THE ULTIMATE KNIFE SHARPENER! THE WORKSHARP KEN ONION EDITION BLADE GRINDING ATTACHMENT.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The Worksharp Blade Grinding Attachment has a 4.6 star review on Amazon for a reason. It has 5 professional grade belts for sharpening and stropping your knives and it spins at a speed that won't heat up and damage your blade. You simply dial in the angle that you want to sharpen and move the blade across at a 1 inch per second pace. I've found that I can sharpen and maintain most of my knives in about 3 minutes, which is very fast. The results in the video speak for how well this works. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll put a link to the knife sharpeners below, so you can see the ratings and specifications.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Is it a big deal to you to have sharp knives? Do you sharpen them yourself or take them to a professional? If you sharpen them, what method do you use?
CC4 fallkniven stone. Works great and very portable pocket stone. Comes in a leather case and makes a great strop.
Thanks, I'll have to check it out.
markthomasbuilder I have the work sharp. I also have a few stones and ceramics. This attachment looks awesome. Thank you!
I've had mine Ken Onion for two years now, never a dull knife. And yes I tell the wife when sharpen. You can buy non-onion belts online and they work perfect. Mine had a trigger lock for speed. Always start with course then go up in grit, you have to built that 25 degree angle first..
I have the work sharp guided sharpening system absolutely love it
I have been sharpening knives for 50 years with stones. I even have over6 stones from 320 to 15000 grit. But this attachment has cut my time to sharpen drastically. Keeping a constant angle was a problem with stones. Not so with the grinder plus you can see the bur form. Outstanding product!!!!
That's cool and I'm glad to hear how well it works. I like how fast it sharpens too.
When you start to sharpen your knives with a course belt, use high speed to get the edge profile. As you progress to the fine or stropping belt use a progressively slower speed as per instructions. I've owned the same sharpening kit like yours for about 4 years now with hundreds of knives sharpened to razor sharpness. Love doing the high end knives as they'll get scary sharp. Enjoy!
Thanks for the tips, I'll give it a try!
I use mine the opposite way, start slow and then faster per higher grit belt. Feel the burr at the egde before you change the belt. I highly recomnet the leatherbelt on the grinder. You can find it at eBay.
My theory is that a faster belt speed may heat the blade and loose some of its hardness. Thoughts?
@@carltonbauer2779 I’ve decreased the belt speed a little. No need to prematurely wear out the belts or grind away any more steel than is necessary to sharpen the blade.
Hiw about the heat on the blade?
I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.
I'm disabled from a stroke. This looks like what i need! Thanks
Sorry to hear that. As far as the sharpener goes, it's a handy tool. I highly recommend it.
I’ve gotten the sharpest edges ever with the grinder attachment. Just make sure to remove the burr fully by checking with a flashlight. If you don’t have a strop I’d consider getting one. If you have any questions I’d be honored to help. I’ll say a prayer that you can continue to recover from your stroke. God bless you. Have a great day and happy Easter.
I have the Ken Onion, Dia-Sharp diamond, Spydeco Sharpmaker, several other products. The 3 listed are my favorite. I also have a 1"x30" HF sander with belts and compounds. I make my own strops. Leather from Tandy.
I have a leather strop that I like to use to put the finishing touches on my knives. I believe it's full grain leather.
Neat
I was considering buying one so I was looking for advice and this video was perfect! Thank you!
Thanks Aaron, glad you found this helpful.
Awesome, thanks! I just bought one with tool attachement and am using the KOBALT 12" Tool bag. Everything fits perfect!
Awesome, it's nice having it all stored away together so you can quickly set it up when needed.
I bought one with the attachment. I also used it to sharpen some old scissors and even a box cutter (to get some additional miles out of it).
I just used it the other day for a knife at work, very quick and easy to use.. I was getting tired of cutting lemons with a dull knife. I've been hooked on iced tea lately with a lemon slice.
Impressive. Need to look into getting this. Anything Ken Onion does in knife world gets my attention; I have a couple of his ZT400ST's.
It a great sharpener. Easy to learn and sharpen knives with. I'm thinking about getting a ZT 0562.
Bought Ken onion sharpener couple weeks ago have not used it ordered the grinder attachment tonight be here wed then I will sharpen some knives
2 yrs old vid. I'm wondering if it still works?
