How to Sharpen a Spear Point Knife - Benchmade Infidel Workshop EP. 12

- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- In the first episode of: Will it Sharpen, Josh surprises Kyle with a Benchmade Infidel. The single bevel, spear point, dagger style can be a challenge to some but Kyle breezes through coasting on practice with these blades.
The Infidel is sharpened at about 30 degrees and you can check this using the sharpie method we show in this video: • What is Edge Angle? Ho...
Sharpen each side of the dagger on the beveled side and remember to stop with the tip of the knife in the middle of the belt or abrasive plate, this will create a sticky sharp tip.
Once a burr has been created along the full length of the blade all the way out to the tip then switch to a fine abrasive.
First, polish the edge with the bevel, and then finally remove the burr on the back, non-beveled side, of the blade. This will protect the chisel grind of the knife. Using a leather strop to remove the burr is a good option, however it may require alternating sides on the beveled side and the flat side before the burr falls off.

You want a challenge, do you? I'd like to see you sharpen a Honda Civic front driver's side rotor to a convex grind.
The Worksharp tools are awesome. The instructions included are great!! The videos? Next level no1 does it as well as Worksharp!!
We have watched both Kyle and Steve sharpen blades at SHOT SHOW and both are at the top of their game. 👊 Love our Work Sharp 👊
Now we know. Thanks for showing us. Wish you had an overhead camera looking directly down on the knives being sharpened. Having that overhead camera would better show us how you are manipulating the blade as you are turning it against the belt.
My most carried and used knife is a Microtech Dirac D/E (double edged). I sharpen it on my Wicked Edge Go two or three times a year. As soon as I got it I put my own edge on it has been amazing.
I could spend hou... day... wee... _nahh..._ YEARS in that workshop! I could tinker a life away in there - it looks cool AF. Great set and a cool video. Thanks for sharing.✌️😎👌
AWESOME 👍 What I needed, especially for my Benchmade Infidel. However I used the workshop field guided sharpener.
The principles are the same. I recommend using the leather strop to push the burr off the non-beveled side. And don't forget to increase the sharpening angle a little bit. The Infidel is right about 30 degrees so using the 20 degree guide will remove a lot more material and create a taller bevel (and it will take you a long time to get sharp). Otherwise you're in for a fun process and a sharp knife!

