Hey Phil.. I had a question. I don't want to purchase another tool for my shop. I like to keep the space. So do you think this would be a good substitute for not using a grinding wheel as you have? This is just for my own use.

@philyorkknives6651 6 ай бұрын

Hi Vince. I am not quite sure what you are asking. I think the way that I have done this with the belt on the flat platten is as good or better than using a grinding wheel. If you have a belt grinder I would not buy another tool. The important thing is to make a little jig like I did. You could even make something similar over a wet stone.

@@philyorkknives6651 thanks Phil. I do have a really nice two by 72 belt grinder and I can sharpen any kind of knife extremely well after a couple years of practice. It looks like your jig I could do my lathe tools as well. That is great to hear. Definitely putting together a jig like yours

I have all the Atomas and I really like the way they feel when cutting. I have a set of the PD Tools CBN stones that were a few dollars more in price. $65 vs $70. But the Atomas just give you more satisfaction in feel, grit marks, and seems faster too. Longevity? We shall see. The trick is use very little pressure.

Did you put the paste on fine side or rough side ? someone help .

@philyorkknives6651 Жыл бұрын

I use the fine side for stropping knives. This type of stropping is the final process in sharpening or maintaining an edge. The fine side gives much better contact and is superior for this type of application.

When splitting a sharp edge gives better initial bite. I agree that ultra sharp is not required for splitting but it is desirable for chopping.

Thank you. I learned making a strop isn't magic, to put the shiny side up, to drag backward rather than push the blade forward and to get diamond paste. If you had neglected to mention shiny side up I may have put the rough side up.

Your observations here are almost exactly what l would have said about my own Atoma 400. Mine is nicely worn in now and almost as smooth to use as a coarse whetstone, but still cuts quickly and delivers extremely crisp bevels. I usually use it for those occasions where l have had to spend a long time on my 200 grit to make a completely new edge, and want to make sure the new bevel is very crisp and even before moving up to an intermediate stone. I've been enjoying your videos very much, btw.

Usually diamond plates should be used with low pressure. You push sharpen and use a lot of pressure. How has the plate held up? I know you can easily kill DMTs like this.

Can you give some basic tips on how to maintain a strop and how you'd clean the old paste off

@Handles-R-Lame 3 жыл бұрын

Once you apply a paste or lapping compound you cannot remove it completely, so make sure its the strop you want it on before using it. I usually have two seperate strops for this reason; one for polishing the edge with a compound and another for honing the edge without compound. Hope this helps!

@3spressoShot Жыл бұрын

I belive mineral oil helps clean it for when you want to reapply another layer of paste.. but you can never go back to pure leather.

Sorry I missed your question from 2 years ago. I cut telephone book paper. Use the entire length of the blade when doing so. If you finish sharpening on a course stone (less than 1000 grit) your cut may feel snaggy. With finer finishing stones the paper should cut very easily and smoothly.

Why skin side up ? I thought it’s supposed to be flesh side up ? Thanks

@davidprice1811 5 жыл бұрын

for the much finer diamond pastes, the smoother the original surface the better. Because it is applied in such a thin layer (especially compared to the block format polishing compounds), the rough side just isn't ideal for this application. With the coarser compounds the rough side is fine since you can build it up. You can't build the diamond pastes up the same way, otherwise you wont get the same performance out of it.

Thank you for a very informative video ... just a quick perhaps somewhat a naive question since i'm not a knife enthusiast but is considering in buying a better knife in the $100 price range to replace my Walmart knife ...since i heard that proper knife sharpening requires a skill that needs to be developped over time or a good quality knife may remain dull, so i'm thinking i should go to a professional knife sharpener in the beginning ... with routing daily stropping for a minute of two, how long will the knife remain razor sharp for normal daily usage without any abuse on cutting hard items such as bones nuts?

@philyorkknives6651 6 жыл бұрын

MichaelMing thanks for your question. There are too many variables to give you a time period however if you strop once or twice a week your knife will stay sharp for a long time. My kitchen knives will get 4 to 5 months of daily use when stropped compared to about 1 month without stropping. I sharpen a lot and have demanding standards for sharpness so you may get longer. The takeout message is that stropping dramatically increases time between sharpening.

@DivineTrueGod 6 жыл бұрын

MichaelMing Victorinox fibrox make a great budget knife that sharpen really well. Tojiro DP seem to be a good budget Japanese knife although I don’t have much experience with them. If you are willing to spend more money then the sky is the limit. Start looking at good knife retailers and reading reviews. If you can it is preferable to handle a knife to check the ergonomics before you buy. Another piece of good advice is to buy a few good knives rather than a big set of average ones. A chef knife and a paring knife is really all you need.

In this video, he's very good about explaining the nuances that make the difference between creating an effective strop and making a useless piece of gunked-up leather.
