My dad was really good at sharpening knives. He always wanted to teach me, but I did not listen. Now my dad is gone, I wish I would have learned this skill from him. He could make a knife scary sharp. I tell people if you are learning to carve, learn to sharpen and maintain your knife as you go. Thanks for helping people. I really like your whale!

As there appears to be no information about sharpening knives here I am out.

Very nice video except and except for one comment I wouldn't change a thing. I like the way that you have the sandpaper pre-glued to your MBF. Makes it very handy for multiple or future sharpening. However, I couldn't help but wonder why you pulled the blade towards you instead of away from you as you did with the strop. The whole idea is to develop a new wire edge and in pulling it toward you you're not obtaining that gold. I believe that if you pulled the blade away from you you'd have ended up with even a sharper edge than you did.

Only the Lord Jesus Christ will give you true and lasting peace. God bless.

Thanks for showing us. im the same i like to get out in nature, its our natural environment that we were made for ,soon when god steps in to this worlds affairs as promised, those who survive will enjoy everlasting life on a cleansed new earth Psalms 37 verses 10 and 11 and also verse 29 .see we live on earth not heaven ,and the works of our hands will be used to the full with lots of projects Isaiah 65 verses 17 to 25 .

Very Nice instructions, I use basically the same way. Except I went to my local glass shop and he cut 6mm thick glass for me, I told him what I was doing with it and he recommended this glass, works perfectly ,you can see what the Grit is thru the glass ,it's tough I have dropped it with no breakage and is waterproof and perfectly flat.

When the bevel is facing you stroke the knife away from you

what a down to earth guy, thank you.. im in a bit of a pickle with wanting to start whittling with little money

THIS A NATURE SHOW OR LEARNING HOW TO SHARPEN KINVES?

God's creation is so much better than man's creation.

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night

Love the vibe! Loving nature and what it gives us.

Thank you, for the demonstration on sharping the knife. I just started basic wood cuts,but never taught how to sharpen knife properly.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, from the UK.

Nice trick. I've used the sandpaper "Scary Sharp" system for my plane irons and woodworking chisels for years. Will have to try it for my carving/whittling knives.

Thank you so much this is exactly what I needed to know to sharpen my carving tools 😁😘

Thank you for balancing me. Nature is beautiful.

Hi Vladimir, these days I only keep a small ceramic stone near me & when I feel my knife is dulling, I just gently give it a back & forth on the stone & it’s scary sharp again. 😁

Great job on the video AND the teaching.....Keep up the good work, and the best to you.

I appreciate this video. Thank you for the help, and I also appreciate your reminder to be out in nature. It is very grounding and I haven’t been out much. It’s hard when it gets darker cause of daylight savings (;
