Here is what I do. I use the little binding clip… you know the one that has a metal black body and two silver wires that fold one way to open the black clip and then folds flat against the paper. Take it and clip it on the spine of your knife with the wire in the position to open the black clip and it will hold the angle for sharpening. Swipe the blade kind of like a windshield wiper motion. I used a piece of glass with fine sand paper glued to the surface on either side. Gentle strokes work great for a fresh edge.
Is this effective for every kind of knife? My Mtech tanto neck knife would not raise a burr, and I have stroked one side over 200 times. Do cheap metals resist sharpening?
I bought this same stone-sharpening kit awhile back. Can I soak the stones in water, or do I have to stick with the oil that comes with the kit? The label on the bottle says it's oil, but you said it's a water based solution. If it's water based, I should be able to soak the stones in water, yes?
you don't want the burr that's blade wear you just want to sharpen the edge that's why you use a fine and extra fine stone to make the edge uniform watch the Japanese to see how they sharpen the edge the katana ends up being polished with a 6,000 grit stone remember they have been making swords razor sharp for like 1,500 years
David dor some reason I can't get past the add on all your vids lately I thought it was my internet connection at first but it's only on your channel??.any advice?
Are you talking about arm hair shaving or 5 day beard growth shaving without irritation? Two very different things. Any reasonably sharp knife can shave arm hair…..But the general principal of your video is well taken
And he pays for a honing solution thats water based even though water works fine for a honer and he doesnt talk about oil stones either or sandpaper sharpening
David, so what about if you have a big knife and a dinky sharpening stone? Just saying from experience because I usually carry a decent sized blade (5"-6") in the woods with me, but I don't have the room or want to carry the added weight of a full benchstone. So I carry a pocket stone like the Fallkniven DC4 or Smith's pocket Arkansas stone, or a sharpening rod like the Smith's DRET, or EZE lap diamond rod.
Great video very interesting but I still don't understand what that blur thing as I don't see what you're talking about when I'm trying to sharpen but thanks I'll probably figure it out soon
sucks
You're supposed to soak the stone before using it
I see in other videos that you soak the stone in water for 15 min.
You don't sharpen the heel?

You're not even sharpening the whole edge while showing how to do it…

05:25 WHEN THE OLD WHATT?????
It's an absolute sin to use a real Arkansas stone without oil. There is no such thing as a fine stone that's too slick. The slicker, the better.
as much as I want to learn about stone sharpening, ima stick with my ceramic carbide sharpeners
Can you use oil with the smiths stone?

Thank you, for the info on sharpening it's very helpful now i know how to use sharpening stones
doesnt fully saturate his stone which will cause uneven ware as well
And he pays for a honing solution thats water based even though water works fine for a honer and he doesnt talk about oil stones either or sandpaper sharpening
Diamond stones ware out while I'm still using my grandfathers Arkansas stone

practice what you preach.. the way your stroking your blade along the stone is going to ruin the tip..
you look like icabod crain from disneys sleepy hollow lol freaking awesome awesome tut
if your having a hard time feeling the bur on your palm try running the blade BACKWARDS against the side of your thumb or across the back of a finger.
