A knife sharpened 20 degrees on each side won't cut? Thats a great edge for most knives. Durable edge and razor sharp. A 10 degree edge while sharp, will not hold up in use
Right Brad Buckner is a used car salesman
What you should have done is to offer for the guy to send his "destroyed" knife to you and then show us, in great detail, how your sharpener can fix the blade.
That sounds both fair and honest.. ⚖️❤️🙏
Fair, absolutely
Well, that also has to do with what did the blade look like when he started. Did he deliberately chew the blade up. And what did he deliberately do with a Sharpener to make the blade look worse. So are there some variables? Yep.
I thought the same thing
They probably mean 45 degrees inclusive.. or all together, 22.5 each side. Which will cut... For a little while. It's more of a heavy chopper angle in my opinion
Carbide sharpeners are for people that don't respect their blades. Maybe its because I'm a chef and make a living with my blades.
Nope its cause you care about your tools plus imo carbide has little to no need in the sharpening world anymore since we have diamond stones of different grits now i only use ceramics and diamond stones for sharpening the only use for carbide sharpeners imo is in the trash.
I would never let this guy near even my shittiest knife lol
Just take out a 60 dollar knife destroy the edge and put the edge back on it. Then prove it to the user that is disappointed, instead of sharpening a kitchen knife.
He can’t this product and his attitude is trash
Agree
he "sharpened" a sharp knife lol
If you didn't want to talk about tungsten carbide knife sharpeners, he'd be a nightmare to run into at the bar 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the comment. But I got to say that we allllll know some people out there are so FREKIN STUPID and zero sense. That you have to explain yourself 10 different ways, hoping that 1 explanation can get through that hard head of theirs.. he can get through 10 heads because he said it 121 different ways... bahahaha
Carbide scrapers are fantastic for sharpening a firesteel. But they're also a horrible, horrible thing to do to a knife. Yes, they will remove steel. They will remove steel far, far too fast and in a chattery manner leaving all kinds of ugly scratches. Don't ever torture your blades by using one of these things.
Also, 20 degrees to a side is certainly fairly broad, but if you have a *well* sharpened knife at 20 degrees per side, it will definitely cut. I don't doubt that it won't work if you use some carbide scraper horror show to do it though.
10 degrees per side (20 degrees total) - it just works... Show us How you sharpen knives. Can you send us some videos? - we'll share it with our 33,000 followers.
@@SharpensBest I somehow doubt you'd be thrilled to post videos of me using a Work Sharp Ken Onion edition on your page shilling cheap carbide sharpeners. 10 degrees per side is certainly a wicked sharp edge... and one that only premium blade steels are going to be able to hold for any length of time without rolling over. That's pretty steep for even AUS8 or 440C. It ought to be a crime to use a carbide sharpener on any knife more expensive than a Buck 110. If someone used one on my Sebenza, I'd have to start looking for a place to hide the body.
Tell you what, why don't you send me one of your sharpeners for T&E? I'll be happy to post a video highlighting the kind of nasty damage they can do to an edge and what kind of work it takes to repair it with decent sharpening equipment. (But no, I will not be demoing it on a $500 knife.)
Agent ur the only one here that actually understands knives and sharpening. Screw carbide sharpeners.
Lasnky also has an carbide sharpener for field repairs. I think that's what carbide sharpeners are made for. Quick instant sharpening whenever you need.
@@Jung_Tae_Hun No, that's what ceramic sharpeners are for. Carbide scrapers leave nasty deep gouges in your blade that are difficult to repair later.
I bought one and have used it for a month now. I had a few questions about using it on my karambits when I first received it. When I called the tele number on the sharpener’s handle he really answered. He responded to texts also.
Review: For me it’s the best sharpener I have. It’s effective and a good value. I’m comparing it to other sharpeners I have, the kind where I have to drag the blades through different sharpening slots.
Do’s-Don’t do’s: Don’t put too much pressure downwards when you are resharpening an already nearly sharp blade. When the blade is almost ready only drag the sharpener across the blade edge with no downward pressure. The weight of the sharpener will be enough to finish it to razor sharpness.
