Using a guided stone is fine, though not necessary after one puts in sufficient practice. i have one problem with this video and potentially a second: 1. WD-40 is a poor lubricant for sharpening, it will work for a while but soaks into the stones pores and ultimately gums up, clogging the pores - use a proper lubridant. Traditional wet stones can use either water or a non-gumming oil, but once oil is used even once it will remain in the stone's pores where it will repel water from the surface, so once oil is used it should be used subsequently. Water also works well and with 'Japanese water stones' is the only lubricant that should be used. 2. Take care with the direction of strokes. With fine hard stones such as Arkansas or alumina ceramic, etc., one should stroke against the edge, as if the edge were trying to shave the stone - this is to avoid forming a burr. With water stones and leather strops, stroke with the edge to avoid cutting the softer abrasive surface.
I spent £5 on a Kitchen Devil ceramic knife sharpener. It's a lot easier, more hygienic and safer to use with the added bonus that it takes a lot less work to sharpen my knives. Oh yes... I purchased it over thirty years age and it still works. If that's not value for money then I don't know what is!😊
Mt grandad used a scythe to cut grass. He carried a stone to sharpen it frequently. He said stroke the blade one direction each side. Never rub a stone up and down a blade. I use his advice as he was a countryman. Born 1967 in fact died 1955. I am 76 only but my mother was 42 when I was born so that is how I came to know him doing jobs.
I use sharpening stones that use water as a lubricant, far better than petroleum based products, especially when you intend to use them for food preparation. I also use leather to fine hone a blade-can’t beat it. Interesting video.
it’s not he’s to wash them off when you’re done sharpening. Something that should be done anyways to remove any and all metal and stone particles that may be left in the blade.
I've been a butcher for 30 years and have never needed a contraption like this a belt grinder and a high quality steel is all I've ever needed to keep all my blades like razors..
At home i struggle to keep knives sharpe. I have a sharpening steel, but seeing your "high quality" remark, its dawned on me that mine might be passed its best. It looks great quality, proper wooden handle, very heavy, proper steel, but its getting too smooth i guess. I Inherited it with many things. You know, "that looks too good to throw away" etc. How can i tell if the sharpening steel is high quality, taking into account i'm probably ordering online and your cant always trust reviews. Is there a brand to look for? Above all others, its a butcher i will listen to. You also mention belt grinder.
@hullster9970 I recommend a steel with diamond coat made by Henkels. I've had mine since 1995. Plus Kasco makes the best cutlery grinder I've ever seen. Just be very gentle with it. Bring your edge back and put a bevel on before building your point.

Dann hat man eine saubere, standfeste Fase und spart sich die weiteren Arbeitsgänge.

Nice result. I won´t repeat the comments regarding wet stone and oil. But what should be mentioned is to clean the knife before switching from the rougher to the finer side of the stone. In other case you will bring rougher particles from the stone to the finer one.
Good device you made! Only thing is that it takes up more space, and I enjoy learning how to sharpen a knife on a whetstone the strict japaneese way personally. You also need a stone to make the whetstone flat every now and then, i dont have that yet tho, but going to buy one and keep sharpening knifes, its kinda fun.
@@krielkip There are different types of stone - an oil stone and a wet stone being two examples. A wet stone should be placed in a bowl of water to completely soak it, usually around 10 to 15 minutes, and can then be used to sharpen a knife, wetting it every so often through the process. Using oil on a wet stone will eventually clog it up, rendering it a lot less effective, if not useless.

