Here is an ad I am running at the local cinema that gives a bit of a look at some sharpening and a few shots of the workshop for anyone interested. Hopefully this can generate some after hours sharpening work for me.

Thanks for this video. Concise and easy to understand for a rookie like myself.
It's a shame such a helpful video only has 297 likes. I think you could get more views, in an honest way, by including #ASMR in your video description or using ASMR as one of the labels for this video.
Thank you for this video. Perfect. Just what I was looking for - straight to the point 👍👍
Excellent. Very sensible, as were your comments about smooth versus rough side of leather for application. Thank you
Thanks Michael. I appreciate the support.
Hey Phil.. I had a question. I don't want to purchase another tool for my shop. I like to keep the space. So do you think this would be a good substitute for not using a grinding wheel as you have? This is just for my own use.
Hi Vince. I am not quite sure what you are asking. I think the way that I have done this with the belt on the flat platten is as good or better than using a grinding wheel. If you have a belt grinder I would not buy another tool. The important thing is to make a little jig like I did. You could even make something similar over a wet stone.
@@philyorkknives6651 thanks Phil. I do have a really nice two by 72 belt grinder and I can sharpen any kind of knife extremely well after a couple years of practice. It looks like your jig I could do my lathe tools as well. That is great to hear. Definitely putting together a jig like yours
Awesome! Just what I was looking for. Thanks
I have all the Atomas and I really like the way they feel when cutting. I have a set of the PD Tools CBN stones that were a few dollars more in price. $65 vs $70. But the Atomas just give you more satisfaction in feel, grit marks, and seems faster too. Longevity? We shall see. The trick is use very little pressure.
Che legno posso usare al posto del balsa?
The type of wood is not important. It just needs to be flat.
Did you put the paste on fine side or rough side ? someone help .
I use the fine side for stropping knives. This type of stropping is the final process in sharpening or maintaining an edge. The fine side gives much better contact and is superior for this type of application.
Hi , great video. With average use, whats the lifespan of this brand of plate? Yours being around 5years now, what's your opinion and observations on it?
Thanks a lot for your explanation!
This video is amazing, thx you you explain everything.
Great video 👍 Thanks
These are definitely sharp, why would you need such a sharp axe ? All the axes I've used for splitting have been pretty blunt, is there a specific use ?
When splitting a sharp edge gives better initial bite. I agree that ultra sharp is not required for splitting but it is desirable for chopping.
Thank you! Very concise, complete, and easy to understand information. Best explanation I've seen.
I'm no cameraman but I think you have overexposed the lightning here.
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment David.
Bro nice 😩
Wat number grit you using in your sand Paper
04:35 grid let's start so this is 180 grit 04:40 sandpaper wet and dry sandpaper it's not 04:43 that important 04:43 I've been doing a little bit of research 04:45 before I did this people use all 04:47 different sorts of grits and let's give
Thanks alot it help me alot
The Best explanation thanks.
Thank you!
Greetings from Orange County, California. A little late to this party, but thanks for the video and the information. On another video a fellow showing how to strop a katana, but he didn't go into the whys and wherefores of stropping like this, which was just the additional information I was looking for. Cheers.
Thanks for the positive feedback Michael. Makes the whole process rewarding when I know it is helpful to people.
Spot on, Exactly the help I needed, Cheers mate.
Great video. Thank you.
Very useful. I've learned from you the difference between stropping and sharpening, how to make and use a strop and what to apply and how to the leather. Thanks!
Thank you. I learned making a strop isn't magic, to put the shiny side up, to drag backward rather than push the blade forward and to get diamond paste. If you had neglected to mention shiny side up I may have put the rough side up.
rare to find a video so plainly educational. Thank you so much for this video!
My thoughts!
Your observations here are almost exactly what l would have said about my own Atoma 400. Mine is nicely worn in now and almost as smooth to use as a coarse whetstone, but still cuts quickly and delivers extremely crisp bevels. I usually use it for those occasions where l have had to spend a long time on my 200 grit to make a completely new edge, and want to make sure the new bevel is very crisp and even before moving up to an intermediate stone. I've been enjoying your videos very much, btw.
Thanks David. I should pull my finger out and make a few more videos. It is nice to know people enjoy them.
Fantastic explanation, thanks!
Thank you Learned a lot. Had no idea what a stropping were!
Brute de forge kitchen knives? Hard to tell but if so that's awsome
Usually diamond plates should be used with low pressure. You push sharpen and use a lot of pressure. How has the plate held up? I know you can easily kill DMTs like this.
I didn’t keep the stone. As I said in the video I bought it for a chef friend of mine. I have not talked to him about it so unfortunately I am not sure how it has held up.
