These sharpening videos are great. As someone that wants to learn how to sharpen, I really learn a lot. Plus they are relaxing to watch. Thank you Jerad for showing this on your channel. Great video once again!
i just sharpened my para 3, first i ruined the edge then i watched your video and brought it back. thanks for the helpful insight, really appreciate your contribution's to the community.
@@NeevesKnives I'm a butcher and I'm looking to purchase a new knife for opening the cryovac packages the meat comes in, have you got any suggestions? im tired of dulling my boning knives at work, I'm also trying to keep budget in mind. thanks
@@jasonanderson7020 your going to want something in a stainless steel, but still make sure to keep it clean and oiled, steels you wouldn't ever worry about would be lc200n or vanax, but I'd recommend something in 14c28n possibly from civivi, I'm not sure the size of blade your looking for but civivi has great quality also there blades in Nitro v would work well, or even the civivi pintail in s35vn, the civivi brazen drop point in 14c28n, the civivi riffle in 14c28n, you can also get the civivi elementum in s35vn, that model also comes in d2 if your really on a tight budget but make sure it's coated as d2 is not stainless. Check some of those models out the pintail and elementum are small to medium size the other 2 are full size
This was one of the best normal day to day person sharpening videos on the tubes..not that your skills are day to day but as far as making it easy to understand..great job man
I appreciate the time and patience that it takes to teach some people can teach some people can't but really GOOD video and THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR HELP IS WORKING. HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GO TO PATREON SOONER THAN LATER IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN....
Well done man. I use to use the Norton tri system but took way to long. We process beef during winter and doing 20 knives every 2 days on wet stones take to long. I got the Ken onion work sharp and love it. Use 3-4 different belts and then leather at the end works fantastic.
It really does! And it can help with the last stone esp making sure your angle and bevel is perfectly flat, its great to use it through all the stones but it can be hard on the finger if you apply to much pressure
Good video bro. I like watching your sharpening videos. I've gotten much better at freehand because of you. I bought a Falkniven DC4 to throw in my camping pack for field sharpening. I'm not thrilled with the Worksharp field sharpener because of the angle guides get in my way. The actual stones are fine, but I lose some of the already short surface when I'm not doing a 20 degree edge. Tried it out on my 52100 steel Manix today..I was impressed. It raised a burr pretty quick and did a very nice kind of toothy edge on the Manix very quick. It's got me thinking of buying the full size bench stone..like I really need more stones, lol.
I’ve worn my Para 2 down to a straight blade. My wife has always said my grip and strength is unknown only to me.. I guess I’ve been using the diamond stones too hard 🤷🏼♂️. I’m going to try ceramics seeing as how they can take the pressure. Today however, I learned a lot by grinding the entire edge 90° I learned what I was doing wrong with my comfortable grinding motion, and I wasn’t getting the heel very well. My pressure on the heel was too light; I was putting too much pressure on the middle of the blade and not rotating the tip well, And.... I’ve also learned I’ve been using way too much pressure obviously 😅
How do you like the spy27? I have this same knife and I like it. To me it seems like s30v on steroids. The only thing that passed me off about this knife was the clip. The clip was actually fine, I just didn't think it was tight enough. So I got a titanium lynch clip and swapped it. Once I got it on it wouldn't tighten down all the way. Now it just spins and spins, i can't back the screw out either.
Great videos, any chance you can do some tips and tricks for fixed angle systems? Kme/Worksharp? What stones you recommend? Strop after? Strop only? THX!
Absolutely, i do have a few videos on different systems like the worksharp but i do have more coming up, ive got some videos on stones and strops but i do need to do some updated ones, thank you bud
Really good video. Always like seeing you sharpen. Was that steel harder or easier to sharpen say versus M390? Know you were going fast to make the video in right around 20 minutes. How long would you have normally spent doing that steel??
On diamonds imo opinion most steels are about the same effort, maybe a few minutes longer or shorter, but the diamonds cut m390 just as easy as s35vn, but id say a bit faster than m390, imo it kind of felt like s30v or d2 as for sharpening
I really like your videos!!! Quick question, do you let your finger ride on the stone or just above it. It looks to me that you would sand down your fingertip over time.
You do if you put lots of pressure you barely let them tou ch almost floating, that way you know when you put pressure your changing angle, if your not touching then your lifting angle, but it does take some getting used to but you can swap between your middle and pointer not to make them to rough, or just use it as a starting point every time, that way you know your atleast starting off with the same angle every swipe
Awesome vid, very relaxing and you kind of just sink into the sharpening, I almost feel asleep while watching. Do you keep the same angle on hollow and flat grinds? Or do you go with the angle from the factory?
I almost always change the angle unless its not a good idea, between flat and hollow i like to do around a 17° angle sometimes on flat grinds if their geometry is not good meaning they get super thick quick then i might not and just do 20° just because it might look ridiculous even though it would cut so much better
@@NeevesKnives thanks for the info. Really appreciate the advice I usually try to keep factory but I have some hollow ones that I think would benefit from a higher angle. Thanks again.
What do you do if you find some inclusions on the edge after you sharpen? The blade still cuts paper fine so do you worry about it or do something about it?
@@NeevesKnives Thankyou for your advice. I'm using the Percision Sharpener from WorkSharp I will use the knife as normal not heavy duty. It was only $120 ish so... I love watching you sharpen. It looks so therapeutic and relaxing. Thanks again for your reply and from Canada...stay safe.
Hey man I got a quick question for you, and if anyone else is reading and wants to chime in feel free! I’ve been sharpening my knives for a few months now and I’m looking into getting a better strop. Is there a specific strop and compound you would recommend?
I started with white and greem the kind that usually comes with strops, in the description i have a sample packet of diamond paste which i highly reccomend, diamond sprays are probably the best, and for compounds venev diamond compound is the best imo, but white stropping compound is really good that comes with many strops
Ive done videos showing how to hit the tip, one i think was marrying the edges and possibly a hard to hit areas or something, but you want too put your finger on the tip so that you can drive the tip into the stone
These sharpening videos are great. As someone that wants to learn how to sharpen, I really learn a lot. Plus they are relaxing to watch. Thank you Jerad for showing this on your channel. Great video once again!
Yeah i sometimes use them to fall asleep to 😆
@@NeevesKnives I actually do too sometimes. lol They are just so damn relaxing.