*If you use too much pressure you’ll only round the blade by forcing a lip on outer sides of blade. Take your time, many strokes with very light pressure.
Do’s: Practice on some of your junk knives before using it on your $100 knife. Although it’s pretty intuitive to use you will need to learn how much pressure and correct angles to use when sharpening the blade.
That one side that has the V sharpening slit is good to use first to reshape the edge.
Be patient when sharpening. Remember, you can always take more off, but you can’t put more on.
G. Casey so very well said. Thank you for being honest and accurate. Thank you for watching.
I did, I did, I really did. Thank you.
I'm with David that's a piece of crap..
Every knife guy knows to not use pull through sharpeners lol… they work for crappy knifes
20degree edges wont cut because its too thick??? What?
If you believe in your product so much, you should either show them how to properly use it or have a 100% guarantee on your product or money back not sit there and make fun of people that are giving you money so you can live your lifestyle
agree would never buy from this guy customer always right is good 4 business
What more do you expect from a Trump supporter?
I have to be honest here. I'm a wetstone and strop guy. Id never replace my wetstones and strop with a carbite sharpener. With that being said this particular sharpener looks pretty good. I may pick a couple of these up. One for my bug out bag and another for camping/backpacking. You dont really want to carry 2 or 3 wetstones in a ruck. This seems like a good lightweight option that doesn't take up a bunch of space.
They have foldable diamond stones nowadays.. I used them at work for our machine circular blades.
One small stone will do plenty for survival, and there are small diamond ones with multiple grits too
@@chrism4008 yeah I know I just figured this is probably just as good. I carry a relatively big fixed blade (Becker bk2) and I can't stand sharpening it with a small stone.
I have 3 of these. They work well. Sharpens my Spyderco and my Benchmade Bugout just fine.
'THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO SHARPEN A QUALITY BLADE'.....or any blade for that matter.
This really helped. I too was very frustrated when I got my sharpener and for the life of me, could not get a good edge. But after watching this video I think I finally got it. There really is a technique to it. And it takes practice to get good it. I dulled many knives with it before I finally got the technique down.
Haha , i sharpen my knives using 20 degrees each side….”good luck, thats not going to cut anything “!!!
I guess 90% of knife manufacturers have been completely wrong! Lol
This guy has know clue what he’s talking about.
You are correct about him not knowing anything but he did say 20each side which is 40° and that is a pretty bad angle 20 total is the average 10° each side but ya he is a snake oil salesman scamming people and destroying knives every day
He’s selling junk. You got to take your time and actually learn to sharpen correctly with a stone.
Get the Lansky Turn Block, it’s very easy to use and will put a hair whittling edge on a knife.
Sad thing is the customer really does think his knives are ruined. When i first started learning how to sharpen I was terrible and thought I ruined a couple of the knives myself. The edge was so dull I was so frustrated sitting there for a couple hours trying to fix it. With enough practice and money spend on different sharpening systems I was finally able to consistently put a hair popping edge back on. So to anyone searching sharpening videos frustrated like I was dont give up and try different angles and apply different pressure. Eventually it will just click. Find what sharpening system works for you I personally am terrible at whetstones but can sharpen on a diamond stone and ceramic rod. But stay away from those electric sharpeners being able to sharpen by hand is a valuable and rewarding skill to have.
The only way to completely ruin a knife is to melt it into a puddle. Any edge can be restored and even a broken tip csn be reprofiled. Took me forever but I managed to fix mine that way
@@johnsonjj117 actually if you overheat your knife, you essentially ruined the heat treat which basically makes your knife worthless.
@@AlexanderMason1 yeah, that is true. Guess not everyone has the means to heat treat at home. For smaller blades I sometimes use a small propane torch
Hey I like that you don't try to cave and please , you are straight forward. Hard to please everyone. I just ordered mine and can't wait to get it. I won't be as good as you but I'll get good!!!
