Sharpening, is all about precision, perfection and ability to make things perfectly even. What you do to one side, is exactly what you have to do to the other side of the edge. Common mistakes, are: Puting way more pressure on the blade and also not across all the blade, but most people, put their fingers, only on some parts of the blade, which produces uneven sharpening and shange of sharpening angles along the edge. Watch experienced Japanese people, and never try to do things, as fast as they do. Sharpening is 70% experience,20% gear and 10% patience. The higher the grit the more times you multiply the passes. Stropping is also very wtong on most UA-cam videos, they don't' understand angles and the precision it needs, for stropping ot actually work properly. Another very common mistake, is oversharpening and overconvexing the edges.
Jason at 9.25 "We're going home tomorrow and this is going to be a home made sling shot for Alan who's 9'7" with a slouch". 🤣🤣🤣 Good video Jason. I thought my legs glowed in the dark.... 😳
Well done sir, I usually only need to touch up my blades w a ceramic rod but when I need more its my DC4 all the way. Excellent vid , thank you brother, stay safe, Be blessed
Consistency is key and Scandi’s are by far the easiest to sharpen . One tip for beginners is to color the edge bevel with a sharpie so you can easily see if you’re holding the correct angle while moving across the stone .
I was never an expert knife sharpener when it comes to non guided stones. I sure like your method and it makes more sense, giving me the confidence I need. I had a Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker, but wanted a more compact kit. Thanks for the great video and tips. Keep makin videos and we’ll watch’em!! 👍👍😁🇺🇸
And don't forget that the type of edge that you'll need will be dictated by what your cutting... you may want more of a saw edge which will last of your doing a lot of filleting... because of the scales .. which can dull a razor edge fairly quickly depending on the size and thickness of the scales.
This was the best sharpening video I've seen. You made it so perfectly comprehensible.
As an explorer scout many many years ago we collected broken electrical insulators along train tracks use for knife sharpening.