That's awesome, I have a step by step video that also might help out a bit more

If your interested watch my step by step video it breaks everything down very simple i think its far better than this one
Makes it look so easy, lol. I'm over here punching the air 😂😂
😆
Me too. Don’t feel bad. We’re in the same boat! 🤣
Big asmr tingles on these sharpening vids. Very relaxing.
Ya like that
Awesome video!!! The edge bevel is so consistent and clean!!
I appreciate the time and patience that it takes to teach some people can teach some people can't but really GOOD video and THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR HELP IS WORKING.
HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GO TO PATREON SOONER THAN LATER IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN....
Thanks James
Another great sharpening vid. The edge looks great! ✌️
Thanks Russ

Nice! Yeah its awesome theres so many systems because you definitely need to use but best fits you
Killer vid bro. Btw I never told ya thanks for the quick tutorial ya gave me on the last live vid i watched..so thanks man I really appreciated it.
👊
Great video. Wish I knew that marking the finger trick when I started sharpening,would have made getting a hang of it a lot easier & faster.
It really does! And it can help with the last stone esp making sure your angle and bevel is perfectly flat, its great to use it through all the stones but it can be hard on the finger if you apply to much pressure

Work sharp has a diamond bench stone but plates an a clamp are better,

Yeah pressure usually just leads to issues, and the diamonds cut pretty much just as fast as sometimes even faster with little pressure

@@NeevesKnives thanks for the info. Really appreciate the advice I usually try to keep factory but I have some hollow ones that I think would benefit from a higher angle. Thanks again.
Do you ever add water to the stone?
You can add water it will make them last a lot longer, i use them dry and just wipe the dust off as i go
What do you do if you find some inclusions on the edge after you sharpen? The blade still cuts paper fine so do you worry about it or do something about it?
You dont have to but you probably wont get the best edge retention from fatigued steel, but id just use it until it needs another sharpening

@@NeevesKnives alright, thanks man!
Couple more sharpenings on those stones and you won’t have to sharpen that blade anymore
I always mess up at the tip.

@@NeevesKnives Thanks! I will watch it. I love your channel because you always take time to answer and help your subscribers.
Jerad do you use Discord?
No i was going g to until some people i know had theres hacked
