Sharpening "in the field" is sometimes alot closer than what you think it is
Mr calton happy new year! God bless hope everything is well
Nice video. I built one today but was confused on the locking mechanism. Thanks alot.
I’ve had that stone for almost a year. After you use it for awhile it gets much smother. I like it a lot not Shute how long it last. So far I’m amazed with it. I go from the fine side strait to a strop and get a great edge.
I've been using the 3x8 Ultra Sharp 3 stone set (300,600,1200) for years now. The 1200 is just now starting to go much finer; like the 3000 I bought from them. Wish i hadn't now since I need another 1200. Best Sharpening Stones sells them about $10 cheaper than Amazon. I may just replace the 1200 with this Sharpal. Love the face shave. I'm not brave enough, besides, I'd mess up the beard.
I have the sharpal 325 1200 ypu reviewed recently. Would that work, or should i get the 1k/ 6k you recommend?
Pet food is exactly why I need it to do bone. That bone & marrow is excellent for dogs.
i'm loving these diamond stone videos. i think i will be getting a sharpal 2x6 or 3x8 stone. they just seem unbeatable for now
thank you for the kind words! the sharpal that I have seems pretty nice and would be a good choice.
I do not prefer the interrupted surface diamond stones. I find that the "trash" diamonds tend to congregate around the edges of the plate, and the interrupted surface increases the number of edges exponentially. Still, for under a Jackson, that might be a good beater stone!
i was really surprised at how nice it was for the amount of money it cost!
Thanks Joe always love your channel I saw that at Home Depot have to buy one !
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! If you get one, I hope its as good as the one I have :}
Wow Joe that is a awesome price. Definitely gonna get one.
it seems like a heck of a value so far!
Joe, thank-you for this series. Always charmed. Appreciate you not taking the usual high-falutin approach most do. I love good things but sheesh, you could get X# of these Husky stones vs. DMT or Atoma ++. As you touch on, sure the feel might be a bit less but a good edge is a good edge at the end of the day. The durability will be the real outstanding question here. Does this go a reasonable distance or does it quickly die out and thus we're back to the classic false economy of buying cheap? Look forward to the next video and hope some day to experience the signature thinness behind the edge of your knives! :) Exchange rate for CAD currency is devastating right now...
thanks for watching! you know i have bought quite a few of the dmts, and if they were the stone that they used to be, i would still be buying them. but not everyone can or can justify affording that kind of money for a disposable stone. for folks that dont use diamonds all the time, so far this would be a nice stone. we will see more about it when I do the looks at the stone and scratch pattern under the microscope, and then the rope cut testing and see how it does :} and I hope to be making knives for a long time, so i hope to be here when you are ready for a knife :}
@@joecalton1449 Fair enough on the DMTs. You are in a unique position to comment on stones and sharpening; to say you've put the time in would be an understatement and it's what I suspect we all enjoy about having your voice here on RUclips. The context you give to (sadly) a change with DMT is just so right on. I have to wonder if it's the classic situation where a distinctive product and business is sold and the new owners bring short term thinking and a rush to reclaim their investment...all of which works to simply crater the business with cost saving corners being cut. As always, sppreciate your thoughts on sharpening and knives.
Happy weekend Joe!🎉🎉❤❤ thanks for the video!
happy weekend to you also erica! I hope your upcoming week is a good one :}
i bought one and used it on a thick 1970's german hunting knife that came with a false edge. hey it did fine to establish an edge a lot faster than i expected... great price at home depot on clearence... husky also has a lifetime warranty... great
that is good to hear that yours was a good one! they seem like a good value so far!
Excellent video! Just picked up a 3/4hp model. Excited to use it. Thank you!
sweet! I hope yours is as good to you as mine has been to me :}
Thanks Joe. Always looking forward to your next video
I appreciate the kind words and thanks for stopping by!
Call me paranoid but I use a wide putty knife with edge trailing strokes and slowly increasing the angle to break in my diamond plates. Looks like you have great control so you do you Joe. Not a fan of interrupted surface. I did like your confirmation of Alex's approval of the Sharpal, and may pick one up. I already have a full set of the Ultrasharp, which I'm very impressed with, but nothing to compare them to. Thanks for another great Joe production!
you are right in that a wider putty knife would probably be better, but that razor scraper was handy, so thats what I went for :} good to hear that you like the ultrasharps!