Good video thanks for sharing . These stones showing are wet stone where they'd be soaked in water for an hour or so . but there are other stones use oil (WD40) as lubricant so your idea is correct as ultimatly it would depend on the stones on hand
I won't call you a liar, but having sharpened knives for 70+ years as well as ruined knives on "quick sharpeners", I'll challenge you any day to a contest.
Hi guys! Cool idea, but WD-40 is a penetrating oil and is made to penetrate metal. It penetrates into rusty bolts and makes them easier to remove. But it stays in the metal. So even after you wipe it off, it is still in the metal. And if you then use that knife on your food, you’re poisoning yourself and your family. Read the warning label. Or just buy a can and experiment by shooting it into your mouth. See how you feel after. That would be an accelerated experiment, but just using that knife will give you trace amounts in your body. Any chef can tell you that it would be better to use olive oils or something else non-toxic. Also once WD-40 is used on your sharpening stone, you should never use it on a kitchen knife again because the toxic oil is so far onto the pours of the stone. Please be careful. . . Best wishes to you all.
Absolutely this... and while I may not be a sharpening guru, I thought that those stones were water stones. Once you use oil on a stone that is all you can ever use since the oils clog the pores... even the non-toxic options. OP, I am NOT hating on the idea. Sharpening freehand is not the only way and isn't for everyone. If there are medical reasons (like wrist issues, or other medical reasons) that make it difficult or impossible for someone to keep a consistent angle while freehanding, then this would be perfect to get around that. Yes other companies sell guided angle sharpening kits, they are almost always using small stone/plates and can take a bit of extra work to get large blades. Using a normal sized stone would make the work go MUCH quicker... and once it is made you don't have to make it again. Also, if some or all of the components are already in your house/garage, it's MUCH cheaper (some kits are 80$ or more). So, bravo for the ingenuity and the practicality in your approach, just PLEASE don't use WD40 for food utensils of any kind, nor the stones they are sharpened on.
Dawn and denatured alcohol will remove oils from most any surface. But I'm still here after drinking from a water hose many, many times. Let's not forget about the heavy metals we consume when eating many types of fish.
@@chuckbolik7060tysm for the information, had a diamond stone where i used wd 40... Because well.. felt like it would be better than my usually thin mineral oil... I'll definitly put alcohol on that stone before next use, maybe i'll try water , as most natural oil tend to gum up After some Times...
This will create a nice and even bevel, very creative tool, respected and appreciated. Probably needs honing to get the best effect. I use the back of Stanley blade, 50 strokes one way at about 70 degrees on the bevel side. Never have to replace knives, scissors, peelers any more in the house. One of best rewarding practices around the house, LOL.
You can get a more accurate angle using any of the Work Sharp devices. They’ve done all the research and spent the money to make knife sharpening so easy!

@@creationholic101 sí, un afilador domestico que se puede comprar en cualquier ferretería XDDD (lástima que no te pueda enviar foto del que uso yo) y con un poco de habilidad (no mucha por cierto) una chiara va de maravilla. Pero; por supuesto, si te apetece entretenerte en hacer manualidades, no seré yo quien lo critique
@BiscuitK... Not really, most people would never learn that quickly and most people would NEVER be as consistent with their angle on the knife blade, doing the sharpening free hand, as they would be, using this device.
This answer sounds very ironic. Hahaha. But a good comment😊 anyway I guess you are welcome to wash the knife after sharpen it with this stupid idea. It could be solved simple instead of all this arrangement for the correct angle.
can't see why you just don't do it by hand? like thats the ways it been done for 1000's of years without issue? honestly your struggling with the screwdriver and considering the fact you could do serious damage with your method and direction of sanding id invest in Kevlar gloves if i was you!
First of all, he IS doing it by hand - he’s simply fixing the angle to make it more repeatable and efficient. Second - the crank powered grindstone has been in use since the 14th century… Fixed angle jigs of all kinds have been used for centuries to get consistent edges on everything from swords to scissors. Japanese style sharpening is not the only method that’s been around forever - humans have been like applying mechanics to grinding/sharpening since the Middle Ages.
Es mucho gasto en armar eso y perdida de tiempo para afilar un simple cuchillo,,no se nesecita más que paciencia y práctica para afilar un cuchillo, "la práctica hace al maestro"
El afilador japones que venden online es caro, pero tu version casera se ve facil de replicar. solo queda reunir los materiales. mi abuelo afilaba lubricando las piedras de afilar con kerosene.
You need to be sure the angle is 20 degrees for most knife grinds. It makes better sense to make the angle bracket where it slides back and forth then use a digital angle finder to set it at 20 degrees ( or whatever degree you want). Once to angle is found, lock the adjustment in place, then hone with the stone. You will need to do the same when you flip the knife over. Instead of using WD40 or oil, I would use water. Not as messy and creates a slurry. Use some quality waterstones.
Hola, muy buen afilador. Desde Argentina te escribo. No me queda claro el ángulo por qué lo medís así y cuál debe ser el ángulo correcto para el afilado. También a qué se ponen las arandelas del borde de la madera. Gracias
Sharpening by quickly moving toward the knife blade and having the stone blocking your view of the blade below... what a wonderful way to cause your viewers to lose a finger. So clever.

