Dear Alex, thank you so much for these awesome videos, they taught me how to sharpen knifes!
Do you have a Patreon account?
Thanks a lot! 👍
Can you do a video using pocket/portable sharpeners? The ones where you draw the blade through a channel to sharpen it, against 2 surfaces at opposing angles (15-20 degrees)
officially titling you "The Internets Go-To Knife Sharpening Tutor". Best sharpening instructions on the web is found right here yall. Believe me...I've looked...for 15 years.
Back in 1962, I did a 4H Fair talk on, "How to sharpen a knife." I was 11 years old in the 4th grade. My interest in sharpening knives has never stopped (I'm now 72). Me and my knives have had a great life.
Wow! Someone who actually clearly explains blade sharpening. VERY IMPRESSIVE! Thanx for the video. It's excellently done and your explanations are crystal clear (no pun intended). Explaining stones a bit too really helps. I've been sharpening for 55 years and you are spot on. Well done! Can't wait to check out your other videos....

Very Impressive. Project farm?
Do you sharpen professionally?
I gave up trying to sharpening knives freehand and bought an electric kitchen knife sharpener. Thanks to your video , now I know why I sucked sharpening freehand. I cheaply bought one of those Amazon aluminum oxide multi-grit stone sets and even 3D printed guides to use. Now, thanks to your clear and excellent instruction I will now purchase your recommended diamond stone and try again!
ive been teaching the thumb trick for a couple years now in my sharpening videos glad to see someone else finally do it as ive gotten so many comments asking why they never seen it before i let them know i invented it lol
Dutch Bushcraft does this as all.
Yes Jared 😁✌👍
Ive had it in numerous vidover the years. I hadnt really seen it anywhere else either. At least its a constant in the community that people can agree on😂 👍👍
You can also hang the spine on your fingernail and use your knuckles. This helps with longer blades for me.
It’s an old knife grinders trick. It’s how you keep your angle when grinding generally. Until you grind the tip of your knuckle off with 36 grit ceramic belts 😂
Bam neeves knives
This is what the internet was invented for. Accessing knowledge other people are willing to share. Thanks for the illuminating explanations
Thanks man! I've had some trouble figuring this out. You've sincerely made it clear for me! Thank you very much!
You always do such a great job explaining and demonstrating knife sharpening!
Best beginner sharpening video I’ve ever seen. Nice clear demonstrations.
I've been watching your sharpening videos for four or five years now and always find these informative, even though I haven't really started sharpening yet.
Really fascinating to me.
Thanks for another goodie.
You are very good at explaining things. I’ve watched a lot of sharpening tutorials, and I think this one is the best.
From all the guides i have seen you are by far the best. It all helped me to improve myself. Thank you !
You do a great job of teaching by utilizing your verbal instruction with demonstrations. Thank you.
Several tips I haven’t heard before - thanks !
I have recently started getting into knife sharpening. You are my favorite guy to watch on RUclips. I bought the Spyderco ceramic stone after watching your video and have been happy.
This is one of your better videos. I really liked the extra details you used to explain each process in full. Great info.
I love that you gave some numbers for an angle, even if I will never sharpen a knife.
I totally round it trying to get the knife tip. Thanks for the advice.
Well written and clearly presented. The photography just keeps getting better. This will help lots of people get better results.
I'm new to knife sharpening and I want you to know this video was a game changer!!! Thanks man!😃😃
The close ups are incredibly helpful to your cause.
Absolutely brilliant,.so well explained. I sharpen a lots of knives and axes for bushcraft and found this very informative.
Okay, you got me with marking the edge. Clever wizard.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking all the mystery out of free hand sharpening.❤❤❤
Watched this video, finally got an edge and immediately cut my finger, so success!
Thank you for the very instructional video. Much appreciated.
Explained by an expert so well that this dummy learned and understood! Thank you from England
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I made my own leather strop recently and finally managed to get my kitchen knives shaving sharp! Today I sharpened 5 frequently used knives at my friend's house too. :)
I liked your "rule of thumb" trick. I've been sharpening knives for over a half century and your tip is a good reference for newbies trying to learn the skill... thank you
Very good work sir! The detail, quality and clarity of your demonstration is top notch. I would highly recommend this video to any of my colleagues from beginners to seasoned veterans interested in knife sharpening.
Thanks, man. Im a prep chef who got excited about the knife world recently and your videos have been helpful. I appreciate it.
thank you! best sharpening video of all the ones i've seen as a beginner
One of the best sharpening videos. This helped me get a razor edge on a 'problem' pocket knife.
Wow! Short but very informative vid , solves exactly the kind of mistakes I have been making with my knife sharpening. Please keep these awesome knife sharpening vids coming they're very good 👍👍!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You actually know what you are talking about.
You are simply brilliant in tutoring. Finally I understood. Thank-you
This is the absolute best video I’ve ever seen on sharpening that explains it as simple and concise as this
I sharpen differently, as I prefer to not use stones on the bench, but I hold more of rod sharpeners in the air, but this is amazing
Your information was spot on, questions I had, you answered them,Thanks
So glad I saw this before purchasing a knife and the first affordable stone I saw on Amazon
Very insightful. I cut meat for a living, and I’ve watched your old videos to help out with sharpening my knives. This video is the type I like. I love that you explain too steep vs too shallow. I sometimes have mine too shallow . Thanks for the info. Keep the videos coming!
Wonderful vid. Clears up a lot of problems I was having. Thanks
You and Neeves Knives have helped me on my sharpening lessons for my blades. So far all has been well. Appreciate it mate :)
appreciate the tips, big help for stuff that ive been struggling with for years
Very helpful tutorial. Extremely detailed and really showed me what I was doing wrong.