It would be nice if they did the dual side stones in one grit both sides for us that like a certain grit.
that would be very cool!
I don't like interrupted stones myself either for precisely that reason. I'm always catching on the holes. I'm sure it's just a way to cheap out on the diamonds. My worry about those stones that are metal on plastic is that they won't stay flat enough, that the plastic might bend and warp and be somewhat out of shape which does away with one of the big advantages of using diamonds in the first place.
that is possible that they could warp. I could check a couple of older interupted stones that i have for flat and see what they look like. i didnt check them when new, but it would maybe give an idea of if that happens alot or not
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Atoma, it's a classic. I chose the SharpAl, & really like it!
the atoma is number 10 i think. so another couple of weeks for that video. good to hear that you like the sharpal

thank you! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
I just ordered a cheap set from china, I already confident about how to break them in. Thx for this series.
you are welcome! I hope your set of stones work well for you!
How much did this stone cost 🇬🇧 ..Cheers
i think they are about $70 on amazon or so
@@joecalton1449 Thank you
I have the same system. Picked up a 400/1000 grit stone. Made a big difference
they seem pretty nice!
Woodash scratches the ectoskeletons of the little critters, so water evaporates through it and they ultimately dehydrate to death. Diatomaceous earth should work the same way though, but it doesn't work very well if it's wet. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any kind of wood should create ash, that is sharp enough to work.
that diatomaceous earth didnt work very well at all. it seemed pretty dry to the touch right out of the bag, I wonder if it wasnt dry though. the wood ash works really well and since I have a wood stove, I will always keep a couple of 5 gallon buckets full on hand now.
For predators, use your tightest chokes and lead #4 buckshot. I’ve had mixed results with lead BB and larger buckshot, but #4 buck in a 3” shell is unbeatable for calling in predators. I personally use XFull turkey chokes and can anchor a coyote out to 50 yards without question. Haven’t tried any further because I carry rifle and shotgun to my sets. If you are expecting raccoons, bobcat, or grey fox you can get by with lead BB. Coyotes seem to soak up lead BB and require another shot to anchor them. Thanks for the review! I’m looking for a quail gun and was understandably curious about this model.
thank you for that. I will take another look at the 4 buck. I have a box of it and will make up some loads and test them. this cz seems like a nice gun and is only getting better, if you get one I hope you get a good one.
Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine, USA Nice info. Love the face shave 😊 I got the smaller version of this after watching Outdoors55 Great value for my needs !
good to hear that you are liking the one you have! this one seems pretty nice so far!
Thanks for the awesome videos Joe!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the visit erica!
hey Joe! thanks for the reviewing and comparing different stones. i wonder if you are concerned with the flatness of the stones. the two sharpal 8x3 that i got were heavily dished on the fine side, and the steel plates were bowed so tbey didnt wirk for flattening the backs if woodworking tools or flattening the waterstones. do you think it is irrelevant for knife sharpening? if there is a valley in the center and the edges are sticking out the edge is only touching the very middle and the edge of the stone right?
i did not think to check this one or the other for flatness. I will take a look at them next time i work on them, thanks! for flattening waterstones i would much rather use an inexpensive diamond stone like the harbor freight hone block for around $10 as the flatness of the diamond stone is secondary to the method, if you are rotating your stones while surfacing them, then i think it evens everything out for the most part. i really dont know all that much about chisels so cant really comment on that. for knife sharpening, i think if its really flat then that is a good thing, but i have, and have seen lots of guys put some really nice edges on knives with stones that were badly dished and in serious need of flattening.
@ thanks! im my experience, if the corner is sticking out, it can scratch the wyer stone badly, and if the diamlnd plate is dished it only flattens the water stone roughly, maybe its fine for bigger knives but there will be bumps on the surface of the water stone if whatever you are flattening it with has bumps and valleys. also if the stone is bowed like my sharpals were, they will remove more material on either end of the stone so there will be a convex to the stone
@ another thing i was wonderin was why you did not include ultra sharp plates in your list. they seem to have been pretty popular around yourube a while ago. i liked them better than DMTs. and for the 6x2 small plates there are am tech brand and ab tools or BE tools whatever, they look just like eze-lap when you remove them from the plastic and they are ca 10-15 euro a piece or 30 for a set of 3 regards
Having had both Atoma plates and Venev resin bonded diamond whetstones, I wanted to try a DMT. Bought a DMT Fine (600). I guess I'll report back with my thoughts on it at some point. I would recommend looking into Columbia Gorge Stone Works.
