic round bar with a built on strop and I can put a empty toilet paper roll on the table and slice into it from the side on an angle without touching the roll and complete the cut like it was butter. It’s a great addition to a back pack or camping gear as well and has a built in 20 degree guide as well. Great small investment for someone with bad eyes that can’t seem to keep the same angle on a regular flat stone 🫠

You make a point my metalworking and technical drawing teacher made nearly six decades ago, in that the striations caused by sharpening a tool (knife in this case) ought to be parallel to the direction of travel of the cutting tool, perpendicular to the cutting edge, and that the "micro serrations" that arose were beneficial. Milling cutters sharpened on a surface grinder, with striations running parallel to the cutting edge will blunt quicker, too...

YES, finally someone else that knows how to use one, I use the Blade Medic, I have MANY different pull throughs and they are basically trash, been using the blade medic for oh,,, about fifteen years, can you get it hair whittling, no, but sharp enough to fillet your fingerprints off, how many how much sharper do you need a knife for everyday use, I just last night put a lengthy comment on this very video explaining how to use and for some reason it didn't show up, figures. I explained that I understand about the micro abrasions and these guys are insanely amazing at what they do BUT the right pull through used the right way works and I can carry it without obstruction in my front pocket, try that with the WORK SHARP FIELD SHARPENER, just takes practice and patience to learn like anything else. Stay safe and God bless.

Man your jokes on this video were on point! Very well done and I hope your recovery is going well! Side note - clip the living hell out of this video for the shorts! I particularily loved the brick bit, the content it prime!

I'm actually starting to get better now. It took me about a week of following your instructions before I started to notice my technique increase. It's still not perfect but I can definitely see an improvement and it's so satisfying. FINALLY getting somewhere. The thing is, right now I'm actually better on a diamond stone than I am on a whetstone. The whetstone seems like a totally different monster

Subbed as soon as i saw you sharpen on a brick. I learned to sharpen on sandstone bricks around my grandparents flower beds when i was around 8 years old. All those hours with a cheap pocket knife and a brick through my younger years were well spent.