I've never used a sharpens best but I have a speedy sharp and there was a learning curve for sure I recently saw a video of the sharpens best poker chip and was interested in purchasing one however they are currently out of stock but I'm a believer in using a tungsten carbide sharpener when stones are not available and you need to put a quick edge back on you knife
GET ONE NOW at www.SharpensBest.com
I have had nothing but great success with the sharp and spark that I bought several years ago and use on all my knives. I did screw up the edge on the first knife I tried to sharpen but it was operator error on my part, I did not alternate the angle of the sharpener and it made the edge kind of wavy, but guess what? I re-watched your instructions, figured out what I was doing wrong and then fixed the edge issue! Great sharpener, love using it!
He designed it to work really fast so he could get back to running the tilt-a-whirl
😂😂🎉
🤣🤣🤣
I can sharpen knifes, I'm a meat cutter.But I still have a shop sharpen them for me,take only 5 minutes per blade.Its more that I get to talk to some good people that have to make a living to.I always leave happy.
Get around a 400 grit diamond sharpening stone, a set of whet stones that go up to 8000 grit, a leather strop and some practice and patience and you'll have a crazy sharp knife. carbide ones have their place, like out in the woods and your pocket folder is dull, but i wouldnt use them on any of my higher end bush knifes.
The real question is, how low a score can you get on the Brubacher (BESS) scale using one of these.
This guy could sharpen a cue ball....
anthony rondolino thank you.
I did..... It was so sharp it cut through the fabric of time and space and I lost it.
OK, silly question for the pros. Is the "V" of this tool sharpening the knife and the Flat 90-degree bar cleaning it up? What part of the sharpening process is each side of the Sharp best tool doing? Thanks.
At 5:20 i see a big chunk broken off our left side of the carbide. And later when you show us how it cuts finger nails its another sharpener with little wear on the plastic only. I bought a chip and i cant seem to get any blade shape super sharp. Ive been surprised by my progress but i cant get that razor sharp edge.
it is a poor master who blames his tools
And a poor salesman who blames his customers.
@@MrMZaccone very true
When I first got it and used it my knives just got duller,until I learned how to use it, start off with not too much pressure,and check your angle. Once I lightened up on the amount of pressure I was exerting on the blade, my blade got super sharp. Even tonight, I went to sharpen my blade, and I nicked myself and it was like getting cut with a scalpel. I always finish it up with a strop on my leather
I've only seen a couple of Sharpens Best videos, so I'm not really qualified to judge this situation best, but from what I could see, the thing worked. I mean, it was a one cut video and the knife went from ripping through a bubble lined envelope, to CUTTING through the same envelope. Personally I just use a DC4 and a CC4 stone with a fine ceramic rod, and I got my pocket knife 🔪 back to shaving sharp. That's 40 strokes each blade side, on four stone sides plus a rod, and takes about the same amount of time Sharpens Best brought back the kitchen blade in with his one sharpener edge. So, I would consider that proof it works.
I use the same combo works great
the most useful tool is a well-sharpened knife. The most dangerous? A dull one.
I have 3. They all work. The first one I bought had a manufacturing defect. The V notch was just spaced too far apart and wouldn’t catch the blade no matter how thick of a blade you tried, but the other part did what it’s supposed to do. So I bought 2 more. Those 2 the V notch was fine. I could re shape and blade or whatever I need to do.
the way you are holding the sharpening tool is the best but if the flat side of the carbide does shave metal i will be tempted to hold the tool opposite to the edge of the knife
Could you possibly put a little bit of plastic like a nub towards the handle that would let you glide the nub over the flat part of the blade to force a 10° angle all the time? Because if you could make some sort of guide built in like that I feel it would go a long way to help people not destroy thier own blades from not using it correctly.
If you want to establish and maintain a good clientele, the first thing you want out of your vocabulary when referring to your clients are terms like “operator’s error”, “you were not paying attention”, “you are not fooling anyone”, or any other condescending treatment towards those who are supporting your business. A more proper way would be, “I’m so sorry my product seems not to work for you; well, if you allow me, I will review how to use my ‘Sharpens Best’ product (so you can give it another try). Your satisfaction of the product is important to us, so let me offer you a few tips for you to give it a try…”.