Works great still. I probably need to order some new replacement belts, just to get the most out of it.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thank you, glad to see it is a durable tool!
when you sharpen your blades make sure to not turn the blade as you near the tip, you should just be slightly raising the handle. If you continue to sharpen this way you will weaken and round your tip. Otherwise very informative video, It's def a great buy!
Thanks for the tip!
Because of your review I ordered this kit. I am so excited!
That's awesome! I'd use a beater knife at first to get the feel for it and then move on to your good knives. I cut lemons daily for my iced tea and it great having a nice sharp knife all the time. Let me know how it goes...
Dont sharpen at too shallow of an angle! Ive made that mistake with this setup.
Thank you Mark for this demo. I already have the sharpener, but not the attachment. I am gonna try to make one with my 3d printer.
Interesting, let me know how it works out. 3d sounds like a cool way of doing things.
Yeah, I just bought 2 brand new Opinels and scratched the sides of them on the original Ken Onion work sharp attachment 🤬😡. I definitely need this blade grinding attachment for it.
I only use the blade grinding attachment now. It's fast and efficient.
I just one this week, Man what was i waiting on
I really like how easy it works and always having sharp knives around.
Is it working good for you? I'm 0-3 on my knives. Ruined 2 completely and the third is now my dullest knife. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My knifes are very very think and push on the guides and when I get near the tip it wants to move on the belt. I'm struggling with this thing, I'm about give up and return it. So frustrated.
MuahMan you probably shouldn’t sharpen knives anymore if you can’t even handle the ken onion edition. Lol
Just ordered one. Having difficult time getting an edge on a custom Guthook Skinner (Damascus) hopefully the belt is flexible enough for the Guthook. It's quite large. Kind of a preference when I had it made. Elk/Moose. Awesome video. Thanks... Just noticed the map of the U P in the background. Cool 😎
Sounds like an awesome blade! There's some flexibility in the belt and should work well for you. I suggest practicing with a beater knife before putting that damascus on there.
A double cut axe file works too. Without electricity. For a brand new blunt edge.
I believe I have one of those files. I'll have to try it on my next sharpening project.
With some effort and maybe a jig or two, can I sharpen my hand planes and chisels with this?
Not really with this. You'll get a concave grind and not a flat grind for chisels. Worksharp makes a nice chisel and tool sharpener. I haven't had it on my channel yet, but I may look into getting one.
Great job sir, I'm but the kit ASAP, for my knife sharpening business. Keep up the great work. Sincerely Rev Dale G.
Thanks man, I'm sure this will do a great job of sharpening for your needs. I've noticed a few dull ones in my house and plan to take them out for sharpening.
great video man. Ive had the sharpener itself for quite a while but a buddy just told me about the attachment. Cant wait to get my hands on one
I always use mine with the attachment now. I like the wider belts too.
better belt design for sure, but seems that there is no way to accurately maintain a specific angle on a knife
I feel like this knife sharpener gives you the ability to know how to hold it flat, but the flexibility to sharpen a wide variety of styles like the trailing point knife. That blade has a big swooping curve and I like being able to sharpen it in a free-handed style.
Great tutorial. Well done. 👍🇬🇧
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! Exactly the information i was looking for! Thank you!
Glad this helped. I use mine regularly and it's finally time to get some new belts.
I love the idea of this but I can't help but think it leaves too much margin of error with no guide other than the little ledge that hopes the user keeps the knife angle. Would be so much better with an angle guide.
I've had good luck with holding the knife steady, especially compared to a wetstone sharpener. I know what you mean though.
What are the advantages of the attachment? Can u do a good enough of job with just the Sharpener itself? I like the idea of having the guides, rather that have to try and hold my knife in the correct position
The attachment uses wider, upgraded belts. I'd say it's personal preference. I personally like the attachment, but happy with the standard sharpener too.
Good examples; well explained. Thank you !
You are welcome!
Did you make a video of the Lawn Mower blade sharpening with this?
I've made several sharpening videos, but don't recall showing too much about sharpening lawn mower blades with the WorkSharp system. Their setup is for routine sharpening, and not taking out deep gouges and reshaping the profiles.
I use the All American Sharpener for that.
Really appreciate this vid. Simple and we'll done.
Thanks man, appreciate it!
