- Ive been asked many times to film a proper video on hook knife sharpening so I decided to put together a short video for my followers and subscribers. In this video, I show how I use my Sharpening Sticks to maintain a hook knife (link to purchase is below👇👇👇). This is the most important step you can take toward achieving the smoothest knife finish on the bowl of your spoons. I hope you amazing ladies and gents find it useful in your own knife maintenance routine.

You're the best!
I gotchu buddy 🙂
What about hooks that aren't hollow ground- no "trams or rails"?? Video for that would be awesome.
Despite the popular opinion of so many other spoon carvers- I sharpen these exactly the same as my hooks that are fullered (tram lines)
I kind of thought so, I just wasn't sure. Most people work the outside more if it isn't hollow ground. I will keep experimenting. Your method seems to work. Maybe I'll make a video of doing it to a knife without trams.
I actually uploaded a reel to my Instagram @srhearn0908 yesterday showing the results of sharpening both flat and fullered hooks on the inside. Check it out if you get a minute.

Welcome to the club, Chandlor!
hes back!
🤘
Thank you Sean for the good work you're showing us sir. Kindly would let us know what vise do you use as it seems perfect for sharpening the spoon hook knives. Thanks again.
You’re very welcome! It’s called a Stanley Quick Vise
I love that Hollow grind on your hook.. What a beauty... Where can I get one?
This hook is called The Mellow and is forged by Matt White. His tools are in a preorder basis and I’m not sure which models he has in his upcoming rotation. Here’s a link to his website:

Nice sløjd-poster, just lacking the ø:D
That's my biggest problem is trying to hold the tool or sharpener level and even.
The 3 blades in the spoon carving set are brand new. The knives, axes, chisels, machetes, etc. are second hand except the one machete which is new but unfinished. It's a beast. I'd like to get them sharpened so they're safer. No shop. Have second hand stones and pucks. Indian Oil stone needs cleaning & refurbishing(?) to get odd slick sheen off it. One new wet stone from asian store.
No way to clamp down vice yet. Been watching bushcrafting videos to get general ideas and safety. New at this.
I’ve been looking at pattern maker’s buses lately. They’re designed to hold awkwardly shaped objects so I can imagine they’d be amazing as a work holding to sharpen with
Great work! I am wondering, do you lay the sharpening sticks totally flat to the blade or with a little bit angle if it’s one sided bevel?
Good question! I lay them completely flat and make three motions all at once:
1- twisting between my fingers and my thumb through each pass
2-moving all the way from handle to tip (and in some cases all the way from tip to handle)
3-as I make each pass, the sharpening sticks move slightly from spine to cutting edge as well. If you were to just move the stick straight up and down the blade, it would cut the paper. This also helps the burr raise.
@@HuronSpoonCo Thanks a lot!
You’re very welcome!☺️
Hello! What is that AWESOME yellow clamp on your workbench called, and where can I get one? Thankyou for the sharpening tips!
It’s called a Stanley Quick Vise and here’s a link to an Amazon store where you can buy one:
Stanley 0-83-179 Quick Vice, 9.44" www.amazon.com/dp/B00F2J94QA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_H24PJPPHF8BB40YDYFR7
HuronSpoonCo Thankyou!
You’re quite welcome!🙂
what compound are you using on your strops?
I’ve used many in the past- Dialux, Tormek, Flexcut- but lately I’ve been using Veritas honing compound
It looks like your spoon knife has a hollow grind in the middle. So you are sharpening the edges. Would your method work on a Mora spoon knife? I believe it is flat on the inside and has a bevel on the outside. Thanks it looks easy when you do it.
The Mora 164 is designed to be sharpened on the outside bevel. That being said, I’ve always done the opposite and have never had an issue. I sharpen all my hooks the same despite popular opinion
@@HuronSpoonCo Thanks, your way looks really simple. Wrap a dowel rod with sandpaper and put on a couple of O rings. Do you think there is an advantage to slicing down the dowel to put the edge of the sandpaper in before rolling it?
I don’t see it being necessary, personally. Just wrap the paper tight and you won’t have any problem
@@HuronSpoonCo ok Thanks for the reply.
You’re very welcome!
Are you holding the sanding stick straight against the blade or on a slight angle? It looks like you are holding it straight but i just want to check. I have the Mora hook knife
It’s held dead flat across the inside of the hook and uses with a twisting motion while moving from spine to cutting edge
@@HuronSpoonCo Cool thanks helpful to know. Do you need to apply much pressure?
Not really. I apply moderate pressure and let the abrasive do all the work. I’ve found that applying too much pressure actually causes deeper scratch patterns, which make each grit take longer
Hi Sean, we're do you get the "sharpning sticks" please?
Hi Marc! I make and sell them on Etsy actually. You can either purchase them from my Etsy shop (link below) or reach out to my on Facebook or Instagram and I’ll send you my PayPal info
@@HuronSpoonCo Sean are they a "name" they go by?
As can't find them using "sharpening sticks"...

@@HuronSpoonCo no problem, thsnk you 😊..
@@marckelly3573 you’re very welcome.
It didn’t work on my mora 164 lol
Really? I’ve yet to have it not work on any hook knife, including the Mora 164 (new version) and the Mora 165 (new version)
What kind of hook knife is that?
It’s the Mellow, forged by Matt White of TempleMtnWoodcraft
How to sharp a robin wood hook knife please
