Cool little sharpener for Cold steel specific serrations. I use tapered diamond rods for mine but this one is great because if the exact spacing. Thanks for the look see and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
I am a big fan of the Worksharp products, particularly of the "Tribrasive Guided Benchstone" (2 diamond and one ceramic plate) and the Guided Field Sharpener with the two diamond plates, the ceramic rod and leather strop I want to discuss today. The ceramic rod on the Guided Field Sharpener has 3 sides, a fine one, a coarse and one with two grooves to sharpen fishing hooks. I knew a long time about the "coarse" side of the rod, but never really used it. The fine side and a little stropping are enough to get any of my knives hair widdling sharp. After watching your video I had to check out, if the grooves of the "coarse" side of the Field Sharpener fit into the fine serrations of my Vaquero Grande. And, voila, they fit. After some minutes of sharpening the fine serrations I used the "fine" side of the rod for the big serrations, then did 2-3 passes along the rod with the backside of the blade to remove the burr. Some passes on my "round dowel strop" I use for recurved knives did it to give the Vaquero Grande an edge, sharper than the one from the factory. To be honest, typing this text needed more time than sharpening the Vaquero Grande. Thank you for this pro tip that made me check out the "coarse" side of the ceramic rod of my Worksharp Guided Field Sharpener!
den kleinen Feldschärfer habe ich auch, das probiere ich mal aus. Den einzelnen Stab habe ich auch, damit mache ich üblicherweise die Wellen. Hast du Erfahrung damit, die Wellen beidseitig zu schleifen? Die CS Wellen sind einseitig angeschliffen wie ein Hobel oder Meißel. Der Schnitt zieht rein, wenn man es mit der linken Hand bedient. Kritisch sehe ich bei den Wellen die Entfernung des Grats. Hast du da auch einen Tipp? schönen Gruß:)
Have you gotten a new vaquero recently they've changed the serrations on them they're way more aggressive and longer teeth maybe I'll post a unboxing of it
Spent a few minutes last night sharpening the serrations on our big bread knife which gets used for all sorts of goodness. But it's getting towards end of its life I think fortunately they're cheap to replace.
The other day I accidentally closed my black talon 2 on my right hand pointer finger. It's the serrated version. And man it cut my finger easily and there was a lot of pain behind those serrations..
yep ! at a 'very slight' angle (almost flat); I also polish and touch up the flat side of the blade with an Xtra fine Arkansas, then 'lightly' strop....
@@Jimislash most of the time, a light stopping on the flat side is all that's needed....just brings out that little extra sharpness 😎 just keep the angle pretty flat...
serrations should be sharpened on another (flat) side of the blade only, as shown on the package and written in the user's manual. It's hard to believe but it's true.🤺
@Jimislash I should know. I handed this knife to some dude I thought was handy, and this mf cut himself. I was like, your a fn jackahhs. Lol. Well it wasn't this knife it was the Cold Steel Spartan with serrations
THERE'S A NUMBER IN THE VIDEO!!!
I saw it! What’s it for?
Great video.Serations can be very tricky.

Thank you Jimislash...I have been wondering about this issue since buying my Black Talon 2 serrated...keep that fuzz on my brother.
Thank you for the great video. It was just what I needed. I'm going to grab one of these payday.
Best video showing the use of this cold steel serrations sharpener! Its been in my amazon list for a while now, my Black Talon 2 thanks you!
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Dude! This is fantastic! I had no idea this existed. Thanks for the tip!
Happy to help!
Sharpening is patience. I know many don't like serrations, but I do. I have a fully serrated pm2 that I love. What's a good strop Mr. Slash?
There's a guy on Facebook who makes amazing strops. facebook.com/EDGEWRIGHTUSA/
I like the new intro. Camera setup is great as well. Thanks teaching me about sharpening serrations.
You are welcome! And thank you!
does it really make a difference to sharpen in the direction of the edge?
I am not sure. I've been told this is not the right way and to sharpen on the flat side. But this has worked for me. However, I need to try both ways.

I like the new intro, nice bladesport action shot at the end of the water bottles.
:) Thank you!
The quick photo montage at the start was cool.

Shoot. Sorry to hear that, but yeah, they are vicious blades.
Dude the black talon is my only knife that has cut me- and it's cut me three times
yep ! at a 'very slight' angle (almost flat); I also polish and touch up the flat side of the blade with an Xtra fine Arkansas, then 'lightly' strop....
Oh, good idea! I didn't think of that.
@@Jimislash most of the time, a light stopping on the flat side is all that's needed....just brings out that little extra sharpness 😎 just keep the angle pretty flat...
Ha when you said fountains of blood running down your fingers I was laughing but yea I must be very carful when sharpening them
Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Love how it broke off the key ring coming out of the package.
:) I didn't catch that.
Best tip is to save the serrated knife for self defense and just use plain edge for everyday slicing dicing etc.
Serrations last forever . I personally like worn down serrations. The l t Spartan should arrive today . What a deal they gave us on that one bro .
YES! Mine gets here today, as well.
I got the black talon 2 w/ serrations... I'm scared to use it because I'll never be able to sharpen it
This will do the job.
You can pay cold steel $10 and they'll sharpen it for you. On a serrated S-curved S35VN blade....that might make sense.
@@wernervoss6357 Great idea!
No matter what I do I can't get it back to factory sharp. Serrated/flat tanto here
Greetings my friend!! How do I buy a Cold Steel Spartan Serrated? Do you recommend me a seller?
Midway.
@@Jimislash Unfortunately they don't deliver internationally. Do you have any other tips? I would really appreciate it!!
@@errantinkognito6180 Where do you live?
@@Jimislash I live in Brazil!
Knowing is half the battle
I didnt know this was a thing!
I wish you didn't tell me though, I'll probably end up buying a serrated marauder...
Yes!
I have a video where I make very used CS serrations shave.
Wow, that's cool! And a dangerous shave. :)
give us a follow up link :)

I believe you.
One piece of advice i can give, is dont hand this knife to a idiot
That's really good advice.
@Jimislash I should know. I handed this knife to some dude I thought was handy, and this mf cut himself. I was like, your a fn jackahhs. Lol. Well it wasn't this knife it was the Cold Steel Spartan with serrations
Just imagine what that knife would do to a bubble man. 😜
