- I'm talking about a knife sharpening system I've had for a long time. I've been meaning to make a video about it but never did until I saw the video by "beactivelife" ( / beactivelife ) and his new knife sharpener. His sharpener is more compact than my system is :-}
Excellent coverage on this knife set! I've had this exact knife set for years, but never knew what I was doing with it. Watching your video answered all of my questions and i've already sharpened 3. Eyeing my wife's Wustoffs!!
Glad I was able to help with this video 👍 Thanks for the kind comment 😉
I bought this system and used your video to get my pocket knives razor sharp. Finished them with a strop block. 😁
I'm glad that my video was helpful to you in getting your pocket knives sharp 😉 That was a good idea to use a strop block too 👍 Thanks for your kind comment and thanks for watching too 😉 Take Care 😊
Awesome videos. Thanks for showing me just how easy the system is to use. I've had it for a while now and never knew how to properly use it. I just sharpened my knife while watching your video and it's now RAZOR sharp. Thanks again.
Cool Sharpening setup, I really like how that guide works. Every time I try to sharpen my knifes by hand Im at the store for a new one...lol
To flatten the Arkansas stone get some glass and fine diamond grit, apply some oil to the diamond grit and smear some on the glass, rub your stone across it and it should flatten out after a while
Thank you, my name is Fawn, it’s nice to meet you 🙂
Your welcome 😉 Thanks for taking the time to comment Fawn and thanks for watching, stay safe out there 😊
SurviveN2 indeed kind Sir, likewise 🙂
They are great, I just love mine too. Thanks for watching Doc and also thanks for the kind comment my friend. Take Care :-))
Good observational skills Richard. Those bits are really great. I call them "Unibits"....I think that when they first came out onto the market that that was their name....LOL, and I've called them that ever since. I've got several of them, different sizes and step patterns. Thanks for watching and also thanks for taking the time to comment. Take Care my friend :-))
Good sharening systen Ray.
I still think you should strop your knives along the leather. That way you are taken away any small pices of metal at molecular level. You can't see that fine with a hand magnifier. That way your knife will be sharper and stay sharper for longer. I think! hope I'm right! Hi
All the best

I can get a hair shaving edge with just the yellow diamond stone. It's amazing.
Cool 👍
Nice ease of use sharpening system there D, plus a good example of feather sticking at the end to see performance of blade. Back at you again soon buddy. Cheers - Pete.
I think this is also a great option although like i said... I think lansky works best for me. As long you get a nice sharp edge right...
Thanks for watching, and also thanks for the kind comment Pete. That's a good sharpening system for dummies like me Pete....LOL. Like I said everyone shows knives cutting paper and how often do we need to cut paper in the bush ;-)) we just need them to cut wood...right ;-)) Take Care my friend :-))
I hear ya David, that's why I got this thing...I got tired of ruining my blades....LOL. Thanks for watching and also thanks for the kind comment my friend. Take Care :-))
I'm surprised you haven't noticed that my stove/fire testing area is a big slab of marble ;-)) On to a different subject.....for some reason YT seems to be flagging almost all your comments as "Spam" :-} I don't know you've made a comment unless I come back here and see it in the comments. Normally YT sends an email when I get a comment, I'm not sure why they would tag some of yours as spam, weird. Just thought I would let you know Richard. Take Care my friend :-))
Nice system you have there I like it alot. I use petrol to clean up old stones. I just throw them in a jug of fuel for 30mins and then rinse off.
Thanks for watching Paul and also thanks for the kind comment as usual. Take Care my friend :-))
You are terrific 🙏🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
That helps a bunch ;-)) I'll give that sandpaper a try, because I don't have any concrete around my place here except in the main street :-} Thanks for taking the time to comment, and also thanks for watching too ;-)) Take Care :-))
Thanks for watching and also thanks for the kind comment. I'll remember that tip, I would be leery of putting my tri-stone setup in some fuel for fear of the glue holding the stones on would let go...LOL. For the single stones that should work great tho. Take Care :-))
Thanks for watching and also thanks for the kind comment Cris. Take Care my friend :-))
what you can do for that stone that dished out on you is take it out in the concreat and flatten it back out just make sure its a finer mesh though or you can take like a 80 grit piece of sandpaper on a palm sander and do it like that just make sure to take it up to like at least 600 grit to take that really deep scratches out of it well i hope this helps you
well done, thank you
Thanks for the kind comment and thanks for watching too 😉 Take Care 😊
I hear ya about the freehand stones being only as good as the person working them, that's exactly why I got this system....LOL. I give credit where credit is due ;-)) Thanks for watching and also thanks for the kind comment. Take Care :-))
Cool....I'll remember that ;-)) Thanks for sharing that bit of info :-)) Thanks for watching and also thanks for taking the time to comment. Take Care :-))
cool set buddy thanks
Thanks for watching and also thanks for taking the time to comment Sandy. Take Care my friend :-))
I found several on Amazon Don. The newer ones are diamond stones and go for a little below $50. I hope this helps Don. Thanks for watching. Take Care :-))
Thanks for your kind comment, and also thanks for watching too ;-)) Take Care :-))

