Paddy, I'm sharpening knives profesionally for 2 decades. If my experience nad opinion counts to you, I wanted to say, that the CC4 is the BEST portable sharpening system I've ever used. Both in terms pof performance, and in terms of quality. Of course it can be use indoors too, if you don't care for super polished edges, that have no scratches, then the CC4 can be literally, the one and only sharpening stone, to keep your blades sharp!!
I love this stone. I have bought a couple of nice pocket blades that I use at work for my sparse moments of cutting cardboard, plastic bands, twine, and shrink wrap. This CC4 is great for MAINTAINING a great edge. Maintaining it BEFORE it gets crazy dull, is best. A couple of laps on the ceramic side at the end of the day, or during the day, is all that's needed.
Thanks Paddy, we grew up with carbon steel and then the supersteel were 420 and 440 and it worked . It just shows if you can learn to sharpen your knife you do have to have the latest and greatest. Thanks
I've tried and tried, and I've NEVER been able to successfully freehand sharpen a knife. I just ordered this cc4 in order to try again. May the gods help me...
Hi Paddy, Well, Ive found it. Only spent a third of my gift,I bought a Spyderco "Urban". Had it on me for over a week now and I find for me its perfection. Dont think I had a particular "grail knife" but this is a "Goldilocks". Wanted to get a UK legal knife to get rid of the anxiety of being jammed up carrying a lock knife. My god I found a beauty slippy. The click stops are sublime.. Just right finger choil. One handed opening and closing. Yes its expensive when you consider the likes of a Ganzo F759M but the Spyderco is legal and just better, fit, finish, great blade steel. A well engineered scalpel sharp feather!. So with the left over money I think I will be going back to HH for the other 2 in the "Slipit" family. The "UKPK and the "SQUEAK". But the "URBAN" is going to be my EDC for a very long time I think. ATB mate. P.S. It would be a interesting and a good show if you could get hold of the "Slipit range to review. UK legal/Is a lock a must have?.
Good video, sharpening is definitely something that intimidates people I feel, and it really doesn't have to be complicated if all you want is a working edge. And from there it's all practice. Definitely messed up the finish of the cheap paring knife I first practiced on, but I got it sharper that it ever was on that first evening. I have one of the small Fallkniven stones with the diamond plate, a cheap whetstone from the hardware store, and a couple of strops that I made from an old belt. Also recently got a little portable diamond rod for serrations and recurves but I haven't really used it yet. I'd like to try a guided system at some point but for the time being I'm good to go.
Very practical and informative.I bought the cc4 on your recommendation and my only issue is I wish it was a tad longer but I will be using it on my Spyderco hopefully shortly if I can get the grand kid out of the way. I know you know how that is lol. thx mate, Furbs.
Thanks for that Paddy. I’ve just found a couple of knives, both of which are blunt. So, as you’ve just inspired me, I might do the Army clasp knife this afternoon. The 8” Bowie, won’t get the Lansky treatment today.
Hello paddy, good morning to ya. Free hand isn't my thing. And when I need to put an edge back on I'll go to 1500 grit for a burr then strop it. It's much easier to maintain an edge with a strop then to let it go dull then have to resharpen imo. I learned how to sharpen free hand but I can't get as near as sharp as in my kme
Love these charpening videos! But I don't know if I can afford to watch any more of your videos. First it was Ganzo (I got 6 of them, and 2 more on the way) + a bunch of others from GearBest, DHgate and Aliexpres. Then came the GECs (got 4 and one on the way shortly) and now it's Rough Riders? Is there no end to this madness? 🤣😂😂🤣
This is far better than my bottom of a cup method haha great example of sharpening not being too scary. Would you consider one of the rough rider knife kits as a series, I am just doing one and they are harder than they look. Hope you’re well.
paddys potato peelers yeah fair enough it’s definitely not for everybody. I might well consider it when I get time I’m not really an on camera type of guy but maybe one day haha.
@@paddyspotatopeelers2154 good man thanks.. just subscribed there.. I just got myself a camillus chunk.. going to try take lock of so I can carry it outdoors... One other question ..IV been shaving with the old fashioned de razors.. but now but now lol I'm starting on the cut throat one.. hope it goes well haha...did u ever sharpen one of those..any tips..I no knifes r your thing.. thanks
I can do nothing about knife sharpening but enough to get a knife razor blade with the folding knife cc4 ... and a blockstrop ... just love free hand ... sometimes it gets measured shit but sometimes it gets pretty good ... free hand for ever....love my English 😱🤪😝😜🤣😜😜😜🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just done an update video on it last week. It's amazing. You just use a cleaning powder like vim and scrub it. It comes up like new. I've added a diamond stone on the front and strop on the back. Complete system. Atb paddy 👍☘️😀
Paddy, after watching thos vid I picked up the cc4 and am practicing with it. The thing is, I'm getting pretty good results when alternating hands. Should I continue this way or keep trying to learn with the same hand? I'm new to freehand sharpening.

Great video! It was short and spot on. Thanks for sharing :)
Great demonstration. Thanks Paddy and have a great cup of tea! 🐴
Nice one :D
Super quick and results speak for them self. Love it. Consistency is blown way out of proportion.
Love your sharpening videos Paddy! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the vid, Paddy! Great demo! That rough rider is gorgeous! & tough as nails like you!
That RR certainly came back to life fast with your steady hand! Thanks for the video and showing the great utility of the Fallkniven CC4!
I've been using the cc4 for a few months now. I love it. Dc4 and cc4 together and you are set! Great on an axe too. 🇨🇦🥓🍻
You make it look so easy Paddy, brilliant video, atb David 👍🙂☘️
Well done Paddy...thank you for the tip.
Thanks Paddy, just getting into sharpening and every bit of information helps. Cheers mate
Really enjoyed that sharpening video. Enjoy your tea.
I know you call yourself a beginner sharpener, but you sir are a skilled pro now. Well done my friend.
Bought this stone after watching this video and it's working great for me. Thanks!
So glad you like it mate I still love and use mine almost daily for touch ups. Atb paddy 👍☘️😊

You really make it look easy,thanks
Another awesome vid very useful I need to step off the plank and get more comfortable with sharpening.. I’m gonna give this a go.
Thanks for that Paddy. I’ve just found a couple of knives, both of which are blunt. So, as you’ve just inspired me, I might do the Army clasp knife this afternoon. The 8” Bowie, won’t get the Lansky treatment today.
Got the knife, got the stone. Thanks Paddy
you can also use the backside of the pouch as a strop
Your so good at it. I'm jealous.
I've reduced both band-aid use and blood loss by holding the blade still and moving the stone on the edge. All the best.

Only problem is I tried this and it didn’t slice as good as yours I need to practice my free hand skills
'DC4, CC4'...TV, RUclips, watching/sharpening in the easy chair friendly :-) ...have a great week...
Very nice Paddy
Good old Paddy ,you got that knife as sharp as the wife's tongue ,oops my bad it's international woman's Day .ATB Dave
Great vid thanks Paddy 🐱

Hi paddy hu has the best price on that sharpner ?

To be really honest not my cup of tea but if you make one ill watch it. Lol. Atb paddy 👍😊☘️

Hello paddys!
Would you still recommend this little stone in 2019? How does it serve you, does it load and become ineffective?
All the best.
