I don’t get all the hate and trash talk here 😂 this is a pretty creative diy for folks that can’t free hand! And definitely cheaper than other pre-made rigs. Would take a little time to make it but looks like it works well!
Great jig for sharpening some knife profiles. Great concept and well thought out. Dont pay attention to the Trolls who think they can do it better . Most can’t.
Good idea . I may take this design and put my own spin on it for some of my irregular blades that dont fit my sharpner jig clamps . Thanks for this :-)
A truly sharp knife possesses only three surfaces, while a dull knife exhibits four. The sharpening process effectively restores the blade to its optimal state of three surfaces. I must commend the sharpening system you employ, as it appears to be quite effective, albeit somewhat laborious. In contrast, my own sharpening technique utilizes stationary honing surfaces in conjunction with a movable blade. Even the dullest knife can be revitalized by commencing with a 250-grit diamond plate to establish the desired edge profile. Subsequently, four additional diamond plates are employed (in order), followed by a flat of compound impregnated leather (50,000 grit), and a flat of plain leather. This rigorous process culminates in knives that exhibit exceptional sharpness, requiring minimal effort to slice. Furthermore, the sharpening angle is remarkably straightforward to master. 🙃

@@DrewJacobson61 The servers are back online. How old is dirt? The concept of dirt's age is multifaceted and encompasses various considerations. Recently formed soil, commonly referred to as dirt, originates from the composting of organic matter, a technique frequently employed by horticulturists to enhance soil quality. Earthworms, for instance, possess the ability to generate new soil within a relatively short timeframe, typically measured in days. Moreover, the Earth undergoes continuous geological transformations, leading to the emergence of novel geological formations. Volcanic eruptions result in the production of fresh lava, which subsequently solidifies into rock, thereby forming the most recent landforms. Processes such as erosion and weathering contribute to the breakdown of existing rock into smaller particles, which, when combined with organic matter, constitute the foundation of soil. Consequently, the formation of "dirt" is an ongoing process driven by these natural phenomena. 😎 ZXLMaster
So this is a great DIY sharpener and I do respect that. However since there are multiple different angles for different knives. I would make a slot instead of a single hole. Where it would be adjustable to different angles. Also with the clamp/hinges on top. Maybe a little better to get something smooth and grips. Maybe something nylon. Like soft grips for a vice. Just so the blade isn’t getting scratches. My Benchmade for example has a coating on the blade. Just some feedback to make it a little better.
I just bought a lawnmower blade sharpener, one of the diamond sharpeners, and eyeball the angle. Medium pressure on both sides with a light pressure to remove the edge burr as a final pass. It's quick, and with repeated use the knife retains the angle of the sharpening grooves on the cutting edge. If further honing is required, a ceramic rod or the underside of a ceramic coffee mug will do the trick. The unglazed ring on the base of the coffee mug is equivalent to a ceramic rod. And, as pretty much everyone has some, is cheaper than buying a ceramic rod.
@@alanrobinson4318 yeah, the one we had at the shop used sandpaper about a inch wide. Lay your lawn mower blade down and only 3 swipes on each side and you're done. Lot better than the other way of using a hand grinder
@@josephphelps5696 The sharpener I use is a small diamond sharpener. It's easy, with multiple strokes, to work your way evenly along a chefs knife while maintaining angle. Using a medium pressure with the light pressure on the last pass. I picked it up in the garden department at a Lowes for cheap. While I get a razor edge with a diamond stone and oil, this hand held sharpener really comes close, and is so fast it's very convenient. Having gone to cooking school, this piece of equipment is real handy for those house knives that are in abysmal shape from lack of attention.
@@dgtv71 How do you figure that? See how long the board is, that's the length of the knife that can be sharpened, make a longer one if needed, you might have to add another hinge is about it
And how do you sharpen a knife with a point? A pocket knife? A pearing knife? A karambit? This is a n nice idea, but has a long way to go before u can sharpen "any knife"
@tipsintelligent2605 for us? For us what? What the hell does that answer mean? Am I just not smart enough to understand what u mean? Does It only work for you and no one else? 🤔 Well, that's kinda messed up don't you think? You're not racist are you? Lol
My technique is a little different. I gather all the blades I need sharpened and organize them by size. Then I drive them to a shop at Main and 17th, and drink coffee while a nice old guy sharps the blades.
This is an easy and relatively inexpensive method using regularly available hardware store items and would seem to work for most fixed angle sharpening needs. It's probably better than removing too much metal using a basic pull through Sharpener.
Wonder what the Angle measurement is he took off the block of wood to fasten the hinges to hold the knife in place? Also , the angle of the side hinges for the pvc roller? Will this tool work on any size and shape of knife?
I was trained to sharpen a straight blade knife to cut home made bread! No more than 1/2 inch thick. 1/4 in. then you know your blade is sharper . & no it’s not frozen bread!
Bro, this is great for someone that only needs to keep one or two knives sharp, I would think tweaking those screws would allow for some width adjustment too. I personally don’t need something like this but I know quite a few that would be very happy with such a cheap set up.
I love watching these videos. Not because I get anything useful out of them. Because it's funny to see what these people come up with. Btw, I can sharpen most knives in under a minute
Awesome. This is cheaper and more fun than a spyder sharpen system and I’ll use it for axe heads or big yard knives. A pinched blade and two oppositely mounted sticks of sharpening material is still supreme. This is still great and will always work
30 seconds knife. A minute if it is extremely dull. That's how long it takes me to sharpen freehand. So I can sharpen between 8 and 16 knives within this 8 minute video😂
So you need 3 hinges? A block of wood, a stick, a tube... handful of screws... and THEN the whetstone? My gpa could spit on the whetstone and have it sharp in 20-30sec. It takes me 1-2min
Way too much background noise. I listened for about 10 minutes. Then I just cut it off. Come back a little later and lift this comment.Please cut down on the background.Noise the next video you put out
@@shikutoai belt sanders are literally used when making knives. As long as you don't get the edge hit enough to ruin the heat treat you won't have any issues.

Do this work on knifes with curved blades?

Of course not!😂
By the time ya done all that i had my knife sharp enough to shave with
if you can build this you have enough dexterity to sharpen by hand 😉
Has to be the slowest possible method. Interesting though
Smart choice to pick a knife with a straight edge. In any case, calling this "the easiest" verges on the insane.
ok
@@gdevelek he said fastest
@@driftydoristv Yes indeed, but the remark stands.
Why don’t you just use a whetstone? Sooo much easier.

Learning to use whet stones is faster than that.
Some of us have the ability to hold the correct angle and get razor-sharp knives. This contraption only works on a knife like the one in the video.
ok man
Jeez, how long is this quick method going to take? 😂
thanks 5m
This is a very good video! These clowns that say they are shapened free hand are crazy, mind you this woulden work on curved edge blade.

Inventive. Maybe I may try something similar for self satisfaction. But honestly, what for?!

Polishing compound.
Nice, but only works for that exact size blade.
30 seconds knife. A minute if it is extremely dull. That's how long it takes me to sharpen freehand. So I can sharpen between 8 and 16 knives within this 8 minute video😂

When I want to test how blunt a knife is I test it on my wrist or neck, it's more accurate that way.
I'll stick to the old method. Eyeball it.
"Fastest"😊
Too much work. Buy a sharpener
Fast?
I had my dull knife razor sharp before you had your rig 1/4 built. Doesn't seem fast to me.

Initially you tested on your hand before sharpening, but you didn't test on your hand again after sharpening

Seems like he might be a good bit smarter than you
That’s the way test it on your hand 😂😂😂

I’m pretty sure that’s not the ‘fastest’ way.