That blade style is a trailing point . Great demo .
Thank you. I don't hear people talk of that style much, but I think it's pretty cool looking!
Is there a point to there not being a reference area that you can keep the knife on? Moving the knife from the reference to the grind area will surely add error, right? Seems like a bad product for people with unsteady hands.
It seems easier than what I thought it would be to use. I like being able to free hand it a little because of all the different types of blade designs I sharpen.
I’ve seen people handheld sharpen with that belt grinder before lmao. Like a whetstone or an axe file.
I just ordered the attachment before seeing this vid. I can't figure out wetstones on my Mora Skandi blade which is supposed to be easy to sharpen but I have had little success on my 1000 grit wet stone as it takes soooo much practice to maintain the proper angle. Hoping this attachment helps me. Has anyone tried sharpening a Scandi edge on this?
GREAT video! Thanks.
You're welcome!
11:38 Trailing point knife.
Thank you! I don't hear of many knifes with a trailing point design.
I just go to the 3000 grit belt and then remove the burr by stropping it on some cloth and then doing 2 more passes per side very lightly with the 3000 grit belt (white one.) I find that the 12000 grit belt removes the "bite" from the blade so I never use it.
Interesting.... I know that bite you're talking about. I always seem to have it, but I alwys use my leather strop to finish the sharpening process.
Nice review Mark , see you must be in West MI some place, GVSU mitten in the back ground. Cool< Me too GR
I'm in GR occasionally, but live in the mid-Michigan area now. I'm hoping to make it there for ArtPrize next month.
Good for specialty blades but I don't think it's a big upgrade from the base unit for most blades. Also, the motor on the base unit seems to be intermittent duty rated so you need to be fast as it will shorten the life of the motor leaving run. I have a couple friends whose unit died prematurely using this attachment exclusively.
Interesting, I haven't heard anybody reporting issues with the attachment. The thing I like with the attachment is the belts are wider.
Great video! Thank you :)
Thanks, glad to help!
Great review. Thank you.
Even though I have the Wicked Edge sharpener I just recently ordered the Ken Onion blade grinding attachment it has not been delivered yet.
Awesome, each sharpener I've tried requires a little bit of practice to get the tempo and angle down.
I like the concept, can it be used for sharpening chisels?
They make a woodworkers sharpener, the WS3000. I haven't tried that yet, but have heard good things.
The best, cheapest and easiest way to sharpen chisel's is a thick plate of glass, spray adhesive and automotive sand paper. You'll get razor sharp polished chisel's.
You should be able to find this method on the internet. 🤙🏾
Thank you Sir 🕺🏻🎥😎
You bet!
Great video m8 👍
Thanks 👍
You can now buy all in one, which has the Ken onion edition knife and tool sharpener with that attachment and it's 200 bucks 😬🙌but it's an all in one package
It's called the elite sharpening system
Sounds like the way to go. It's a great sharpening system.
How many knives can you sharpen with a brand new set of belts for the attachment?
I thought I read a number somewhere. I think you'll get a couple years out of a set it you do occasional sharpening. Sorry I can't be more specific.
What about the metal debris? Is it wise to wear a mask and will the shavings be all over the are where you're sharpening?
It's probably a good idea, however I never saw anything in the instructions talking about it.
Skinning knife
This sharpener should work well for that.
Can you sharpen stainless steel knives
Yes
Great review and thank you for posting. Question, most of my knives, kukri's and machetes have convex edges already. Would the extra attachment do any better on them vs the regular Ken Onion unit?
I like the extra attachment and always use that instead of without it. I like the wider belts that come with it too.
Looks like the belt sharpens away from knife?? Iv seen several videos where belt turns towards knife..
Huh, I haven't seen that style. I've been very happy with this sharpener.
You shouldve show us sharpening that axe behind u
Yes, good idea.
What angles do you use for kitchen knives vs pocket ?
I use 25 degree for pocket knives and 20 for kitchen knives.
So are you using that level piece as reference?
Yes, it's a guide to hold it level. It looks like there's lots of room for error, but with a little practice, I believe you can hold it nice and level for sharpening.
Hi Mark! Could I ask you for your opinion - Work sharp "classic" / "basic" edition vs. the Ken Onion models, for the novice inexperienced knife sharpener? I'm intrigued by some of the Ken Onion edition bundles, but also think that maybe the guides on the basic edition might be better suited to the novice??? Thanks, love your videos, keep up the good work! Andy.