These are really well explained, detailed yet easy to follow instructions. I am getting more and more into cooking and find it hard to sharpen knives with a sharpening stick. I know a stone is the ideal way to go, but I find it a bit intimidating. Watching these videos and seeing some tips and tricks helps, and gives me confidence that I can try (which is the only real way to learn) without severely screwing something up. It'll take a while, but I have the starting points to begin my journey as we all had to when we picked up something for the first time.
I ve sharpened 50 or so knives since spring 2022 . It’s early 2023 and I feel my sharpening skills have went through the roof thanks to you and Jared’s vids . Heck yeah . I sharpened that crappy axis lock from Walmart everyone says is a good $6 knife which we all know better . It got nowhere near as sharp as a better done steel .
this video is clear, simple and to the point. it teaches you the basic knowledge in an organized anc precise fashion with actual clear examples. it is excellent and I'm sad it has not as many views as it deserves becasue I've been watching videos on knife sharpening and they're as crappy and overcomplex as they come. half are priming you to sell something and the other half are trying to make sharpening a tool a misterious art. thank you
Thank you thank you thank you! Genius is sharing your knowledge.
I would like to thank you for all of your instructions and videos on how to sharpen knives the right way. There are so many people that claim they can do this, but can't! I am always looking and learning new ways and techniques that improve my skills at sharpening. I love to learn and both my dad and my grandfather taught me how to sharpen knives the right way. Thank you so much for sharing your videos.
Thanks for the information. Black marking the apex so you can get the manufacturer angle correct is a great idea
thank you, very well explained
This is one of the best videos on sharpening that I have ever seen! I have seen so many RUclips videos on sharpening that my head was spinning. I have three of the best books on sharpening, the ones authored by Leonard Lee, Ron Hock, and Thomas Lie-Nielsen. This video is in the same class. Thanks for the great video!
So good, and easy to understand.
Thank You!
I've been watching your videos for a few years now, always interesting and clear, keep up the awesome work
Solid tip. I sharpen on whetstones and I get good sharp edges, but I know I'm getting wobble in there. That thumb tip looks really helpful. I like to use the light to find my angle. When the shadow disappears, I know I'm at the right angle for the apex.
Hands down best sharpening video I've watched. And i watched over 40 videos!
Always sharing the knowledge on sharpening. Good advice.
Thank you for this video. Great guidance!
Thank you for posting another great vid. With you video's and burrfection I have got shaving sharp, but not quite razor sharp. Now I think I understand why.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Always great advice Alex
Thank you
You are a great teacher. Thank you for these videos.
Just tried this on one I was having this problem with, made a YUGE difference thanks!
Best sharpening video I have ever seen, easy to follow, very nicely done sir.
“Rule of thumb” brilliant! Thank you
Best sharpening videos period -Thanks Alex 😎👍
i'm 60 and this is the first explanation I've seen that covers the angle etc.. THANK YOU!
You make excellent videos for sharpening on a stone. You've gotten very good at this.
Thank you. Most informative!
I appreciate your sharpening tips. Ive been sharpening on stones for about 2 years and im still not great at it. When i get in a slump and cant get a knife sharp i come back to your videos.
I've learned so much about proper sharpening from you...thank you! The black marker technique is a great tip.
I've watched a lot of sharpening videos, this is one of the best.
i love your detailed photography/videography.... very informative!!
I have put off buying a DMT sharpening stone, but I'll finally do it later this month. Thanks for the video.
Got my new dmt diamond stone and it's awesome. Thanks.
Just got a cheapish set of diamond plates to sharpen some kitchen knives for the first time. Your reference images of what not to do was helpful. I made sure to have a good light so I could periodically check my edge to see if I was maintaining a consistent angle. Knives feel amazing even after a short bit of time. Was able to even work out the little chips my kitchen knife had from years of abuse.
Since I have the same Klein tool, I especially appreciate the discussion!
Baught this stones straight from my Beginns how to shapening my knifes. AT first, I was verpasst frustrated but I get More and More Feeling how to handle it. Keep moving on, whatever stone you
Use. For me, sharpening my "Messer" is the best Meditation. Cheers from Germany
Thank you.
Wow, I thought I knew, but now I know it didn't and now I do!. Thanks so much.
I always enjoy your content, partly because you speak in simple, understandable language. I'm 73 & I've been an avid collector, user & maintainer of many different types of cutlery. I've made some of these mistakes in my younger life, but have refined my skills over the decades by, not only sharpening my extensive collection, but that of my family, relatives & friends. I derive great satisfaction from correctly bringing a blade to "hair popping" sharpness. Please continue your excellent content. It will benefit future generations of new inductees to the skill.
Great video and explanation of sharpening and correct form.
Thank you, very informative.
Thanks, for the Sharpie tip.
Correct tips, thanks.
Thank you for these tips and how-to points. I have a project knife that has been driving me bonkers and until now, I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Thank you again.
👌👍👍👍
Excellent advice, easily understandable and applicable for everyone, in a concise and thorough form. A+
Thank You, works great👍
Terrific video thanks
I lucked out, this is the first video I watched on this subject and it has the detail I needed, with explanations and visuals to clarify everything. Many thanks! Now on to the next one about burrs. . ... Oh, and I subscribed and liked☺️
Great video thank you
Excellent, extremely educational video. Thank you!
I self taught many many years ago on the cheap whetstones, didn't know any better at the time. Took me loooong time to figure out and understand how to get a sharp enough edge to shave with too.
Thank you. Very helpful.
thanks for the video. good explainng, not too much, just on point! Perfect :)
I watched your video on sharpening a knife with a brick and that’s all I have, and my dads wet stone. Thank you for the tips. I hope I can get better at sharpening.
والله تسلم كلام مهم وشكرا على المعلومات المهمة. شكرا على جهودك
Over angling, that's my problem. TY for posting!
