Thanksgiving is always the busiest time of year, but I never could have expected this. Four years ago I bought the Work Sharp and started sharpening knives in my garage. Word spread and I started offering the service to friends & neighbors. I would drive all around town picking up knives from homes, sharpening them in my garage, then dropping them back off. On my way home one day I stopped by a...

    I just want to say, I've been a freelance web designer for the last 15 years and glued to a screen for a lot longer than that. Turning 50 this month, I knew I needed a change in my life but I wasn't sure what. I'm an active person but sitting in front of a computer was starting to kill me. I've been my own boss for a long time so no problem with starting a new business but I was struggling to come up with something. One night the UA-cam algorithm throws up one of your videos and I swear I was hooked immediately. This was about nine months ago. Long story short, I'm attending a sharpening course here in the UK next month and I'm making a huge change in my life for the better. I genuinely don't think that would have happened if I hadn't seen that video, so thank you! I hope you keep uploading, you are literally a catalyst for me trying to make a better working life for myself. Again, thanks.

    I use a professional machine that comes from a meat processing plant its capable of sharpening hundreds of knives a day with no issue and gets a razor sharp edges that last in about 30-50 seconds if the knife already has that angle or about 2-3 minutes if not. It has a 3 step process where there are 5 wheels on the machine, The first 2 grind each side, the second two hone each side which cleans up the grind, then final one polishes the blade to a mirror shine and removes the root of the burrs and thats it the knife is now razor shaving sharp. Of course for I can also finish off the knife with my Kangaroo Tail strop to get it scary sharp.

    Can you sharpen high carbon, thin geometry, japanese knives with these belt sanders? Or is some steel too brittle and chip-prone for them? I bet for most knives it works fine, but, just wondering about those high Rockwell steels.

    • @itachefitachef6008
      @itachefitachef6008 12 Π³ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ½ Ρ‚ΠΎΠΌΡƒ

      The problem with belt sanders is the high temperature that the friction creates, and in most cases, it will damage the steel permanently.

      @steven_sharpens 12 Π³ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ½ Ρ‚ΠΎΠΌΡƒ

    • @gregmccormack5709
      @gregmccormack5709 12 Π³ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ½ Ρ‚ΠΎΠΌΡƒ

      With a regular high speed belt driven belt sander and standard belts for wood.... definately not unless you are really good and know how to not heat up the steel (or cool it down a bunch). With belt sanders for sharpening with lower rpm and belts that dont generate as much heat..... absolutely. Good belts, a knowledge of pressure required and lower speed. In general 1500-2200 rpm, anything faster and you need to watch out! so standard belt grinders are out. Adjustable units are the best of both worlds but usually are more expensive. Knife makers use 2 x 72 adjustable speed units or water cooled faster speed units for this reason. You can also buy diamond belts for the crazy hard crucible stuff .... I've never bought any of those. With all this in mind a expert or knifemaker could prob use any setup and do a good job getting it sharp.... experience and good knowledge base.

  • @TrollinCrazyRussian
    @TrollinCrazyRussian Π”Π΅Π½ΡŒ Ρ‚ΠΎΠΌΡƒ

    I think those customers doesn't know when their knife is actually dull. It isn't lasting as long as they say if they remotely use it everyday. I have some random decent knives (made in Japan, dexter, Russell) and I can tell the difference after honing edge on ruby stone VS after edge is used to dice up few chicken breast and thur silvers of fats and tendon which is very telling for state of edge. Most kitchen knife steel is in my opinion trash if they done specify exact steel of d2 or equivalent and above and hardness over 58 hrc. Kitchen knife are made for frankly idiots. Compared to nice pocket knife steel for kitchen knife what average chef say are decent are actually absolutely trash. also belt sharpening is fine for plebs but it ruin heat treatment at microscope edge due to speed of belt heating up edge even w light pressure and fast pass. Edge is softer after using belt opposited to wet belt or wet hand sharpened.
