I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzfaq.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

I love cooking and the outdoors, also collect knives, so have become fairly adept at sharpening knives of various kinds - through trial and error, and some scratched up knives along the way. I really wish I watched this vid when I started out, it really covers the basics and concepts excellently - it would have saved me a ton of time and pain along the way. Plenty of sharpening vids out there, but this presents the basics very well and explains some of the key concepts and principles you need to know, without an hour lecture. Only thing I thought could do with is a strop section, as it usually my go to method for more frequent maintenance and used more than my stones. Highly recommended for those starting their sharpening journey, really will fast track your technique and process. 5 thumbs up SharpEdge!

@SharpEdgeshop 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Joon, thank you so much for your extensive feedback and for recommendations, we are happy to hear you like our video! Indeed, regular use of the leather strop is important and recommended, like a honing rod it significantly prolongs the sharpness. We're also glad to hear you still have all 5 thumbs to point them up! 🤪😉✌️

I'm just now getting into Japanese knives, and using Japanese water stones for sharpening, and getting the basics down first is what is most important to me at this present time.

This knife sharpening video is simply the best,and most informative I've had the pleasure to watch! I have been sharpening my own knives in a similar fashion and those of friends for many years, and I have often watched many such videos on KZfaq. This video is by far the best and most informative ever. It is my opinion this is the best knife hand sharpening video on KZfaq You've even explained simply and in detail, what might look obvious to some. however, for some I'm sure many people don't realise these are a necessary and essential steps. (If somebody doesn't understand what I mean, then it's better that you play this video again and listen very carefully to the words.) I love your technique and your patience shows. You taught me some interesting and helpful nuances today. For that Luka and Cedo, I thank you sincerely. By the way, the accent of your voice man is so good tool. PS: I must admit though that like few other comments here, I found watching the knife running over his finger nail gave me an unpleasant sensation. So I tried it myself, and now I no longer get that sensation. Thanks again.

Hi Russel, thank you so much for such a lovely comment. We're very happy to hear that you like our sharpening guide. A lot of work and effort went into it, and comments like yours make it all feel worth it! We understand that the nail test makes some people uneasy, it's not a very common thing to do with the knife, but we're glad that you gave it a try! It's all we ask for, to try it and see if it works for you :) While it might seem intimidating in the first place, once you try it, it's not a big deal. Plus, it's the best way (at least for us) to try for burr levels. All the best!

@@darrensomerton2405 Our best advice would be practice, practice and once again practice. Try to sharpen as many knives as possible. That way you will encounter different profiles and different shapes and different materials and will become a better sharpener for it. Try to watch as many online sharpening videos, Instagram posts and websites on tips on how to sharpen the knife. Ask if you have any questions, usually the knife community is very helpful. 😉

@@SharpEdgeshop yeah, skeptical at first then said what the hell, but not until after the final polishing, if it is smooth all the way through its sharp, if it snags a little, run it through a few more times👍

@@raffieb762 Yeah, you can try this also during sharpening to find spots that need a bit more work. 👍

Great video ! ! ! Thank you for sharing ! ! The one part doesn't look too great is the finger nail test. As a guitarist I'd probably be looking for another test option ! ! LOL

Thanks! Fingernail test is, according to our experience, the best way to feel the burr along blade's edge, but there are other methods to feel it too, so do what works best for you! As long as the knives are sharp and fingers intact, any method works fine :)

To Sharp Edge: This is highly technical and more involved than I thought. Maybe this is the reason my scissors are not satisfyingly sharp: I had researched, watched other videos, believing the tools I have, would suffice. I wanted to get that razor-thin blade type of cut. Question: What do you think of those automatic belt sharpeners in the marketplace?

@SharpEdgeshop 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Eddy, we're glad to hear you liked our guide! I hope your scissors got the edge that they deserve! Belt sharpeners produce a lot of friction and heat during sharpening, so they are not the best choice for Japanese knives, as the chemical structure of the steel can change due to the heat which can make the knife more brittle. Water stones are better because water insulates the heat.

This was just awesome! I have all the sharpening tools here to get going. One stupid question is how long should I be working on one side of the blade before working on the other? I did a practice run and was pissed with my result. Your guide is fantastic though.

Thanks Jason! My baseball coach always said there are no stupid questions! ;) Unfortunately I cannot give you a concrete answer because it depends on so many factors (like the condition of the edge on your knife, which steel is it made of, how much pressure you apply, etc). I'd recommend that the number of strokes on each side should be equal. Do 20 strokes on one side, then 20 on the other, see the result (nail test), then repeat. It also depends on the granulation of the stone - with which stone did you start with? If the granulation is too high, you won't get very far..