Hi, thanks Andy. I haven't tried the classic edition, but the basic Ken Onion edition will work well for someone wanting to get in to sharpening knives. The blade grinding attachment is more expensive and versatile, but not necessary.
Do you need to sharpen scissors?? If yes then the original is better suited....can be done on the ko but more freehand.
For me the ko is more versatile....angle range from 15-30 degrees...with original your limited to 20 and 25 degrees unless you freehand it without the guides.
If you have interest in possibly getting the blade grinding attachment at a later point, I would suggest to buy the ko edition...because the attachment will not fit on the original.
Just food for thought
I believe that style of blade is a drop-point.
Okay thanks. I'll have to watch this video again and see.
I was bout to ask u how would that work on lawn mower blades..🤔, then u said it..well nvm...😄
I hope to make that video this week yet.
I think they would b easier bc they are bigger..
damn i would love to have that tool so much !
for now im with very small aliexpress diamond stones and it gets the work done but its far from perfect!
loved your video tho :D
Thank you, this is a worthwhile investment in my opinion.
@@MarkThomasBuilder oh yeah definitely, keeps the blades perfect!
im gonna have to save money tho ahah lol
lookign foward to your next videos
I'm new to sharpening. Hell I've only tried it once lol. why do you think people like that second attachment so much better never go back to the one that came with it? It bothers me that there's no guide and you're basically doing it freehand. I have some really expensive knives that I'm worried about messing up I might take you up on that painters tape trick but I like to know your thoughts on the second attachment have you ever gone back to the other one?
I haven't gone back to the other one. I don't think I'm better than anyone else with a steady hand. Once you practice on a beater knife a few times, you'll get the hang of it. The only challenge for me sharpening with this setup is a hawkbill blade. I'm confident with all other knives.
@@MarkThomasBuilder yea that's what it seems to be everyone saying. Luckily I have some really dull kitchen knives and lots of them I'm gonna start out with.
Great video! thanks. I've started sharpening kitchen knives in my town as a little business, using the KE Worksharp. I'm wondering if this attachment is a means to get a flat grind? My understanding is that the slack without the attachment is what gives it a convex grind, whereas this attachment allows you to get a flat grind? Any input is appreciated. Thanks again!
I think no mater what with the belt system, you're going to get a convex grind, which works well for me. The more slack, the more convex. I'm not an expert, but I think the flat grind comes from a stone sharpening or something similar.
using the guides will severely convex the grind, with the grinding attachment you can kinda control how much convex by how much pressure you put on the belt, you can even move one of the black rollers closer to the other to get a even more flat grind with less convexand they sell stiff belts for this thing that will give an almost completely flat grind but with a belt system its still a tad convex on the edge
@@SouthernKnifeLife Awesome thanks man. Makes sense and that helps clear things up
@@charlieneely2859 I saw your message and I have a question for you I'm looking to get one and I saw that you have a small business sharpening knives. I'm kind of wanting to do the same thing but I'm going to set out at a flea market and see what happens so with your experience so far is it worth the investment to buy one and do a small knife sharpening business
@@davidlingelbach9887 In my experience it definitely was. Within 3 orders I had covered the cost of the sharpener, and I had also learned a new skill/hobby. It should be especially easy if you live in a smaller town where nobody is really offering this service.
Flea markets and farmer's markets are probably a good idea - I moved states before pulling the trigger on the farmer's market in my hometown.
Part of the reason I started the business was to practice my marketing skills. Local Facebook Ads got me the majority of my customers - so I'd say it's worth setting up a decent Facebook page and looking up some youtube tutorials on Facebook ads.
My only problem with this sharpener, what if sandpaper belts are no longer available?
I would think that you could fine something by another manufacturer still. You can get a lot of sharpened on a set. Probably not a bad idea to buy 1 extra set for backup and peace of mind.
does have a way to mount it to a bench or flat surface ?
I didn't look for any mounts on it when using it. It sits very firm on my workbench, so I don't think that's needed. I'm guessing it doesn't, but you could probably use some pipe strap to mount it.
How come the blade grinder does not have an angle guide?
