    Great video. I hate those cheap pull through sharpeners like that. Most of them remove to much steel and I’ve seen knives ruined by people using them. Here’s a tip when using honing rods whether they are made from ceramic or metal. At the end of the stroke lift the blade away rather than just letting it slide off. You can actually round the tip of a knife by letting it slide off a rod, been there done that. Another thing for people to consider using is a good strop with good compounds or emulsions. Strops can help prevent over sharpening of a knife and they can help take the sharpness to the next level so to speak. Anyway I love your videos, keep up the good work.

    The ceramic stick does sharpen knives. If it wasn't sharpening it, the sticks wouldn't turn dark. When they do turn dark, they actually don't work as well because the pores in the ceramic get clogged with the metal. They can be washed with a little detergent and they'll work better again. That being said, the whetstone would definitely do the best job as long as you can keep the angle right.

    When I try to explain why you hone a knife blade, I put my palms together with my extended fingers laced but slightly bent. Then I straighten my fingers so they line up, which is what the hone does to sharpen the blade.

  • @pauljs75
    @pauljs75 4 года назад +3

    Ceramic rod isn't the same as a honing steel though, since it's finely abrasive and does take material off. It works closer to the whetstone in this case. And to keep that abrasive quality, clean it with Bar Keeper's Friend or a similar cleansing powder.

  • @hyojoonus
    @hyojoonus 4 года назад

    Get the ceramic rod for sure. Strop on belt or cardboard even. That should re-edge and maintain the knife for a while. But one needs a stone eventually but that's a whole new ballpark of things to learn. Amazon gadget? If stropping is not an option, I suppose. It might be good for putting a rudimentary bevel for finishing on a stone.

    The honing steel is used to re-align the edge and remove small small burrs..... It ain't gonna save your knife some grinding the hell out of it lol.

    @vancevehrs5601 4 года назад

    One of my kids dropped an 8" German chef knife over our wood kitchen floor. Tip first and fell over leaving the tip in the floor. I used a Lansky sharpener to pull the original blade out to a new tip. Not pretty, but fully functional tip. I like having a 22 degree guide. What do you think about moving multi grit stones over a fixed blade?

  • @nikosfilipino

    I feel like ceramic is highly underrated in the knife sharpening world. I have my share of whetstones and i love them but personally the bottom of a ceramic cup is my go to before and after use, and im able to maintain a razor edge on them.

    Honing means honing, it doesn't sharpen. It just straightens out the folded edge on a blade, just so you guys out there don't go buying one thinking it can sharpen. It doesn't remove any material at all.

    so I LOVE THIS VIDEO and my comment isnt meant to be a HATER: So arent those japanese sushi knives RH single bevel? so know there is a different sharpening angle for single vs. dbl bevel. SOr... i couldnt sharpen a bevel on a stone @ 27 deg. and have it be sharp, but i could use the $6 tool to make it sharper...so the same applies to using the correct angle on those tools for a single bevel..hold it NOT down the middle, but angle it to bias one side. and achieve the desired angle>> then same with thankse ceramic steel, dbl. vs single are tilted to the proper angle...to hone. disrupted edges...I KNOW and GET your idea.. but PLESE delve deeper!! thanks

    At 00:45 [-people have said, The true test of a knife is its sharpenabity. ] It is a hard hitting fact confirmed to me by a western saddle maker. Maybe a specialized industrial application might disagree. I learned this lesson the hard way: Bought diamonds and fixtures to put an edge on that knife. Anyway, good techniques and a shapenable steel can provide any result; both sharpness and durability. Taku demonstrated and explained the best choices.
    The sharpest edge is the least durable but the easiest to cut with. If you lose sharpness twice during cutting you might consider an option. Using the flat stone with proper technique allows balancing between sharp and durable and this benefit is because of the induced roll. The slight rolling of the edge can be increased to increase edge durability. Conversely, holding the edge without roll achieves the greatest sharpness. The technique is: First accomplish maximum sharpness. Second, induce roll away from the sharpened edge.
    Probably the most disagreeable statement I hear people repeat often or even publish is: " A dull knife will cut you ?#% than a sharp knife".

  • @seanlanders4180
    @seanlanders4180 4 года назад

    This may only apply to mild steel knives, but I was always taught that when you use a honing rod you want to pull away from the edge - that is, the edge is pointing towards you and you're moving the knife away from you - so that you pull the material towards the edge and get a finer edge and lose less material. Am I doing it incorrectly, or are there just different schools of thought when it comes to using honing rods? Thanks, great video!

    • @hyojoonus