I suggest never to treat your customers condescendingly! By the way, the nice handwriting on the note looks like an Architect font.
Dude, I don't think he cares what his clients think, pretty obviously a no nonsense doesn't care about your feelings kind of guy 😂
I’ve sharpened many knives 20 degrees a side that cut just fine. I usually do them somewhere between 15-18 a side but you can definitely get a knife to be very very sharp at 20 degrees a side. That’s using a fixed angle knife sharpener so I know what the angles degree is.
Hello sir they just don't know how to use it can you tell me how to acquire one it looks like it's quick and fast to sharpen up especially a Bowie knife which I haven't found any sharpeners that'll work because of the size of the Bowie knife tell me where to buy your product I would really appreciate it thank you 👍
Hey Fans! Pick up a Sharpener at www.SharpensBest.com
I sharpen most of my knives at 20-25 degrees and they’re all under 120 bess . Not sure what the “they’re just too thick” was all about lol
I have one on the way. What is the best way to practice using the tool, before laying it down on a favorite or expensive knife? I guess just a cheap knife? Or is there another way to practice and perfect?
I truly appreciate that you post your haters remarks says allot about you. I’ve watched a bunch of your videos I’m just not sure I’m capable as it appears these take allot of skill? As for someone saying your product ruined they’re knife that’s completely ridiculous because even a damaged edge can be repaired if that’s the case.
I just bought the poker chip sharpened and I’m really excited to be able to use it
By that hand writing I’d say he’s a tagger
I saw your demonstration at the last gun show in Honolulu, and this thing is great for a quick and dirty edge on dull knives or cheap steel. If that guy is thinking it would give a mirror polished edge on some super steel, and could whittle hair, he is just an idiot. It is a good design and serves a purpose, but it is not a KME, Lansky, or a Wicked Edge, and never will be. It will also never give the same result as a set of Japanese whetstones, worked down to 10,000 grit and finished on a leather strop with compound. He should just pay someone to sharpen his blades if he doesn't know what he is doing.
Thank you for watching. If the cover crap goes on I will surely miss the Hawaii shows. YOU people are just the greatest. I just love the camaraderie and interactions with you all. Aloha. Mahalo.
I just received mine in the mail, it took forever to get here but it sharpened better in 5 swipes than 40 swipes on the 2 different grit wet stone I have downstairs, got a nice burr, love it
Did you get all that DAVID,YOU SOULD APOLOGIZE AND ASK FOR YOUR SHARPENER BACK ,,AND SAY THANK YOU.
You are right about that
Don't know how this ended up on my recommended watch list, I sharpen with whetstones, depending on the needs, I typically use a 400g > 1000g > 2000g > 5000g > 10,000g > lapping films starting at 1 micron > .5 micron > .1 micron > strop with a .1 micron paste, then bare leather. This is just showing off really, it changes dramatically depending on the use of the knife, my cutlery doesn't go that far, otherwise you'll lose the bite they need.
This tool will never attain an edge better than a 1000g, whether it's stone, diamond, glass, whatever. This tool however is perfect for having it with you at all times, and bringing an edge back to functional again. I may have all the stones, pastes/compounds, strops, etc., but you'll never find anyone who regularly cares any of it with them. That being said, there are some other nice options that are slightly bulkier, but come with a couple of diamond plates, ceramic honing rods and a leather strop, which would perform better than a singular tungsten carbide sharpener. But the layman doesn't care about all that, this is a much simpler, cheaper, and space-friendly option.
TLDR: People just need to temper their expectations of what this is capable of, it's not going to out-perform even a solo 1000g stone if you know what you're doing, it requires far less technique and almost no maintenance, but still has a learning curve.
Bought one of these a couple years ago. I found out that it does put those railroad tracks on the knife edge very easily. I like clean crisp edges with no waves, so it isn’t for me. But, it is one of the best scissor sharpeners I have ever used!
Peyton and Hayden so very true. Thank you.
Its not the tool its the user
User... Looser.. Doozer...