I'm not sure why, it might get in the way of sharpening certain knives. The reference point shelf actually works well to help know the proper angle for holding it.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks mark, do you think i can buy it without the blade grinder for now? And then get it after wards? Because i’m very new to knife sharpenind and might need the angle guide, i plan on opening a knife sharp business
I have a question if anyone could answer, what is the attachment for and can you use the product without the attachment?
Great question. The attachment is simply an enhancement to the original one, which also does a great job. I prefer the attachment because the belts are a little wider and allows you a little more control when sharpening some curvy blades.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks for replying man, but do you think I should spend extra on the attachment just for sharpening kitchen knifes?
Should you wet the blade?
No, just run it across. These are special blades selected by Ken Onion, the famous knife maker.
So what is differences in having the Ken onion than having Ken omit grinder??
The K.O. grinder attachment has wider, more professional belts, which likely gives you slightly better results, in my opinion.
@@MarkThomasBuilder okay I bought the Ken onion yesterday have not used it yet but think I will just buy the grinder I like that way of sharpening better I think anyways and like wider belt. They’d Gould have sold it all together lol!
I had the first KO sharpener for awhile and definitely used it a lot and liked the results. Once I got the grinder attachment, that's all I use now. I think you'll be happy with it. Oh, and yes, they should sell them all together, I agree.
@@MarkThomasBuilder that’s what I’m thinking I should just buy it and get it over with while I have little bit of extra money lol. It’s hunting season so buying to much lately
Haha👍
Do you have any issues with rounding the tip?
I think I've rounded it a little on one of my knives. It helps to practice on a beater knife to get the hang of it. Otherwise, this is my go-to setup for knife sharpening.
I don't understand why they just didn't design it so that the sharpening is done by putting the knife ON a platform instead of moving your hand from a "reference point" to the sanding belt.
I seem to hear that comment quite often. I wouldn't be surprised if Worksharp makes another version of that someday. If they do, I"ll be sure to have it here on my channel! 👊
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks, I won't be buying unless they do.
Ken onion.
“My Mother in Law cut herself on my knife because it was so sharp”
Also
“A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife”
I can see how that sounds contradictory. I learned now to warn everyone when I sharpen my knives. She was peeling potatoes, thinking it was dull.
@Nilly Sigger I understand your point of view and have cut myself with a sharp knife a few times too. My example is if you know the knife is sharp and handle it carefully, then it should slice through food, fruit, or whatever with control all the way through. I recall trying to cut a lime into wedges with a dull knife. That's where it gets dangerous, because you're pushing with a lot of force on a small item with a knife and it can slip off from what you're intending to cut.
But a sharp knife will cut deeper and much quicker.
A sharp knife only faults the user. But a dull knife can fault anyone, that's why a dull blade is more dangerous. You can't rely on a dull knife to be consistent. If you cut yourself with a sharp knife, it's because you messed up.
It seems like you could mess up the angle from the time you rest the knife on the ledge till you bring it up to the belt. It's a shame the angle edge is not closer to the top of the belt.
It takes a little practice to keep it steady, so I use a beater knife to get warmed up. I would like to see a modification to the design, but for now I'm happy with the results I get with this one.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I love my Ken Onion Workshop as well. have been considering this attachment..like some have said, i would be concerned about getting my angle precise on it. i would use it for most all my knives, but i think i will continue to send my Protects/Microtechs back to manufacturer for sharpening.
@@MemphisMike901 If you're sharpening common style blades, you can pick up on the attachment method pretty quick. My only issue is with hawksbill blades.
@@MarkThomasBuilder yes. That is a bit of odd shape for sure. Thx for the reply sir!
What determines the degrees that you set ?
There's an adjustment on the attachment.
A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife "urban legend" I never get cut by dull knife, razor sharp, I friggin get cut just looking at it.
Can you sharpen Karambits with this?
I would think so, I haven't tried that style. The hawkbill knife is the only one I have a challenge with.
he just sharpened a hawkbill, karambit not that far off.
I'm SOLD!!! Do you have a link to order through?
Glad to hear it! I have an Amazon link in the video description.
Kathleen Zimmerman if you have not already wasted your money on this knife sharpener then for a few dollars more now where did I hear that from? lol, I purchase the Wicked Edge I have the Ken Onion knife sharpener and now only use the Wicked Edge!!!
