Just wanna say thanks for making this video. I just bought my 1×30 at Harbor Freight today… just have to wait for the belts to come in from Amazon.com.
Great little sander from harbor freight. I found that if you hold the blade up higher on the belt, just above the rear support you won't get that chattering. Thanks for making the vid :O)
awesome video Scott. Thank you. I read down in the comments and did not notice if you mentioned which grits you used for sharpening. Sorry if I missed it, please advise if you see this. Also, re: comments that this method will ruin the temper of your blade – looks pretty much exactly like the same method all the bladesmiths use on Forged In Fire tv show – and they use the belt sanders post tempering.
I use a belt grinder called a Robert Sorby Pro Edge. Check it out on the net,the build quality is very high and comes with a great range of belts upto a 3000 trizac belt that mirror polishes the edge. The grinder is an artisan hand made machine that punches way above what it's compact dimensions would suggest. Possibly the best belt grinder on the market?
I sharpened a buck foldable when i was in Japan,it went straight through a heavy duty leather glove and half way through my thumb before i got it stopped. i had a tri stone a shipyard worker left behind. i used to watch my grandpa sharpen knives.
little brother lives in Moyock,NC. I got some vinegar BBQ sauce from him and it was the best ihave had in a long time, being a diabetic it was the best.
A question for you Scott. Please accept my apologies if a repeat of a previous question. (1) Is it true that cutting paper will quickly dull a knife blade? That's what my Dad, God rest his soul, told me many years ago. If it is true, I wonder why it occurs so quickly. Thanks in advance Scott and thanks for a fantastic video! Definitely going to share this one on social media!
Is there an Emery Cloth Belt that you can put on that Belt Sander? Emery Cloth will polish that blade edge. That would put an edge on that blade like a Ghatana.
Scott can you please tell me what is the grit of your belts that you use and can you please tell me if one can purchase and wear can I purchase from 30 inch leather belts? Thank you
Please help me. I don't speak well English. Which grit is good for that ? at first he says 400 but then he talks about 80 and then 220. which one should I buy ?
I first saw this back in feb this year…I have lots of dull kitchen knives …. i need a belt sander

Nice
I'm sorry if you already answered this, but, what grit are you using ?
This isn't make the knife sharp,this just make the edge fragmented,thats why it cuts paper
Right on, I'm gonna have to try it out. Thanks for the heads up man.
Angle the blade so the sandpaper doesn't create a burr. Takes less pressure, but more passes. Saves on honing time.

Wow!
Real nice, can't believe how fast that was to sharpen that knife 🙂
Can't believe it. I'm cuttin' paper!!! Thanks!
Простой но колхозный вариант
so cool.
I know it says in the description that it's safe, but won't this hurt the steel?
Will this work on thick knifes?

i watched a vlog a few weeks ago of a rancher using a knife sharpner from Russia, WAS PRETTY UNIQUE.

Actually you are NOT removing the burr,you are standing it up
If I don't have the leather belt can I use a honing steel?
try work sharp…
liked the lil carbide sander great perf for a cheap sander!! i hope you polished off that rough edge
with a polishing stone!!
Is there an Emery Cloth Belt that you can put on that Belt Sander? Emery Cloth will polish that blade edge. That would put an edge on that blade like a Ghatana.
ok great,, where did you get the 400 grit belt
Cool thanks.
your popups are annoying
where did you purchase 200 and400 grit 1×30 inch belts, I can't find them anywhere
I have been using a work sharp belt system sharpener for years, $50 from midway USA come with guides. Awesome!

Okay, okay! I'll do whatever you say!
nice video – thanks.
Scott can you please tell me what is the grit of your belts that you use and can you please tell me if one can purchase and wear can I purchase from 30 inch leather belts? Thank you
Scott Gregg what's good grit sizes to have for this setup? Sharpening Kitchen & Pocket knives.
what will be the best belt result in sharping knife? Im getting one
did I hear you say "maintain a right angle?"…lolz or the "correct angle"
Please help me. I don't speak well English. Which grit is good for that ? at first he says 400 but then he talks about 80 and then 220. which one should I buy ?
This is only relevant if you have a machine, if not get a stone. It's no big deal to sharpen a knife.
That Japanese knife couldn't cut butter on a hot day.
How much is that cute little thing?
400 grit?
you're great!!!
good video thanks
I'll be checking out Harbor Freight tomorrow. Thanks for the lesson! Where can I get the leather belt?