Interesting attitude regarding customers, but despite the condescending and disrespectful tone, there were some good tips. I am still interested in your product, and I now 'get' that the transaction ends there. I would love to see a playlist of basic training, just the training. You are an expert and I would love to learn from you!
Says 20 degree angle won't cut, that's what most high end knives are sharpened on. Also says he uses 10 degrees. The edge would roll over easily, he has no clue what he's talking about
You sent me one for free and I love it so much I can push cut my post open thank you brad👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'd describe that more as a "knife whitler" and I'd never use it on a good knife, or even on a $1.25 Dollar Tree knife... but that's me. I'll stick to a diamond plate ($22), and building the skill to sharpen properly. That said, I'm sure the carbide does whittle the edge of the blade away, as it is intended to do.
The only problem I've ever had with your sharpeners is that I lose them all the damn time. When you find one in my pocket, you can bet the knife in the same pocket is SHARP!! Thanks again Brad!
Ooooh. That is a problem. We'll hit the drawing board and see if we can re-design it and come up with a 'no loss' mold for our sharpeners. Check us out at www.SharpensBest.com
@@SharpensBest pocket clip? so it will always be with your blade
Put a beeper or gps on or in it so when it gets lost u can hit the beeper & find it or use the gps to locate it 😂😂😂😂
Bro, same I loose them all the time lol.
Too many People feel that they can move quickly and without thought or care with a Tool because another has done it in a Video. If I used a Steel/Hone like Gordon Ramsey my knife would be dull. If I tried to use this sharpener as fast as the creator who uses it all the time, my knife would be dull. Stone, Hone, Steel, Rock..... all require basic understanding of the tool and angles to achieve a good result. Good Video with explanation of whats needed to use your product.
So very true my friend. Thank you.
"No Edge" sounds to me "no skill" gotta LEARN how to sharpen
this guy needs to admit defeat and come up with a new product we need gordon ramsey of knife sharpening on him
I got a couple of these sharpeners. There not bad!! If it doesn't work, it because of operated error.
Can you make a review of a Bushcraft knife on making a feather sticks after sharpening it. Coz I want to know if it is good for field backup. Looking forward for your other videos. God bless.
why not just get a wetstone thats proven over the years to give you a razor edge all you need is a small one with two grits on each side i do have the sharpens best sharpener but doesnt even come close to the wetstones and iv used it for years
After several years of use and hundreds of sharpened objects- knives scissors,axes,wood planes,lathe tools, and lawn mowers my sharp- n-spark is still working perfect. My top tip is to pay attention to what Brad says and then get some old kitchen knives and get your technique sorted before destroying your treasured knives! You learn a lot and keep the wife happy with lovely sharp knives.
In my humble opinion one possible area where misunderstanding may creep in is the initial perception of the simplicity of the design and Brads easy going,calm,light hearted nature and super slick skills that make him look like he is not trying! Don't let any of this fool you! The sharpener is a masterpiece of design, its simple looks cleverly hide some real inspired design. Brad is using real discipline in his technique, watch his hands carefully,his body position and where he is looking. The hardener has to be used with perfected technique and this comes from disciplined practice. As for Brads light hearted,comedic and sometimes slightly flippant style? Well he is a natural showman and entertainer and all the better for it! Practice practice practice!!!
Andrew Wilson Andrew! Could not have said it better. Thank you. Have a great day 👍👍👍👍👍👍🍕🍺🍺🍺🍦
Sharpens Best Very Very well said. Great job. Have a great evening. 🙏🤗🤗🤗
So true
Completely fake…..
no it defiantly works good. i tested it on the crappiest knife could find and it worked amazing. but i highly doubt you could sharpen lawn mower blades with this@@danielroberts7627
how is this different than a sharpening steel (not talking about the fire starter of course)? Does it just straighten out the burr?
David R No, it actually cuts a microscopic dust off the blade.
So how does a convex grind cut. It’s greater than 20 degrees?
You can sharpen with a brick, but i wouldn't.
