They sell cheap laser angle finders on Amazon. Would like to see you use one on a finished sharpening job. It really shows how clean and accurate you get the angle. (Edit: it will also reveal if you are convexing the edge)

@samueljackson856 Ай бұрын

The paper test can be a sharpness test. The less sound it makes the sharper the knife. The sound your paper makes you're probably in a 250-300 gram range. Just guessing lol. Why don't you do the wire cut test and laser test. If you can get one to 50 grams on a larger knife it would be impressive. 😊

When you said “I have no idea what angle that is” I was instantly released from my obsession with the ‘correct’ angle. It was what I imagine an exorcism might be like. Thank you for that.

@mikafoxx2717 13 күн бұрын

The correct angle is as shallow your tasks for that knife allows, shallower is better for edge retention and sharpness and cutting ability. Go more obtuse if it chips or rolls the edge. It all depends on the steel, the heat treat, the use case. Kitchen knives can be really shallow, an axe not as much.

You are selling yourself short by a lot of $. You have to fix the fact that you're not getting a cut of the sale of the sharpening stones you're recommending. You're the reason these stones are hard to find. You have built a solid reputation and we trust your referral. You deserve a cut of the big bucks. Good to hear you're healing up well. It is amazing that you can take such a simple topic and turn it into this much good info and entertainment. I am always learning new stuff. That may be because I am a little slow and forget what is said too quickly. Lol. I also hate the phrase “practice makes perfect”, if you practice badly you will only get good at doing things badly.

13:25 I totally felt identified with your reaction 😂, that "oh! It's sharp!" look. I kind of know that a surgeon sharp knife is not required for most of my applications (I just like to cook). But I'm also a mechanical engineer, I know one or two things about steel, and I'm also obsessed with sharpness. It is always this sensation of "let's make it sharper, I can make it sharper" I recently found your channel and I have learned so much. My onions don't even know they are being sliced and diced now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I'm now slicing paper with some coarse stones, and haven't even gotten a strop yet! Thank you so much for your content.

Just want to say thanks from New Zealand. Was spending a lot on "professional" sharpening on our kitchen knives that went dull again really quickly. Splashed out on a diamond stone and a leather strop, watched your videos a few times and took a crack at some of them and even with the first, rookie go at it they're so much better. I will continue to check out your vids and refine my technique, thank you!

@shortcircuit7310 Ай бұрын

Alex does the best sharpening videos on KZfaq, IMO. Simple , straightforward instructions. He backs up the theory of what he's doing by showing us the excellent imagery of the edge. From an ease of use and lack of mess point of view, I sharpen on cheap diamond stones from Temu, with a strop. If anyone wants to learn sharpening, my tip would be to not start on stainless steel kitchen knives, which are relatively difficult to form a burr and need more work because of their length. To learn the basics, pick up a small Opinel knife, the carbon steel one, not the "Inox" which is stainless. The carbon steel forms a burr really easily and the burr comes off easily too. And it takes a really short time to do because the blade is so small. Once you understand the process with the Opinel, you can go to other more difficult knives

@orangetruckman Ай бұрын

Well, I appreciate you providing a real-time sharpening video. With the knowledge I was taught, knives were never really “sharp” and wouldn’t maintain the edge.

Knives are somewhat enchanting for me so i look for a really precious one. Those ones youve shown in your videos feel like legendary weapon. As you know there is a war going on at my home and i have gone to the military service. Life can end abruptly here so i decided to try and ask. Can you please sell me one of your super knives, like the one you have shown chopping wood all day etc? It can be ugly, unfinished or broken, i just want to finally see what the really good and properly tempered steel from a real master feels like. Thank you in advance! For anyone who see this please upvote so the master can see it. Thank you very much and may you all live long and happy lives.

You touched on sharpening with only the course stone to have some "teeth". Thinking this may be the best advice ever for us kitchen folk as a bit of tooth really helps. Even if I'm prepared to do all of the polishing, how would a super-duper polished edge benefit a kitchen knife? I think maybe a longer lasting edge, but is that all? Got that SHARPAL stone, very nice. THANK YOU for teaching all of this. Greatly appreciated.

@USSMariner Ай бұрын

IIRC edge retention also involves the steel of the knife. Then again, he sharpened a 1 dollar kitchen knife and it whittled a 2x4 for hours so maybe it's much ado about nothing.

@jamesruth100 Ай бұрын

@@USSMariner Yeah, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of factors that are relevant for edge retention. The type of steel, the quality of the actual bar stock, quality of the heat treatment, the kind of grind, the knife's thickness, the angle it's sharpened at, what level it's sharpened to, the material you're cutting into, etc.; it's insanely complex.

I really really appreciate that you make these videos. I've watched all of your reference videos in the past and I've tried hand sharpening SO many times and my problem is I just can't keep a consistent angle. As I'm sure you know, it doesn't take much variation to fuck up an apex. It makes me sad because I have some nice diamond stones. I ended up just buying a tsprof sharpening system and it works fantastically and I can get a mirror edge that will whittle hair. I do really really wish i could hand sharpen though, but I don't think it's ever gonna happen. I say all that to say that that's why I think these videos aren't that popular. It's just SO hard to teach hand sharpening over a video (or at least learn it) so I think people either reach out to friends/relatives to teach them in person, or they just buy systems where they don't have to hold a perfect angle. just my $.02

I listened to your advice and proceeded to buy a two-sided diamond stone (400 and 1000), a strop, and cromium oxide (I couldn't find diamond compounds in my country). I started to train on my kitchen knives, with mixed results but better than I expected. After two weeks and some knives, I proceeded to sharpen all the knives in my office, where they were super dull and almost unusable. This is where I've learned the most and had the best results after 3.5 hours of sharpening 10 knives. Even on the coarse 400-grit size, it takes some time (15-20 minutes) to give a bevel to a very dull knife. When I come back to a knife that I already sharpened, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to get it back to shaving sharp. What I've seen is that edge retention is a small issue for me, as knives don't shave anymore after 1-2 weeks of usage. Maybe it's my technique or the type of steel the knives have. I will continue to get better at sharpening knives, and that is thanks to you!

@nickmontgomery347 Ай бұрын

Something I use as a guide for pressure (which might be lost on people with no carpentry experience...so, sorry in advance) is I compare it to a saw. It's hard to imagine an ordinary handsaw as having a mind of its own, but it definitely has its purpose, and you have to let the saw do that purpose for you, not the other way around. When using a saw, you never use any real muscle because the teeth will dig into the wood and bind up your cut. But use too little muscle, and you won't cut into the wood. All you need to do is keep it moving, and the saw will do the rest. No pressure required. It's something you get the feel for by doing it. Same with sharpening. You have to feel the stone taking away the metal.

For a dull blade, i go through 5 grades of diamond stones, the finest stone is. 6 microns.. Then̈ I go to leather with 50,000 grit compound. Then comes hard leather for the finissh. I take care to polish the sides of the blade mirror smoothe. The idea is to create the edge down the center of the blade metal. With practice, your angle will improve. With diamonds, I dont worry about the burr. Even a surgeon will not handle my blades.
