      He's really not. This is so bad it's laughable. I have a few ESEE's and it's incredibly easy to be a shaving edge on it in 20% of the time he did. He seems to be having trouble with a very easy steel to work with.

    Jef good video. I have an Izula2 and really like it. A lot of knife companies don’t make a sharpening choil deep enough it seems like a common theme unfortunately. The edge turned out really crispy 🔥. Thanks for sharing brother 👊

    • @Jef
      @Jef  2 года назад +1

      If you say so :p
      I'm not a big fan of it. Most never heat treat it properly, so it gets gummy. Forming a truly crisp apex, along with burr removal, can be a real pain in the ass.
      Convexing em usually has amazing results. I will say for outdoor use, it's a hard steel to beat.

    I have a Smiths Tri Hone sharpening set up but can’t seem to get a razors edge on my Izula 2. I’m guessing it’s me/operator error but any ideas/tips would be great. I started with the coarse stone and proceeded to medium then fine but just can’t get the blade sharp enough to shave hair.

  • @paulbrown6338
    @paulbrown6338 Год назад +1

    Once you get to that point can the knife be maintained by just stropping?

    • @Jef
      @Jef  Год назад

      As long as the edge doesnt take damage. Chips, and dings, require grinding, to fix. If you just roll the edge, or dull it through use, then a strop is a fantastic way to keep it sharp. There are diminishing returns however. After stropping over and over, the apex will eventually start to fatten up. It will again require stones, to reset

    @Jmon808 2 года назад +1

    Hey I’m just starting out practicing hand sharpening on whetstones. How many knives until you got consistent holding your angle? Would you say knives or just time like a few months ?

    • @Jef
      @Jef  2 года назад +2

      It's just time and practice. Holding the angle isn't as important as you may think. Watch my video on 'how to hold consistency' to understand. Regardless, as you practice and get better, it just happens. You may not even be conscience when it occurs, but it will happen, and things will just click for you.
      Even after this happened, for me, I still had days, where things fell apart, and I just couldn't get it. There is no substitute, for experience, unfortunately. So grab some knives, sot aside some time, and just go at it.

    • @Jef
      @Jef  Год назад

      Sharpie can help. Do you know this trick? Take a sharpie marker, color the bevel, then make your pass across the stone. The goal is to remove the marker entirely; that is your angle. You can do this as many times as needed, to dial in, where to hold the angle. Freehand is not exact, so you won’t hit it properly every single time, but it helps you figure out, where to hold.
