I'm astonished to see what some people accept as "mirror finish". I'm watching these polishing videos, because I struggle to find out when to move on from one grit to the next. But when I see the result, mine is not so far off. However, I'm trying to get a real mirror and I guess I just have to keep trying and maybe going up to the higher 1000s in grit.
I think your commentary is very well executed with good info . I think the end result is very good . I tend to use the kitchen roll (Blitz ) folded a few times as a sort of finishing strop which gives a micro convex bevel, mostly for convenience and time . Having said that when i can, i use this method regular to keep my blade in good order , i keep a kitchen roll as a handkerchief in my pocket at all times as a do it all item .
It was good to see your process for polishing and reprofiling a knife. I have a few knives that have scars from when I attempted to sharpen them as a kid that I would like to sort out.
I tried doing this with my diamond coated sharpening plates but it didn't work at all on my KL73 army knife. Looks like ive only made it worse Any tips?
Aloha from Maui Luke! I am currently resurfacing an ancient rusted out deer horn handle hunting knife that quite possibly could have been lost or discarded by Nathanial Boone or even...David Bowie!! Really enjoy your quazi-cultured British accent and your irreverent cavalier approach to knife refinishing. Well Done!!
That came out beautiful!!! That's proof that you can fix and sharpen your knife without spending hundreds of dollars on tools and jigs. Awesome video!! Thank you!! From 🇺🇲

That's beautiful!! If You add little soap to the water used with "wet and dry sandpaper" it functions even better.
Excellent advice!
This has supercharged my resurfacing efforts!

Nice video. Great commentary and content. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit, upload and share.
The previous owner hated the knife deeply.

Shiny and sharp! Nice job, never thought of using a piece of wood instead of leather.
This is really cool. Love SAK and love customs.
Good video, music unnecessary.
Sweet if got a sguff on my boker stag hunting bowie knife I was sick I may have a go at it
Great tutorial, thanks 👍
Exelente maese, muy buena solucion a los rayones en nuestras hojas, de verdad te felicito , saludos desde Chile👍
very informative already !!!
Anyone who collects these types of knives need to watch this. Great job!
Don't fix the scratch, just keep using the knife. It'll last longer that way. Unless ur selling it of course.
Man that's some mean epoxy Magic.
The Waiter is one of my favorite minimalist models. Thanks again for the opportunity!

Hmm .....victorinox garati
You just sanded it without lubricant?
No need for lubricant! Just makes it messy!
Great work !
👍👍
Beautiful, I love the design. I can really tell a lot of thought and effort has been put into the making and design.
This is the exact video I needed as I've recently picked up an old pocket knife that has a blade in similar state to yours 😊
I just bought two Victorinox Executives on eBay.
I will try this sharpening method first.
