I like the sandpaper sharpening hone...can carry in my overnighter and sharpen my pen knife. Needed to cut fruits in a hotel recently in a hotel...had to sharpen the knife with the base of a ceramic cup. My pen knife was new, didn't realize it was so dull. Was is super glue, E6000? Not so easy to get where I am. Thanks for sharing though.
Excellent video! Great tutorial. Using a sharpening plate produces scratches! Cant use it on worksharp precision as the blade isnt wide enough! Ingenious solution! Cheers
Eazylap makes a diamond pocket sharpening rod that works pretty well mine sits in a slip sheath along with my SAK Hiker. Also Victorinox used to sell a 3" pocket honing steel which is just as useful as the easylap at rescuing an abused edge .
Some questions need to be answered. (1) What aggressiveness or grit sandpapers? (2) exactly what kind of glue? (3) What exactly is the blue formula you put on (which might be understood by some viewers)? (4) Why the process be done as you showed instead of using a sharpening stone followed by similar finishing method?
1) 600 grit, then 1500 grit sandpapers. 2) rubber cement 3) the diamond paste comes in different formulations. 4000 grit or smaller should suffice. It will also be listed as "microns." 4 to .5 microns will work, and you can make more than one strop for different compounds. "Green" polishing compound should work as well. 4) both methods are equally valid.
I like it. BUT I'd like to mention when I strop I roll blade on spine, not the edge when transitioning strokes back and forth is the way i learned, and adhere to. It saves the burr from rolling if you don't lift it properly. IMHO. Again, excellent vidiography and content. Thank you for posting, i like it very much for adding to a kit, and it's simplicity and functionality. *edited for grammar
Nice! However, you use a WAY larger angle than the angle this.blades edge bevels come with! PS Tape is a better solution than glue. It will provide a more flat and even surface.
Jeeezzzusssss! It would be CHEAPER and FASTER to just buy a small diamond file from the same hardware store you got the two sheets of sandpaper, roll of double sided tape, wood strips and glue from! FAIL! LOL
Just buy a sharpener. I’ve got a keychain model that works perfect. This case I’ve got to find and buy: sandpaper, emery cloth, wood slat, glue, tape, blue schitt, ….,,,GL. WTF?
This thing should not be called an army knife. The metal is so soft and does not last long. Once I clean it with water, the part inside is swollen because it is made of paper. the quality is so poor and the price is extremely expensive.
You probably got a chinese copy. I have a 40-year-old swiss army knife still in perfect condition despite being used almost every day, cleaned, sharpened, etc.. The only frail part is the toothpick. And it's called army knife because it is provided to every Swiss soldier on his first day in the military.
This is an easy, affordable alternative that’s very portable. I’m tempted to make a set for my go bag for field touch up. Of course a fancy system is nice but for your soft-steel $35 SAK this is all you need.
@@idrinkwine flip a mug and sharpen it on the bottom side, or get ANY stone from the closest store you will find. These two are already better then sticking grinding paper to wood LOL
@@JohnDoe-el5ir Done that, and you're right that works very well. I also have a stone that works well. But mugs and stones are not very light packable. An option like this, that I already knew, is allright for emergency bags. And yes, Victorinox has a small packable solution too but even though not expensif really not affordable for me now, what I do have is sandpaper and wood and thats why I support these ideas.
Of course everybody has wood, sandpaper, leather and diamond paste at home. How much are the materials? I would buy a CC4 or DC4.
Nice, but technically, you just made another "Special Knife Sharpener."
Exactly
Just buy a small stone
Just sharpen on the bottom of a porcelain tea cup. Easy peasy.
I always do that, dead sharp.
I always carry a porcelain tea cup when I am camping, so this is a great idea.

E6000 it's a flexible glue for general use. For the leather strop you can use any specific leather glue.
Excellent video! Great tutorial. Using a sharpening plate produces scratches! Cant use it on worksharp precision as the blade isnt wide enough! Ingenious solution! Cheers
remember guys "a sharper knife is safer than a dull one"
No special knife sharpener, proceeds to homemaker a special knife sharpener!
So how does this compare to using a ceramic cup?
Eazylap makes a diamond pocket sharpening rod that works pretty well mine sits in a slip sheath along with my SAK Hiker. Also Victorinox used to sell a 3" pocket honing steel which is just as useful as the easylap at rescuing an abused edge .
I just use a victorinox sharpener, just like carrying a pen in my pocket....always there when I need it.
Was für eine Paste haben Sie verwendet, um das Messer ab zu ziehen?

simple sharpener.... 😍👍👍👍
Near the beginning of your video, you used your Swiss Army knife to slice up the sandpaper.
That would dull the tip for sure!

