Переглядів 13 тис.6 років тому
When you sharpen a straight razor it’s important that you use the most acute angle possible. To accomplish this in a Wicked Edge, no matter which model you have, you should try to clamp by the tang of the blade so the edge hangs out over the front of the vise. The abrasives I recommend for straight razors are the following: 1000 grit diamond stone (only if razor is in bad shape) 1500 grit diamo...

Wicked Edge - Sharpening a Hinderer from start to finish
Переглядів 18 тис.6 років тому
startasharpeningservice.com/ I forgot to mention in the video, the sharpening angles were 24 degrees on the right side of the knife, and 21 degrees on the left side of the knife, for an inclusive edge of 45 degrees. I get asked all the time why I don't even them up, to make the angle symmetrical from one side to the other. I do it for two reasons. 1. because I don't like to remove a lot of meta...

    Your also going way to hard hitting the knife with the stones, you let the stones due the work and if you would have a strop, my gosh you would see a massive difference coming from someone who's used the WE for 100s of knives.

    Good practice is to wipe off the blade when you're moving up stones, it helps with scratches and overall sharpness. Jealous of the Gen 3.

    The 1st knife he sharpened simply doesn t slice paper. You can see that it sliced it twice and ripped the paper the other 2 attempts. Pathetic. It should ve sliced that very thick paper with ease. Thinner paper would ve been a joke

    $1,000 a month doesn’t even scratch the surface of this fantastic simple business. I’ve made that in a single day. Not every day but one day I did (over 70 knives.) I regularly make it per week and often more than that in a week. Sometimes much more. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m not mobile. People bring their knives to me at home and business is growing week by week. If it suits you. DO IT!

    I thought you said you didn't profile (make both sides the same)? And, you need to "spread the wealth." That is, don't focus only on one side, if you are starting from scratch, like you indicate. Go a bit on one side, then move to the other. Think about the geometry. Focusing only on one side before going to the other gets you to an angle, but one side can have that very same bevel you commented on, up front.

    Howdy Kyle, just thought I would let you know what I did when my WE130 started making that noise. Just took the jaws apart, cleaned evrything real good with a paper towel and alcohol, then put a very small amount of light oil on my finger, put It on the cam lift and the bottom part of the jaws that ride on it, again I stress, a very small amount, is one tiny drop and then I wipe most of that off,plus I clean it like that about every 10 or 15 knives, or when it starts making noise again. No more noise.

    I totally get how this is good enough for most people, and it’s not worth your time to go further, but, as a knife guy, thinking about the scratch patterns of the combined up and down and side to side strokes makes me cringe, as does lack of checking with magnification to inspect the apex, and be sure there is no feather edge that could be limiting ultimate sharpness. would love to see a close-up of one of these edges as well as bess testing. thanks for showing though how you can do a knife in four minutes, and for the tips on this system

  • @143jeg

    4 minutes or less consistently is impressive! I think the hate you saw was jealousy and admiration. I shoot for 10 or less and even go over that frequently.

  • @Rothbardy
    @Rothbardy Рік тому

    So good. Thanks! I go at least 60-80 passes per stone. 20 doesn’t cut it imo, you’ll see a lot of scratches from lower grits.

  • @paulb322
    @paulb322 Рік тому

    Thanks for the vid .The issue I always seem to have with my WE is I can never get a consistent edge from back to tip . Kinfe will be a razor in the middle then fades at the ends - no matter how I position the knife in the sharpener. And this is even on blades with not much curve to them at all . Very frustrating....