I allways use gloves with diamond stones, because otherwise i get micro Cuts in my hands, 😂 very good and aggressive stone to remove chips or set a good base bevel
Can you give some basic tips on how to maintain a strop and how you'd clean the old paste off
Once you apply a paste or lapping compound you cannot remove it completely, so make sure its the strop you want it on before using it. I usually have two seperate strops for this reason; one for polishing the edge with a compound and another for honing the edge without compound. Hope this helps!
I belive mineral oil helps clean it for when you want to reapply another layer of paste.. but you can never go back to pure leather.
how long does 1 syringe last for you?
stropping a couple of times per week, about a year.
What do you use for compound?
UreaSmith 3 micron Diamond Paste.
@@philyorkknives6651 Thanks
exactly what I needed to see....Pretty much what I was going to do but wasnt sure if that was right until I saw this,so thank you for the demonstration
No problem Leigh. I am glad someone is getting something out of it.
Hi, do you have any tips on testing the sharpness of your blade or knowing when it's sharp?
When u can’t cut ur arm hair
When you D O N T D I E
Sorry I missed your question from 2 years ago. I cut telephone book paper. Use the entire length of the blade when doing so. If you finish sharpening on a course stone (less than 1000 grit) your cut may feel snaggy. With finer finishing stones the paper should cut very easily and smoothly.
Why skin side up ? I thought it’s supposed to be flesh side up ? Thanks
for the much finer diamond pastes, the smoother the original surface the better. Because it is applied in such a thin layer (especially compared to the block format polishing compounds), the rough side just isn't ideal for this application. With the coarser compounds the rough side is fine since you can build it up. You can't build the diamond pastes up the same way, otherwise you wont get the same performance out of it.
thanks
Please do yourselves a favor and try to follow 2 thibgs when usong diamond pastes/sprays: you need to have very fine no grain types of leather and use quality preferably poly-diamond sprays or emulsions, the dia diamond is horrible stay away from dia diamond crap
Can you enlighten us further on your statements?
Can anyone tell me the micron progression. I have whetstone with the progression from 300 to 8000 grit. I'm have no idea on the diamond progression Thanks.
I know this is a bit late, however. www.techdiamondtools.com/shop/diamond-paste-compound-50-concentration-diamond-powders-h-of-10-grams-11/ A bit down the page there is a conversion chart
.5 after your 8k stone then .25.
Appreciate you taking the time for this. Very informational, sub’d.
Thank you for a very informative video ... just a quick perhaps somewhat a naive question since i'm not a knife enthusiast but is considering in buying a better knife in the $100 price range to replace my Walmart knife ...since i heard that proper knife sharpening requires a skill that needs to be developped over time or a good quality knife may remain dull, so i'm thinking i should go to a professional knife sharpener in the beginning ... with routing daily stropping for a minute of two, how long will the knife remain razor sharp for normal daily usage without any abuse on cutting hard items such as bones nuts?
MichaelMing thanks for your question. There are too many variables to give you a time period however if you strop once or twice a week your knife will stay sharp for a long time. My kitchen knives will get 4 to 5 months of daily use when stropped compared to about 1 month without stropping. I sharpen a lot and have demanding standards for sharpness so you may get longer. The takeout message is that stropping dramatically increases time between sharpening.
Thanks for taking the time to reply - i was wondering if you have a favorite kitchen knife or perhaps can recommend one?
MichaelMing Victorinox fibrox make a great budget knife that sharpen really well. Tojiro DP seem to be a good budget Japanese knife although I don’t have much experience with them. If you are willing to spend more money then the sky is the limit. Start looking at good knife retailers and reading reviews. If you can it is preferable to handle a knife to check the ergonomics before you buy. Another piece of good advice is to buy a few good knives rather than a big set of average ones. A chef knife and a paring knife is really all you need.
Thank you for the tip.
spatula = terrifyingly sharp
This helped me a lot! Cheers.
Jacob Brown thanks for the positive feedback
How to apply diamond paste on a leather strop with a spatula? ??He put some paste on a spatula ,smeared around leather ...and he made a film about it.
Yes Phil did. Where is your vid?
Why were you even watching this then?
CRITICAL COWARD
Good thing he made this video, too. Because if people think all there is to it is smearing paste on a strop, that's where they'd get themselves into trouble. In this video, he's very good about explaining the nuances that make the difference between creating an effective strop and making a useless piece of gunked-up leather.
Use mobile 10/30 synthetic oil, it's the best, not what this asshole is doing!
Atoma website says use some water with a drop of detergent. Youre doing it bone dry? Nutcase.
abadplanner1 you will find that diamond plates are used both ways wet and dry. The water is to keep swarf from clogging the stone. This takes a long time to happen on a course stone and can be fixed by running the stone under a tap.