Any tips for a beginner and in laymans terms, for trying to sharpen the infidel with the ken onion works sharp? Im new to the single bevel edge and its givin me a headache! Just cant get it sharp. 😫 Noticed my ken onion works sharp is smaller and maybe an earlier model.
@@USAUSAM82 do you have the blade grinder attachment? thats what he is using in the video
I'd like to see you sharpen a Microtech Ultratech S/E Tanto.
Just turn it into a single edge that’s what I did lmao
I have recently purchased the Ken Onion edition to not only keep my wifes kitchen ninja gear sharp but I have a TOPS HKT that has a similar blade grind as the benchmade. I have never been a "sharpening guy" and I hope this one will help me keep my gear in top form. Thanks for the video!!
I've got the ken onion, and eagerly awaiting the blade grinding attachment. Cool vid.
I want to see you sharpen a Vergez Blanchard double sided skiving and trim knife! I have one, and it is a REAL pain to sharpen.
Nothing beats a oilstone and a diamond steel finish for a sharp WORKING knife ( industry butcher for a few years)
Yeah they scare me a bit with their belt sanders … you take off a lot of metal really fast with those things … I prefer hand sharpening for quality knives .
Man this is such a fun video to watch. Funny how Kyle is confident but when he hears that Steve doesn’t know the knife was taken to be sharpened and than returned to him without telling, Kyle all of a sudden gets pressured even though he mentioned he wants to gove it w perfect edge 😂
Great work, I wish I could buy a ken Onion edition but it’s too expensive, but keep up the banter, really made me smile and laugh😊
More on the Ken Onion please.
I'd like to see you sharpen a Japanese carbon steel chef's knife and any notes about that specifically.
The process is really no different than sharpening most knives. You may throw some sparks on the high carbon blade but they sharpen really well. Set the angle, raise a burr, then refine with the X4 or 12,000 grit belt. We'll show sharpening chef's knives in an upcoming episode.
Sharpen a massive Kukri fixed blade...
On the micro sharpener😂
Fill up the tires on your F250 with a bike pump
I've got the same one, though mine is a Smith & Wesson H.R.T Boot Knife, but same blade. I have had hell sharpening it, and even ruined it, biggest issue was knowing it had multiple angles, but not having ever hear of a spear point. Lets see if they can help get this sharpened
For the infidel, I would reprofile the tip first, then sharpen it with KME sharpener with 15 degrees angle. First, using 240 grit, then 400, then lastly, 800 grit. I would stop at 800 to give the edge a factory sharpened look. Then I would strop off the burr using just a plain leather.
I would like to see someone sharpen a Microtech Spartan blade on the worksharp precision adjust. I end up hitting my clamp or not getting to the edge itself.
Need confidence and a tutorial if you guys could on a MT Dirac or any other D/E spear point blade. Can you guys do that? Is the Precision Adjust Elite capable??? Lol! I love you guys bro! You’re customer service was amazing and I will never buy another brand again. One, bc of the service, two, bc they are everything you guys say they are, and then some!
Thanks Mark, I will make sure and pass that along to the CS team! As for the MT Dirac, the Ken Onion Elite in this video is your best bet. The Dirac is pretty similar to BM Infidel and for all the reasons outlined in the video its your best bet.
I want to see you sharp a Kukri, because of the recurve blade it’s hard for me to sharp, and I don’t know which tool is the best for this.Thank you!
What two belts did you chose and why did you pick those? You said that is how Benchmade sharpens their blades. Why do they do that? Do they like some "teeth" for pull cuts?
Let me try and stump you: ruike. It's a type of karambit, with strange angles. A CRKT with veff serrations. And a kukri
A Challenge to sharpen? Spyderco Captain or Civilian/Matriarch come to mind as some of the more difficult pieces to deal with.
I got a challenge for you try to sharpen the mossy oak black out bowie
Maybe a Microtech SBD? It is a fairly wide blade with a thin bevel
I want to see you can sharpen Fillet knife
Man I wish Kyle would fix my Gerber mk 1 35th anniversary. Somebody dropped it and broke the tip. I tried to fix it with my work sharp mk 1 but I didn't do a very good job. When I get the Ken Onion I will try again.
Can it be sharpened?: pruners / garden sheers, hula hoe, machete, fish hooks, and vegetable peelers?
Pardon my dumb question. Is that a Harley Davidson Sportster gas tank, high up in the corner behind you guys?
Microtech D/E please… I’ll send u mine it’s harder to sharpen than BM
Great informative video guys. What about a hawk bill knife ?
How about this: how to sharpen the steels on a carbide pull-through sharpener?
oh you mean how to sharpen the carbides??
Yes.
2:41 Curious, why don't you disclose what belts were used exactly? And 2:11 . No mention of what belts were used exactly. At 12:30 you say "12,000 belt". You go from "Coarse" to 12,000 belt??
I want to see a spoon sharpened😊
I'd like to see you sharpen a samurai
Hey guys - great video's. I have a coupe hard ones for ya - how to you sharpen your leatherman saw and what about hairdressing scissors? Thanks
Saws are not sharpened like knives. The serrated blade can be sharpened, we'll talk about that in an upcoming episode, a diamond rod or ceramic rod will help you there, especially if it's tapered. You may be able to extend the life of a saw by using a diamond plate to remove and straighten any burrs or bent teeth but that's about it. As for barbers shears, we have an episode coming up on that. use fine abrasives only - I recommend ceramic. Only remove material from the top of the bevel, not the back side, you do not want your shears to gap. A little sharpening goes a log way with scissors. There are RUclips videos out there about this if you can't wait for ours in a few weeks.
So free hand sharpening with an belt grinder?
Would be nice to see you sharpening an axe! I’m really comfortable sharpening knives already but my axe is a different story! Great job with this videos!
An axe is easier than a knife. Like knives it depends on the type of axe
I have the Ken Onion regular unit. I don't have the unit in the video. Any chance you can show how to sharpen plain double edge dagger style on the K O?
Try sharpening a wave bladed Kris
Good one! Any particular make/model?
Nice!! 🇺🇸🪖👍🏼
Show sharpening of old yard tools. Like shovels, hoes, lopping shears, and axes. Make sure they are old and rusty. Also you could do lawn mower blades.
Guys I HATE the Chisel grind on my Mini Infidel can it be changed from a Chisel grind without losing a lot of Blade Steel??? Thank you
Can you sharpen a potato peeler?
If I only benchmade then a Greg socp dagger with the serrations