Can i still sharpen scissors with it?
Yes
@@MarkThomasBuilder with what angle?
Do you have any other suggestion aside from that bag
I like to use a leather strop and green compound for "extra credit" after using this sharpener. Here's an Amazon link to what I'm talking about... amzn.to/3GVrqAW
@@MarkThomasBuilder advantage of using that?
@@MarkThomasBuilder did you still use the 12000 extra fine before using the leather strop?
Yes, I still use the extra fine belt. The leather strop just seems to add the extra 2% in my opinion. It may not do much, but I still think it adds another 2%, like extra credit on a homework assignment. 🙌
@@MarkThomasBuilder can i push cut paper with it? Or having the precision one make knife even more sharper
Why is the Ken Onion so much more than the regular Worksharp? Thanks
It's like going from good to great. The belts are wider and much better. This is my go-to now for quick and easy sharpenings.
If your still looking for a more accurate answer. The regular one has set angles. The Ken onion has adjustable angles, plus the ability to remove the main attachment and put on the attachment he shows on this video.
Thanks guys. Since I'm going to be a once a month kinda user, this helps me a lot.
What happened to the tip of that knife?
The trailing knife tip design on the Schrade is in tact from what I recall. I had a challenge sharpening the tip of the hawksbill style.
That cutting board your using at 12:40 is killing the edge of your freshly sharpened knives. You can even see that the knives has a dull section where you dragged it over the board when it cuts through the paper later.
Thanks for pointing that out. It's an Epicurean cutting board. They're advertised as knife friendly, but I guess I better be careful with while using them.
@@MarkThomasBuilder just googled for this particular board. They seem to be "controversial". Certainly not as bad as those super hard cutting board but also not as good as proper wooden boards.
Oh no cutting stuff and potentially the board might dull your edge😮! Sheesh. Everyone is an expert. What do you suggest an air cutting board? Waitttt! Air will dull the blade! Good thing you know how to re sharpen it 😉.
Henrik. What cutting board do you suggest?
That’s a pretty goofy way to get your angle. Why couldn’t they design it with the guide next to the belt! This is a big no-no for me because good luck maintaining that exact angle.
I haven't tried their other model, the precision adjust knife sharpener. That might be more of what you're looking for.
The angle will wrong when move the knife to belt
It seems like most knife sharpeners I use require the user to have steady hands to approximate the angle. Even the stone sharpeners.
markthomasbuilder ken onion and kts more easy
If your mother in law cut herself it isn't because your knives are too sharp. It's because she doesn't know how to hold her guide hand properly. Ha.
50 degrees seems obtuse even for a hunting knife.
Thats 25 each side remember
At first, you used the leather strop in the wrong direction which will cut the leather. Always stroke away from the sharp edge.
Humm, I know better but sometimes get a little distracted and do that. Thanks for sharing so we all learn from each other.
Круто 👍
😁👋
Seems like a stupid way of resetting your blade. Your moving it to the bottom to align it, then lifting it up and putting it against the belt. At that point you're all over the place and no longer aligned!! If it had better guide for the right angle then great bit that's just a bit Noddy!
I like this one much better than a wet stone. I use the guide every so often just to make sure I'm holding it straight. It may not be for everyone, but if you have muscle memory for holding the blade, this is a great choice.
that curve is for skinning , which to me is a wate for food hunting, i take only best cuts and leave plenty for the poor wolves
Thanks for that info. I found out it's a trailing point knife. Quite the curve...
A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one had I said to my mother if she cut herself.
That’s like a little kids version of an actual grinder...
I'd say it's the perfect size for sharpening knives pocket knives, hunting knives, and kitchen knives. I wouldn't use it for my mower blades, even though they say they can do that.
You’re stropping the wrong direction.
Humm, I'll have to watch the video again. Thanks for letting me know.
🐌
Dude that’s a carpet knife... it’s for taring up carpet... LOL
Yeah, definitely an interesting style knife. Great for opening cardboard boxes and breaking them down
That tool rest routine is too much.
If you're just doing occasional sharpening maintenance, then you only use a few belts to touch it up to being sharp.
Shows a brand new or less than ten min of use sharpening stone and feeds us a huge line of bullshit.
Damn it seems hes trying to copy the angle on the fly what a joke