My favorite is blue grease and mineral oil.
mineral oil is a great thing! I will have to look up blue grease
I have this stone. It's fantastic. I also have the Sharpal 6000 grit ceramic. Love it.
good to hear that you are enjoying those stones!
Yeah, I bought this one on Alex's recommendation as well. Couple of tiny chips on the edge where diamonds were missing, but the actual grit is hugely consistent. Very happy with mine. Been dying for your review.
good to hear that you like yours! it seems to be a great stone so far! I hope it works out as well as i think it will!
? Any consideration of CBN plates
i dont think so. this series already has 8 stones in it. while I would love to test out every stone out there, i think 8 of them should be a good selection.
I love your practical approach cause there’s a lot of types let alone brands thanks
I use their 325 grit credit card sharpener as my daily "field" sharpener, and it works great! I've been eyeballing this benchstone for a while. I'd love to know what your thoughts are on the 1200 grit side. Like you, I generally prefer a coarse, toothy edge, but on occasion, the task demands a more polished edge.
good to hear that you are liking the credit card one! ill have to play with that 1200 grit side for a bit to form an opinion on it.
Use some me sticky sand paper glued to the bottom of the case so it won’t slide around on the bench
thats a great idea!
Good video. That's the stone I use, for the price one of the best on my opinion.
thanks! i can see why you like it if it is similar to the one I have!
I knew you would love the sharpall
you were not wrong my friend!
Hey Joe, love this stone as well, the extra fine is amazing too. Also the nonslip side of the container case is supposed to go on a flat surface and the other is supposed to be where the stone is held so its elevated. Really liking this video series
I also like the extra fine side. I use mine predominantly on kitchen knives and often they'll need a quick touch up but won't need a reprofiling. A few strokes on each side on the extra-fine followed by a quick strop gets me right back to hair whittling sharp.
ill have to look at the container again. to tell the truth I usually just throw away whatever sort of holder that comes with stones and use a paper towel and a chunk of old 2x4. but that case is awefully nice :}
The sharpal was a game changer for me personally...Outdoors55 name is Alex btw
thanks, alex seems like a very cool guy!
Quality diamond plates are electroplated not adhesive sprayed on it to bond the diamonds. The diamonds are bound in the nickel layer during electroplating. Very poor quality diamond plates will have the diamonds out on the stone with adhesive and if that's the case that stone won't last at all.
im pretty sure 8000 DMTs are made using the adhesive because the diamonds are too small to stick out of the nickel plating layer
that electroplating sounds like it would be better!
Sharpal : NOT 20 $ any more !
no, I think this one was about $70. but ive been paying around $50 each for the dmt's and if this one lasts, then it will be a much better value
OUTDOORS55 is a great sharpening channel, Alex Garland is his name. Thanks for this video, I bought this stone but have not sharpened on it yet. I have been busy using the Hapstone RS right now.
Highly recommend anyone using diamond plates to read "The Diamond Plate Progression" on The Science of Sharp blog.
a little FYI, the non slip side goes on the bench, the top is made to hold the plate firmly.
This!
Yes. Glad you caught that.
thanks! to tell the truth, I usually just throw away any sort of cheesy holder that comes with stones and use a wet paper towel on a chunk of old 2x4 instead. but this case seems too nice to throw away :}
@@joecalton1449 that non slip rubber on the bottom is some sort of magic, i don't understand how but it's better than my expensive stone holder.
I haven't read or seen anything negative about that diamond stone. Must be pretty good
this one seems pretty nice!
@joecalton1449 yes sir. I agree 👍 💯
Do you strop or hone on anything after 325 grit diamonds? Curious I’ve been playing around with lower grit edges but I strop the edge and use a steel or ceramic hone in between sharpenings to touch an edge up
the only thing that touches the edge after my 325 grit stone is whatever i am cutting, and then i generally strop it once on each side on my jeans to clean it before I close the knife up and put it back in my pocket. if you strop it on a steel or ceramic rod then you will smooth out the teeth and lose agresssion for future cuts
Thanks for clarifying, I’m gonna play around with this. I don’t carry any fancy steels and I get them screaming sharp but edge don’t last long. You have made me rethink all I thought I knew. Haha
A friend you'd never met came over. Priceless.