I’m just learning. I bought this system today and watching vids, everyone has their own way 2 use the system. The best vid I’ve seen is a guy saying 2 use a ‘W’ motion with your strokes pre the instructions. He said that he tested with different strokes because he wasn’t getting the edge that he wanted using strokes he use with stones. He said using the ‘W’ strokes certainly makes a difference. Is there any truth to this? I cant seem to get that razor edge that everyone keeps talking about.
LOL....like I said at the end of the video, I'm not concerned with the knife being able to cut paper in the woods, I want it to be able to cut wood. If I want to cut paper, I'll use scissors ;-)) Thanks for watching and also thanks for taking the time to comment. Take Care :-))
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion ;-)) Thanks for watching and also thanks for taking the time to comment. Take Care :-))
How about putting the wet/dry sand paper on a slab of marble? I think that will be flat enough for what I need ;-)) Thanks for the tip Richard, I'll give that a try when I get time to....LOL. Take Care my friend :-))
I’m a little confused. Everything I have read in sharpening has said you must have equal amount of strokes on each side to create an edge. How on earth cld you do that with the way he is sharpening? I bought this sharpener the other day bc I am having a hard time getting a burr on a wet stone. Even bought a ken onion work sharp and the same thing. I do not know what it is I’m missing here. But making sure you had equal strokes was paramount I had thought
I just happened to come back to these comments and found your comment about "it doesn't surprise you" tagged as spam again :-} Once I mark the comment as "Not Spam" they stay showing. I wounder if it's a particular device that your using (computer, phone or whatever) that's causing the problem. Take Care my friend :-))
Just work it over, back and forth and all around a bunch and watch it shine.
Thank you for sharing ! Also I love that background music before the police drowns it out 😆
No....Thank you Martha for taking the time to watch my video 😉 I also want to say thanks for the kind comment about the music 😊 Because of copyright issues I had to stop using the music. Take Care 😊
It's great for a dummy like me...that can't sharpen ;-)) Thanks for watching and also thanks for the kind comment Graham. Take Care my friend :-))
Great Demo my friend. Enjoy your feather sticks, they make the Day so much easier. Cheers ;-))
i would go for lansky
Thats a good bit of kit Dragon, very nice thanks for sharing it with us. :-)
Great video thank you very very professional and very informational and very easy to understand two thumbs up
+Chalie Drake
Thanks Charlie for your kind comments, and also thanks for watching too ;-)) Take Care :-))
+SurviveN2 Reply please, will this be able to sharpen a 7 inch blade ??
+Jared Tardiff Thanks for taking the time to comment Jared, and also thanks for watching too ;-)) I've never tried to sharpen a blade that big with this system, I usually sharpen my big blades by hand using "Wet Stones" ;-)) Take Care :-))
Nice system Dragon...Great vid on it!
I've never tried using a "W" pattern to sharpen with. I also haven't been able to get a razor sharp edge with this system. I use a ceramic "V" sharpener to get them to razor sharp for the final strokes. You can see the system in my "Sharpening System Bag" video. I hope this helps ya :-} Thanks for watching and also thanks for taking the time to comment. Take Care :-))
really really nice video!!! just fantastic Sir!!!
what is the price on this sharpener . and where can i get one thanks
Thanks for the video! I have had this set for a few years and my brother showed me how to use it but I forgot. This video was just what I needed. I do have a small eagle beak knife that needs to be sharpened. Any tips on what stone to use and for that tiny curved blade?
Thanks :)
Thanks for your kind comment Sara, and also thanks for watching too ;-)) The type of stone to use would depend on just how dull the blade is and how much metal you'll be needing to take off to start to get an edge back on it ;-)) I would not go straight to the course stone unless you really have to. I have ceramic rods and try to use them to put edges back on a dull knife before I resort to sharping stones. Usually the ceramic rods will do the trick, I think they are a Smith's product also. Search my videos for "Sharpening" and you'll find 4 other videos beside this one and you can see what I'm using. IMO.....The size and/or shape of a blade really doesn't govern what texture of stone to use, it's how dull the knife edge is that governs what texture of stone to use. I hope this helps with your questions. Take Care :-))
I have the same Smith's kits that you used in your video. Thank you for all the great information, you are appreciated!!
Thanks for the kind words ;-))
Thanks for the offer of help, I'll keep that in mind ;-)) I'll ck that link out when I get a chance :-)) Take Care :-))
I hear ya about the Burglar Richard ;-)) I don't even remember what I paid for this set, I've had it so long....LOL. Take Care :-))
have you had a problem with the gide rods being kind of wobbly even when tight?
Thanks for watching Jason and also thanks for taking the time to comment. I don't remember mine being wobbly when I used it, but to be honest it's been a long time since I've used it. I mostly use water stones now to do all my sharpening with now ;-)) Take Care :-))
+SurviveN2 k thank you ive been in contact with smith's and they are looking at fixing the pronlem. i only had the kit 2 days when i noticed it.
You assaulted that poor stick and they's comin to get you. 😁
Oh no 😳
Subscribed! Great video! Great music too!
+James Wright Thanks James, I appreciate the Sub :-)) I'm glad you liked everything. Take Care :-))
I know this is a older vid, but I'm trying to figure out exactly what model # that kit is that's used here. Thanks
Heck I do good to remember what day it is much less the model number for this.....LOL. Thanks for watching tho :-)) Take Care :-))

Ahhh....so your using your phone to make your comments with, have you ever made a few comments from a computer, if so...that explains why I got a few comments and not others. No need for you to be sorry, like you said it's a "YT" quirk, just be aware that no one probably sees your comments from the phone because YT tags them as spam. I've got a Samsung Galaxy Captive and love it, I'm using it to do my videos with ;-)) Take Care my friend :-))
