I highly recommend getting cut resistant gloves for mandolins. You can get a pair for like $10, and they've already saved my skin at least once. They're nice and lightweight and very flexible, basically no worse than regular liners. It's just not worth risking peeling a slice of your palm/fingers off.
The grind on a single bevel kitchen knife is normally a bit different, as they tend to have a v-edge(but only on one side) where this blade has more of a chisel grind where it goes all the way to the edge. The flat side of a single bevel knife is also slightly hollow which is also different. Besides this you would hold the knife differently etc. They have a tutorial on single bevel knives, I suggest you just watch that instead.
@@itsmederek1 The mandolin in the video is made by Benriner and their blades are slightly hollow on the flat side as well. You can apply the sharpening technique for single bevel knives to the mandolin, but not the other way around. Source: I have the same mandolin.
Finer than 3000? wow thats pretty intense for a perpendicular blade but good to know (not that I'll ever need to lol mines the same model of yours there). This is why I went after this particular model - you can sharpen it vs all the crappy american brands that promote waste -.- The last 15 degree sharpen is good to know!
Because the cutting efficiency declines over time when it gets dull and things start to stick and get harder to move through, also you damage the ingredient the duller it is so it becomes unusable on things like tomatoes after a while. If you have a sharp blade it will glide easily even through tough things. If you're concerned with cutting yourself just get a cut proof glove, they are like $10-$15 if that. Use it whenever you are doing something perilous like this or whenever you feel uncomfortable doing something so it acts as a safety net.
Thank you, first tutorial of that on youtube, did my first about a year ago, happy to see that i do them correctly🎉
I'm glad to hear it!

aka kevlar gloves or knive gloves
Thanks for this video ! 😊
Very useful video and the Lofi hip hop music with Japanese beats is great.
Thank you!
Thank you! I was wondering exactly how to sharpen my mando instead of purchasing a replacement blade.
Glad to hear it!
A+ thumbnail. Big dad joke energy 😂
Like your vids thanks chap. Subscribed.
Thank you!
Chiba…what mandolin? Either that was Klingon or the first part of a Hwak Twah. lol
Anywho, great video!

Could you use this process for a single bevel kitchen knife

@ Why not the other way around if the first part is true?
More or less, but there's some extra nuance for single bevel knives. Check out this video!

Yeah, you really don't need to go finer than 3000, just make sure you're using a consistent angle! Glad you like the Mandolin you grabbed!
Why sharpen the already ultimately sharp fingercutter from hell 😂
Because a dull fingercutter is way more scary than a razer sharp one.

It's much safer when it's sharp, as long as you're careful!
Hehe yeah I know, thanks. Was joking 😊