Sharpen a Fairborne Sykes commando knife
I want to attempt making a Bowie style knife from scratch on my WSKO/Blade Grinder. 20* scande grind, 90* spine .etc.. and I’m looking at making a 10” Japanese Chefs knife single sided15* convex grind or remaking my 24” brisket knife into a single beveled 15* convex shinny Sharp blade. But I’d like to see the WS Gurus show me the way in a full length video please....I did say “please”....
Hey Phill, what a fun video that would be! Perhaps we can work it into the line up... for now here are some tips. As far as making a bowie knife from scratch, I'd recommend starting with a blank, or at least using another tool to grind the primary, the Blade Grinder is not the best tool for the job there. However, I have personally used the Blade grinder to shape wood and G10 handle material and it works very well. And of course it can create an edge after a primary grind is established. The same goes for a chef's knife - the edge is the easy part, and shaping the handle is possible, but grinding the rest of the knife is a big task for the sharpener. Re-profiling the slicer to a single bevel... easy. Sharpen the one side repeatedly until you have removed enough material that no more bevel remains on the back side, then hone the burr away with the 12,000 grit belt holding the knife nearly flat on the sharpener. If it were my own knife I may do this over time, using the knife until it needs to be sharpened, then sharpening only one side and removing the burr from the back. Over time, continue to only sharpen the one side and eventually you'll have a single bevel and you won't shorten the lifespan of the slicer.
That is awesome advice. I hadn’t thought of the very heavy grinding of the blank before using the WSKO but your absolutely right. Also I’ll just keep sharpening the slicer and Chef knives at 15* single bevel. Thank you!
Sharpen freddy Krueger glove the Hero
I want to see can sharpen machete
Sharpen a ninja star!?!
Why in the hell would you use a worksharp on a benchmade infidel tho? use a fine grit stone.
A Ice Auger blade (Jiffy not Eskimo)
We tackle an ice auger briefly in this video: ruclips.net/video/xeje5eLfdiY/видео.html
@@WorkSharpOutdoor just watch the video. The jiffy blades are serrated. Thought it would make it s little tougher
I'd like to see you sharpen these items, but first please demonstrate that they are very dull: scissors, fingernail clippers, a kitchen serrated bread knife.

Да, ребятки. Поразили дважды (минимум): Посмотрите сами на свой рисунок про углы: где у вас 20 градусов нарисовано, и при этом вы точно! не получите 40 градусов фаски режущей кромки - просто сами на бумаге нарисуйте по своим инструкциям и измерьте полный угол. И второе: когда человек елозил по ленте, он точно не удерживал клинок горизонтально. А всё потому что не прикладывал его на площадку. И потому угол, который он настроил (20 градусов) - это полная ерунда.
Automatic Google translate:
Yes, guys. Struck twice (minimum): Look for yourself at your drawing about the angles: where you have drawn 20 degrees, and at the same time you are for sure! do not get a 40 degree chamfer of the cutting edge - just draw on paper yourself according to your instructions and measure the full angle. And second: when a man crawled along the tape, he definitely did not hold the blade horizontally. And all because he did not put it on the site. And therefore the angle that he adjusted (20 degrees) is complete nonsense.
I have such device and have an experience. I was waiting from you better result.
UUHHH Shurikan?
You don't need to talk about stuff that means nothing. If you go straight to your pointyoou will have more views
Benchmade factory edge is hot garbage
Benchmade use to be really good quality. However the quality has gone down unfortunately!. The knives arrive, and need to be sharpened. Benchmade are you listening. I own the infidel. Not that impressive!
Just use a fixed system
