    I got one of them worksharp field thingimys. If I've not cut anything too hard, a quick couple of passes on the strop and I can shave my arm with them. If the blade has started properly blunting, a few passes on the fine diamond plate get it ready for stropping.

    I tried to sharpen it using sharping rig, it works kinda, but leave scrathces on side(from abrasives that get into the clamp). Also adding water to the sharpening stone crucial for proper surfacing of the edge. I also tried hand sharpening. It may seems hard but actually its not with this knowves, they have very nice curve that lays on the stone very well when sharpening by hand. I'd say if you have a rig - sharp with the rig, you'll be able to set strict edge, but if you haven't - do by hand, it's not so complicated as may apear, it's even easier to get nice edge and razor sharpness by hand sharpening than using rig. Llike from start to finish its 3-5 minutess of hand sharpening vs 30-40 min using a rig to achive same result, with rig sharpener edge will be same sharpness but sligthly more clear and flat edge line. Also I do not recomment to polish edge with stones over 600 - they become duler and stops shave, especially when i go over 1k grid. IDK why, is it my cheap chineeze stones or Victorynox stainless steel didnt make for that. To make edge shine I use skin belt after 400 grid with small ammount of polishing compound.

    My father taught me how to use a knife. At the end of this video you close the blade in exactly the way my father taught me. No other RUclips videos I’ve seen does. Blades are pushed upwards with apparently less than firm grip on the body of the knife. When you’ve cut your fingers with a non locking blade of an Opinel knife you take great care never to repeat the mistake with any other knife. ‘Our’method keeps sharp edges away from fingers without having to look.

  • @Watchamacallit
    @Watchamacallit 6 месяцев назад

    With both the victorinox sharpener and the sandpaper, he's running the abrasive completely past the blade tip, which is going to round it off. And as far as the automotive compound, why the dickens would you feel the need to remove light scratches from an SAK blade?

    You can also put a electrical shrink warp tube over the length corkscrew that will help keep everything together and protect the bees wax from rubbing off the twine if the knife is carried in the pocket.

    I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDcr-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.

    Cool vid. I have never used the beeswax jute twine. I have used paraffin soaked newspaper rolls or tissue-paper and vaseline soaked cotton balls for "poor man's" emergency tinder in my boy scout days. Now I usually carry a couple of sheets of wax paper in my backpacking kit that is lighter. I also keep a couple of military solid fuel (like esbit) stove blocks in my car. I would probably use a firefly ferro rod toothpick replacement (I never in my life used the toothpick on these knives). I have one of those in every one of my SAKs. Never once used it in an emergency, but nice to know it is there! I have practiced with one just to train and know how to do it if there was a real emergency. Kind of tough to get used to with a ferro rod that small, but it does indeed work with a little practice and decent tinder.

Something told me to watch it and I'm glad I did - not what I was expecting but a very thoughtful and positive piece which gives hope to people of all kinds but especially those who suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental health issues - the video was delivered in a very easy to listen way and encourages contemplation of one's own worries in a different fashion - possibly looking at problems from a different perspective - thank you for the work.
