This is an edge repair on the worst mora bushcraft knife I have ever seen. We discuss edge geometry, and then use a combination of a belt grinder and water stones to restore this damaged knife to a razor sharp blade.

That’s how I handled a friends 40 year old Buck 110 the other night. Found an appropriate angle to just get rid of the recurve at the blade base yet maintain a good amount of material. It came out well. Did it free hand on water stones.

Having a convex curve can definitely add strength to a blade edge but how are you going to resharpen it easily?? So I agree. A flat grind is almost always a better answer.

I have only watched a couple of your videos so far--the anniversary knife repair series and now this one--but I have to take my hat off to you sir!!! You are a brilliant teacher! I genuinely think I have picked up some tips already from what you have said in these uploads, plus you hugely demystify the whole process. There is so much... rubbish... talked about anything to do with knives. Some of the YT creators who cover this handicraft make it look like magic, something completely beyond ordinary mortals. Instead the practicality, and common sense you demonstrate is worth so much _more_ to the layman, those who are just getting interested in sharpening or even all-out knife making at home. Cannot wait for the next video!!!

How big was the nick? I once had a Mora basic come to me with a very small chip in the edge. It was just barely big enough to see with the eye, but I could feel it easy with my thumbnail. I decided NOT to reprofile it, because the tiny chip really didn't affect its function. Besides, a small nick will just disappear after a few sharpenings anyways. I'd suggest just normal strop and regular maintenance, unless the nick is really in the way.

Learning this concept is one of the biggest things in knife sharpening. You can get a useable edge with any stone as long as you keep an even grind. As soon as you screw it up, not even the best stone can save you, but with a perfect grind, even a garden rock can make a useable edge.

I am late to the game so to speak but watching you polish the edges in I ha e a question. By not keeping up with the strokes are you not going to have an un even edge down the length of the edge? When I am using these expensive stones I always try to make sure that whatever I do in one side I do on the other. I keep all moras perfectly sharp. I have one that is a display knife and the scandi has a mirror reflection. Literally you can see yourself crystal clear. You make sharpening knives look easy but it took me over 25 years to really become a master knife sharpener. Love your channel and how you explain everything.

@@kyle_noseworthy ---- Hi, Kyle. Very nice work you do. After sharpening a few times, trying to use a chef's knife with a bolster like one would use a santoku for dicing or mincing on a cutting board doesn't work, because the bolster hits the board. You can sharpen the edge right up to the bolster, but then the bolster is about a 3mm thickness of steel there, and will just dig a ditch in a sharpening stone. I got a Dremel moto tool little grinding wheel and ground a millimeter (1000 microns!!) of it away, so the edge of the knife at the heel made contact with the board. The rest of the bolster is still there, so it isn't a Japanese style santoku, but you can use it like one. But I didn't do a very neat-looking job grinding, and couldn't figure out what would look best. It looks like a dented bumper on a car, heh.. You did such a good job, so quickly, cutting the sharpening notch, grinding down or cutting down a bolster would be easy for you. I'm curious about how you would shape, or reshape, the bolster.

I like the 320 Shapton but I find a lil too thirsty to be splash and go. You can kinda see it in your video, after a but the water gets absorbed too fast. I like to splash it a few times in a sink, let it drink up and splash some more and after a bit the water stays on the surface. That's why the 1,000 Shapton is one of my favorite stones. It's truly splash and go and its rough enough(it's closer to 800-900 than 1,000 in micron size) for most jobs(I only use 320 for big chips and 120 for reprofile) and it leaves a nice enough finish and the edge still has some good bite to it. I might do a few swipes on the 2,000 but for a utility edge its good enough. If you want to make it look better then I start going up grits.

@shadyeskimo 3 жыл бұрын

Great vid man. BTW it is not a Nagura. Nagura are used to create a slurry that you sharpen with, usually on higher finisihing grit stones. And I usually only see them on waterstones or naturals. The stone you have from Naniwa is a cleaning stnne, used to clean surfaces of clogged up stones. If you try a Naniwa Pro 3000 grit, you will be amazed how little you need to use the cleaning stone, compared to the Naniwa Superstones, also the Super are much faster to wear down than Naniwa Pro´s. Also a Nagura comes with each stone, and is the same grit as the stone, so as to not create a slurry consistent of different grits.

I've found that the Bushcraft bevel is to aggressive to begin with esp the wall of the belly. I put mine on the new Precision Adjust worksharp and I gotta say it's good for those who can't use stones. It's not made for reprofiling so using a belt to begin that task is needed but they do have a 220 grit diamond now which is pretty wicked for simple changes. I lifted the edge thinned it out which extended the tip just a hair . It's a very good blade now ...They make these things to be batoned through big logs ...,For me it's a silly idea , I just like a knife to be a knife. I can baton with it just kindling no need to abuse her . Those Bushcrafter blacks looks really cool once they are polished. Also you are so right , ya gotta add that sharpening choil regardless if ya keep it stock or not it's a must .

Based on the scratch pattern parallel with the edge and bevel pattern tapering out from the heel it definitely looks like he was using a draw-through sharpener on the knife originally.

@mikecollins8241 Жыл бұрын

That's what I was thinking, probably a powered one (like the worksharp) I recently spent 4-5 hours (by hand/ with stones only) repairing a bunch of knives that my friend drug thru a carbide V "sharpener" and it had literally tore chunks of steel out of the edges!

@D00MTR33 2 жыл бұрын

Great job repairing that knife. I wonder what he used to sharpen it? It looks like a pull through sharpener(never seen one used on a scandi edge before) since the scratches at the edge were parallel to the edge instead of perpendicular. Hopefully he can maintain now that its fixed. Since its just carbon steel a good strop with some compound would go a long way to maintain that edge for a while. You only need to take it to stones if it gets chipped or you really dulled it up without touching it up.