I can see it works well just takes practice best to get a couple old knives and learn on them before using it on good knives great video may have to purchase one of these
Might have to get myself one of those. Looks really easy to use and my kitchen knives are in sad sad shape.
Im just frustrated because I can’t find anywhere to buy any of the models! Im happy you are doing well, but I want to buy one too 😢
This sharpener might work, but if you care about the appearance of your knife this will ruin it. As a knife enthusiast and knife collector i would never let a sharpener like this touch one of my blades.
I’ve had a few kershaw knifes and never liked them always had problems keeping them sharp case and cold steel easy to sharpen and hold a edge way better
Hi....i am from Malaysia...Borneo island to be exact....I must say your product is awesome.....
Did you get one? How are you doing today. Thank you for watching.
It's like a cabinet scraper for metal. No matter how smooth sandpaper (stones) you use cabinet scraper will always give smoother surface.
I've used these, and stones are way better and give a mirror polish with a fine grit and a leather strop
There is a risk of getting shatter marks or waves on to the edge when scraping with tungsten carbide. It's ok for survival purposes but i would always prefere stones to a tungsten carbide scrape.
Will this work on hi end super steels like s35vn and m390 ??
I'm a little late...😂 But the video is absolutely fantastic! Lol!
I just got mine and in 3 seconds was successfully sharpening my knives and scissors. Some people just don't have the feel to know how to use things correctly. This product is fantastic. I don't even want to touch the edge of my hunting knife for fear of slicing myself.
Generally, these tungsten carbide sharpeners do work but offer marginal improvements, i.e. good for a really bad, dull, damaged edge. Specifically the V-cutter, which is good for establishing the correct 21-degree angle. (10.5 degrees on each side). is useful, but doesn't usually provide the sharpness to cut paper.
This is the first sharpener I've seen that offers a flat, 90-degree tungsten edge, but when he's using it's supported on his leg, with the edge facing up, with his hand really close to the blade as he strokes back and forth. I have a V-sharpener that has a course and fine cutter but is made so the edge of the knife points down, so the hands are not in the cutting path of the blade edge. With people used to working with knives, I don't see it as a problem so much, but with general distribution, many people ordering the device don't have the skill level. We see that all the time with firearms.
I think these devices are made in bulk by the manufacturer, many times in China. So, any complaints or requests for refunds because of lost parts can easily be made with no questions asked. I would imagine that most customers are happy with their purchase and have no problems. I can't really comment on the effectiveness of using the flat, 90-degree edge to hone the blade, but it seems to be effective to hone the edge. I don't think it's necessary to make a video disparaging the user, but possibly just make one on how to properly use the sharpener. I think you are right, that most people try to sharpen at a 90-degree total angle.
cathode follower it doesn’t work that great. They act like it’s a miracle sharpener. Put under a microscope you will probably see a jagged edge that cuts. But not like a factory edge. Ceramic sticks and leather restore the edge far better than this. If the edge is destroyed, then this tool will help.
@@unknowmysteries5925 Sorry you haven't figured out how to use it correctly. Keep trying. You WILL figure it out..
@@unknowmysteries5925 Good point. I would love to see the edge under a microscope.
I free hand sharpen on stones and it’s an art . This is good for ppl who can’t really sharpen
21 degrees inclusive? That would be an extremely delicate edge. Even 15° per side is really pushing it for most steels/primary grind geometries
How are you keeping the same degree of angle and not rounding the edge? There is no way this is a precision edge when your flipping the knife back and forth that fast.
With all due respect - a sharpener of this type will work, but it will chew up the blade over time. If you have decent knives - you are better off buying a propper sharpening set with a propper bevel guide. I would never use a sharpener like this on my expensive kitchen knives or pocket knives….. but as always… to each his own…..
Yup carbide is a good way to ruin the longevity of any knife and when other sharpeners exist and especially when diamond coated ones exist there's no excuse to use carbide plain and simple.
@@Horde334 - yep, agreed. I use the lansky stones and they give a great consistant edge and polish for a shaving sharp knive every time…
I have a couple of these on the way to me…I hope I get the feel of how to use the tool. Mostly just touch up use.
