I just got that bucktool!

What angle do you usually sharpen restaurant knives?

Thanks for a really good detailed and descriptive video.

Great result, nice work.

Fine work, but I'm surprised... Isn't that about a $15.00 knife? Restaurant customers pay you to regrind each serration by hand? Impressive.

Right…. You clearly have zero fucking clue what a convex edge is… You are quite literally creating the opposite and putting a hollow ground edge on those scissors. Your sharpening is impressive but it’s not what you are pretending it is

Anyone watching this. Make sure you practice on some old knives first. It's not as easy as it looks and you will destroy your knife if you don't know what you are doing, or it's your first time. This guy has mastered his technique and you won't get the same outcome without practice. Sharpening knives is truly an art form.

Where did you get the leather wheel?

Thanks and please keep on posting

Why do you grind the back side before reshaping the scallops on the front side?

I see other ppl w the same machine have the edge up when sharpening..which is the correct method?

So interesting to me how the sharpening community goes about their trade so many different ways. Cool vid, liked.

Hi thank you for that tutorial, my question is how that other wheel works to do that work, have you tried that , what the wide of the other, I seen most of the knives has 1/4 in , to one pick to other , so in my opinion maybe 1/4 works better than other sizes, I hope you understand me .

Hello Al Have all the motors you run been converted to DC power or do they come already DC?

Nice job Al! I've had the diamond wheels for 2 years. I need to put everything together.

Keep on posting Al.. great vids and info..subcribed

Good stuff Al. Thank you!

Nice light touch, well done 👍

Thanks

so far I've had good luck with doing a 10 degree angle on convex shears, polishing and archone for the ridelines, no complaints so far nice cutting!

Very nice. I got the Ken Onion edition and it works fine. But next time I get a belt sander, I will get the 1x30.

Do you typically setup at other businesses parking lots and if so is there certain businesses that you find draws more customers to you? Also, have you ever setup in neighbourhood areas and draw customers in that way? Thanks

I learned a lot from this thank you 🙏🏼. I will definitely pull away at the end and that makes sense to not round off the tip.

What’s the make on the belt grinder

Good video, but I'm pretty sure you are supposed to be using the smooth side of the leather. That's how I use mine.

Great video! Just starting a sharpening business and looking at vehicles. Is that midroof in height ?

Outstanding job!

Excellent video. Where do you get your synthetic test hair?

So you prefer twice as sharp over the flat hone? Thinking of investing in one. Twice as sharp.

Sweet setup man, i really like the setup. something ill will ASAP is a bulkhead, i know its very convenient to just walk right in the back of the van but its very dangerous driving like that. there's a gate bulkhead if its a top priority :)

This seems incredibly labor intensive and annoying to do a batch of? Also, how long does these kinds of scissors last if one have to take off material this far up every time?

I just watched a couple vid on that sharpener. No platen or option for one. (They make claims as to why, and while not incorrect, a concave grind isn't what most want for a number of knives). Kind of a shyster move having a different belt size for the grinding attachment than the sharpener. And very inaccurate looking method of guiding the edge. I'm going 1x30 but flipping it so the work surface is horizontal with the blade spinning away from me. I'll build a few guide tables to keep the blade at an exact angle. No sense mincing around free-handing.

Great video! I’m swapping out my Ken Onion workforce belt sharpening tool for a 1 X 30 . One reason I don’t like the Ken Onion because there’s nothing behind the belt, so I can only get convex grinds.

I currently have a side business Sharpening knives. I am seriously considering getting a TAS with the amount of scissor requests I get. Did you get someone to show you how to sharpen the convex beauty sheer style ones or did you go through trial and error? Cheers.

Thank you for being so informative. Have you considered changing the direction of the spin, rotating upwards(counter clockwise) instead of downwards(Clockwise)? What are the benefits/negatives? Does the Rikon provide this option?

What compound was in that white pot for polishing?

Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and maybe getting a dialogue going.

Nice work. Thanks for posting…

Man, this is the best sharpening video I have ever watched. Congratulations from Brazil.

Great video. Congratulations

Your a good teacher

What flat home machine would you get if you went in that direction? Frank Sharp Solutions of Lakewood Ranch.

Great job. How does that belt sander track? Are you standing or sitting when sharpening? Have you always sharpened blade down? Thank you Frank

This is fascinating! If I ever manage to get a small sharpening business up and running like I hope too, I'd love to own a TAS machine. This has confirmed that! Can I be so bold as to make a request for future content? Can we get a look at your serrated knife sharpening technique? I have been really struggling to dial in a quick and effective serrated kitchen knife sharpening method. Thanks for putting this stuff out there!

Do you think a mobile sharpening business could be done not using belted sanders? I would like to used a machine like a TSPROF Kadet, or a Hapstone machine, getting away from using battery or gas powered belt machines. Thank you for your help. George

Thanks Al, this is very good information on this particular type or shears. Why do you use the "back" of the Kuromaku stones to hone/sharpen? 😎👍

Wow! Gotta say, that's some kind of impressive. 👌 I love how much the feel, feedback & sounds gets noticed when you sharpen. It reminds me of welding, oddly enough lol. That's a fantastic job & attention to detail! What does a service like that cost, if you don't mind? It hardly gets taken into consideration the talent, knowledge & supplies that go into a quality service like this. WTFG man! I'm jealous 🤫🤣 Cheers

Кошмар, разве на таких сумасшедших оборотах, по звуку 3000-3500об/мин, выполняют заточку какого-либо режущего инструмента?

So much great stuff here. Thanks for doing this, Al! You willing to provide more info on the nylon buffing wheel you use? I'm looking for that perfect thing to put on the currently empty side of my grinder (not low speed) opposite my leather wheel. Something that could handle most general buffing/polishing duties that come up in sharpening shop would be nice, and it sounds like you might be onto something here!