Brilliant idea! What grit for each of the sandpapers?
600 and 1500
Hmm. Looking at my Kershaw Blur now.
I would go with proper stones, for small blade like these a Fällkniven DC4 followed by a CC4 and a strop loaded with 0.1 micron diamond paste
Good video! 👌🏼🇲🇽
Silly. Any stone on the ground will sharpen a knife.
Nice! But what sandpaper did you use?
Wet/dry
Wet and/or dry kind 😂
Great info thanks. Love and peace. Tim
"Perfect Swiss Army Knife sharpening without Special Knife Sharpeners" - then spends most of the video making a special knife sharpeners.
Nice! However, you use a WAY larger angle than the angle this.blades edge bevels come with! PS Tape is a better solution than glue. It will provide a more flat and even surface.
Awesome!
I am using the Victorinox pull through sharpener for my SAKs. Not perfect but alright. My thought....
is that engineers blue you are using please?
Why will they not sharpen on any bench stone?
pretty good video while baked
The most time-consuming methodology? Just buy a small stone.
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
what peeling paste do you use for the knife ?
Any Jewelers rouge or buffing compound will do, try the green compound first.
Thanks Joni. Easy to pack, also 👍
I think it’s Jony.
A sharpening stone will last for your entire life and over several generations after you.
It's a tried and proven method of sharpening a knife. I use it a lot on my knives.
Just buy a Fällkniven DC4 or CC4.
Excellent video - thanks
Infinitely easier than getting a whet rock from the cabinet😏
Well done. Brilliant video. 😊😊
LOL i got clickbaited so hard..
I like it!
Just buy a Norton sharpening stone.
I don’t know…..”The juice is not worth the squeeze” ….to me.
Great diplomacy.
I love your turn of phrase. Wonderful.
Attention span honed on SpongeBob SquarePants was it?
Just put it on one of the 20 wet stones you have in the shed😂😂😂🎉❤
Waste of time Click Bait@
Very good, thanks...
What grade of leather did you use?
Honestly u got to be kidding
If you can afford the knife, you can afford a cheap diamond sharpener
I just spent over $1000 so I could slice threw paper. I wish I would have seen this video sooner.
Jeeezzzusssss! It would be CHEAPER and FASTER to just buy a small diamond file from the same hardware store you got the two sheets of sandpaper, roll of double sided tape, wood strips and glue from! FAIL! LOL
Well for me you have made special tools so I’d rather use victorinox ring sharpener.
just use a couple of grits on the spongey back of a mouse pad and then strop
First showing how dull the knife blade is and then using it to cut stuff with. Totally legit I guess (probably another knife I know, calm down)
очень много лишних приспособлений
очень большой угол, на глазок около 40-45 град. Но может для такого клинка это и норм.
5:30 minute sharpening video…actual sharpening begins around 4 minutes in.
"How to build something using more time and effort and $$$ than buying a little sharpener." Glad I didn't sit through this whole thing.
Very nice! 😎👍🏻
Just buy a sharpener. I’ve got a keychain model that works perfect. This case I’ve got to find and buy: sandpaper, emery cloth, wood slat, glue, tape, blue schitt, ….,,,GL. WTF?
Just look from the other side:
if you have all this at home, you dont have to buy a sharpener ;)
Come on! It's quite handy tip for a fraction of the price!
Just use a brick and some cardboard
Just no🎉😂😂😂
2:50 Super Glue
Too many video cuts
Too believe

Buy a decent sharpener. This is BS
Your reaction is BS. Buy, buy, buy, Why?? If you can and want to make something yourself this video is, amongst others, just fine.
This is an easy, affordable alternative that’s very portable. I’m tempted to make a set for my go bag for field touch up.

@@aarde7036 get a mug, flip it and sharpen blade on it. Much faster and result will be even better that these gimmicks.

"without special sharpeners" ... *Pulls out diamond paste* 😂😂😂