Yes, its operator error. I just bought a Sharpal all in one, and this thing is amazing. Your tool is a better one for camping and outdoors, with the fire starter. But I watched their video three times before using it, and then when I used it, I got better as I sharpened different blades and tools.[Saw many videos of people that were demonstrate how to use it, that were plain wrong. My skill level gets better every time I use it. After three days of owning this sharpener, I now have razor sharp shears, scissors, kitchen, steak and table knives, meat cleavers and tree loping tools, and its so easy to create the edge, with a few pulls through the sharpener, a maximum of 6 pulls. not the many strokes you show. But you have to pay attention to the angles. You need to build your skill level.
I’d think this more of a strop. It’ll remove metal like a leather strop. It does what it says, it will sharpen your knives
If i use it daily ...how long does the fire starter will last? Months?
You can't fix stupid, you can but it's illegal.
Dan az how is fixing illegal?
I just bought the poker chip kind. Watched you sharpen that knife and well my benchmade knife is razor sharp. Thanks for the sharpener ! Just wish i would have bought the one with the v neck.
So, after about 16 minutes you say you get somekind of serrated edge.. Thats what I get.. But just wen using v-noch first... The knife gets verry sharp, but edge is not verry nice...
For me, your sharpener is more of an emergency sharpener and a good tool to have in my toolbox, under the seat of my motorcycle and on my keys...
Nice... what are your thoughts on using a leather belt or something to fine tune it
Well that shows how smart David was by him buying kershaw knives 😂😂😂
Lol. Ouch
An "$80" Kershaw no less...
1k, 3k, 6 and 12k resin bonded diamond stones. Fällkniven CC4 with 1micron diamond paste on the sheath for field maintenance. This is for laymen
It is about learning the technique.... why rushing to blaming the sharpener... With experience you can sharpen a knife with a nailfile, mug, wrench, wet stone, river stone, steel rod, sand paper, knife against knife, ceramic... the back of a hacksaw... and of course tungsten carbide pieces...
I dunno man it just seems like a gimmick. There are plenty of knife sharpeners in this style with the tungsten carbide and a v-notch (and for a lot cheaper price). I've used a few but I'll always use a DC3 and it's still holding up.
When the guy who’s disappointed doesn’t know how to sharpen knives
what is the difference between this and many other v sharpeners like this, I would like to try it
Won't cut at 45° on each side but yet your sharpener cuts your nail at the same degree? does that make your nail-cutting test pointless?
also, you can have a blade that is a square and it will cut paper like a razor if and I stress if, the blade thickness after the squared off point is thin, very thin. think .08 thin
Honestly, I had the same problem. Was not too impressed. Watched this video...30 seconds later my Gerber pocket knife glides through paper. Nice! Thanks much.
I'm interested in buying a sharpener, but now I'm afraid I won't know how to use it correctly. What's the right way to learn? Is there a video?
I need one of these
Got it today and still working on getting the blade sharpened I’m a very impatient man but I got it because I know it would work bad ass but ik im doing something wrong just need to practice more

Made a 5 minute video into 25 because he really wanted to trash talk a customer.
What a marvelous advertisement plan
I'm sure they meant 45 inclusive.
22.5 degrees would be a bush blades edge, wouldnt suit a chefs knife
Whe he says microscopic has he ever viewed sharpened surface under microscope really clears a lot of stuff up as you go
I bought things like this and it works for cheaper softer knives Doesn't really sharpen the knife it kind of rips the edge so if you have softer steel it'll work But if you really want to sharpen your knives I would stick with a stone or rods Like the spiderco knife sharpener
Ive got to say if the product is coming apart after normal use, its a design flaw not a customers fault. Especially if you say multiple people have had that experience. There's ways to combat the loosening of a thread. Maybe you should improve your product...
For a little less get the speedy sharp. It's made in the USA 🇺🇸 we carry them on job sites all the time to keep our utility blades, hatchet, and pocket knives razor sharp. Very simple tool.

Only think I sharpen at 20° is axes and things I want a more robust edge on so the edge last longer
