    Found your channel very interesting. Started collecting knives about 5 years ago. But always uses a stone for sharping. Since seeing your channel, it has inched me closer to buying a belt sander. Bought a nice one a dremel model 1731 from an estate sale. I'm going to try your teaching on some basic knives to get better at the craft. Thank you, and keep up the great work. Again, I enjoy the channel.

    Cliff, you're the leading autority on belt sharpening I think. I have noticed the critisism of belt sharpening myself. The one tormek guy does what seems like good work but hes awfully critical for no reason. Theres a ton of ways to get to a good result. I prefer belt I think too, but im an amature.

    • @CurryCustomCutlery
      @CurryCustomCutlery  3 месяца назад +1

      the biggest critisism that gets held up is the temper/heat damage. Its used by whetstone and tormek users and a low hanging fruit to elevate themselves above the savage belt user.
      However I can make a video at anytime that will dispell these false claims and maybe just maybe soon it will be done. :)

      @@CurryCustomCutlery Lay it on us cliff. The axe community is kinda like that too, no doubt you could certainly do it but it would take some amount of carelessness. I enjoy using stones too but not to the point of being elitist about it and tormeks do look like fun but not for the price of entry and the fact that they really only do just the one thing. My belt grinder is a workhorse in my shop for all manner of grinding tasks.

    I wasn’t a believer in the belt sander / angle guide method until I tried it. It works great. Now I’m a convert. But I also still use whetstones, a Tormek, and Edge Pro guided systems. Turns out all of them work well for different blades/situations.

    @deerosenbaum8109 3 месяца назад

    Enjoyed this video. What factors determine the bevel width? If the sharpener determines that then when would you choose a wide vs a thinner bevel?

    • @TrustinChrist-truthseeker
      @TrustinChrist-truthseeker 3 месяца назад

      Biggest ones are edge angle and behind the edge thickness coming down from the primary grind to where it teansitions into the secondary bevel or actual cutting edge. For kitchen knives it is generally recommended to have them be .005"-.010" behind the edge thickness. I have found doing convex grinds help as well and then figuring out the art of thinning knives. It will massively transform the cutting experience and make a completely dull knife feel sharp as per Outdoor55's video "Knife Sharpness is weird" which was based off his friend Steve Callari's work. The main thing to remember is that you are trying figure out at what edge angle the knives will hold the most stable edge that will cut the longest, while giving the best resistance to chipping and deformation, and yielding the best cutting performance. This is why a well made custom or japanese chefs knife is amazing to use, because they are at about or under that .010" behind the edge thickness. Depending on the knife and application you may need to change the edge angle, but generally the less material behind the cutting edge the better. You are trying to find the best combination of behind the edge thickness and secondary edge angles to maximise a knifes performance for any given task. One way you can sorta cheat if it is starting to get thicker as you get higher up into a blade is doing a more acute edge angle to get the thickness down and then doing a microbevel at 15°+ depending on the knife. This is why it can be nice to do a convex edge as they also help with cutting performance by decreasing cutting resistance by removing the shoulders at the top of the secondary bevel and making a smoother transition.
      Hope this helps!
      Sincerely,
      JS

      Which Bevel angle is the best for durability vs. sharpness?

    • @TrustinChrist-truthseeker
      @TrustinChrist-truthseeker 17 дней назад

      A caveat that should have been added before is that having it be thin like that does typically from what I have seen require it to be at least 56+ HRC like in Vosteeds Stallion series, which comes down to .010" behind the edge and then usually higher say 60+ HRC. There are people like Big Brown Bear that have had excellent success getting their knives to 63+ HRC and then going down .010" behind the edge thickness on their outdoor knives and still having good resistance to deformation and even chipping on a nail chop. With all this being said, it is just a bit of extra info, and I think Cliffs short clip is about perfect in summing up all the important stuff.
      Sincerely,
      JS

      @billybobwombat2231 3 месяца назад

      @PatriotEdge $100 wood dust blower, $100 in ducting, put exhaust outside, $100 in ply for dust cabinets, runs on solar charged batteries, works for me, I can do knives considerably quicker than a wet grinder, thus my hourly rate is much much higher so the $300 I invested in my dust extraction is probably paid for in one day, so that was ten years ago, little to no dust, plus extraction fans on windows which run on solar, your costing is moot.

    • @billybobwombat2231
      @billybobwombat2231 3 месяца назад

      @PatriotEdge perhaps you just didn't like someone making your point moot, yeh my first reaction is he needs dust extraction, which he may or may not do, I just pointed out it could be done very cheaply and effectively, putting someone in a place to make a considerably higher hourly rate than using a slow wet grinder, this higher hourly rate would pay for the dust extraction very quickly, while someone using a wet grinder would be stuck using a slow inefficient system that is costing them lost production when compared to a linisher, multiple that lost production over a years work and you'll see how much money or free time you will be losing, it's a dumb machine to use if you want to make money 🤷