@@kennethmcdonald93Did you consider using food grade oil for the stone, instead of a toxic chemical? Lol
Assisti só pra vê-lo montando o gage, cara metódico. Deve ser virginiano. hahahah
Mas vou continuar com meu médoto, ensinado por um filho de barbeiro. E funciona perfeitamente.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and expressing your perspective
Thanks for your video, mate. My hobbyist fortes' are wood turning, scroll-saw work and some hand carving. I live in Queensland, Australia, so we have quite a variety of woods available. With your tool I will be able to get back to my hobby a lot sooner.
Glad you like them!
Yes sir, that indeed is sharp, well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
That is a stone to use with water, not oil....
WD40 is not an oil but a solvent. But there are millions in this world who are subject to this error. 🤭
A 9 minute video on how to sharpen a knife in 1 minute.
You only need to craft it once, the next grinding takes less than 1 minute
I was gonna say he showing us how to build a tool that's yours to keep for next knife to sharpen right for me it's hard to keep that exact angle straight now imma build one of these I have a lot of knives around to sharpen now thanks for the video brother Man this is very helpful to a lot of us.
Keep your head up and have a blessed day 🙏
Thanks 👍👍👍 I’m willing to do it
Glad you like them!
SUPER CLEVER ! Great thinking on this one....
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the idea! 😊
so many other solutions that are easier, safer and quicker
Can you share more about them?
@@creationholic101 sí, un afilador domestico que se puede comprar en cualquier ferretería XDDD (lástima que no te pueda enviar foto del que uso yo) y con un poco de habilidad (no mucha por cierto) una chiara va de maravilla. Pero; por supuesto, si te apetece entretenerte en hacer manualidades, no seré yo quien lo critique
Now my tomatoes taste like WD40 ;-)
You are truly a person with a sense of humor. I burst out laughing when I read this comment. Wishing you a joyful day!
Wiesz co to jest woda I srodki do mycia naczyn ?
Haha ... I'm chuckling
I'm not building all this just to sharpen a knife.
By the time he made that third cut on the paper on the beginning of the vid I already have my knife sharpened on a regular sharpener 😂
First, use a great steel for your knife. Crucible 90 is great.
What a Muppet using a wetstone with wd40 water repellant lubricant 🤦♂️
need to see this
От пяты 😊 к острию
What program did you use on your phone to measure the angle ?
You can search in app store with the name " Measure"
Wow, some scientific method!
Thank you! Cheers!
He could have learned free hand sharpening in the same amount of time given he already has the stone.
My technique wasn't good, so I created it
@BiscuitK... Not really, most people would never learn that quickly and most people would NEVER be as consistent with their angle on the knife blade, doing the sharpening free hand, as they would be, using this device.
great, now my food tasted better with WD40.
This answer sounds very ironic. Hahaha. But a good comment😊 anyway I guess you are welcome to wash the knife after sharpen it with this stupid idea. It could be solved simple instead of all this arrangement for the correct angle.
Do you know soap and water???
@@henriquevandeursen1506 yes ofcourse😊
Fish oil attracts me too!
Thank you for watching
How many anonymous scientists exist to make life easier for humanity. Thank you!
They are called CHEFS with KNIVES. Knife sharpening is not a 'new' science dude!
He's showing you how to wear out a knife.
@@musicman4635 These people crack me up, I bet they all love Enron Musk.
I wondered where you were going with this for a while, but a cool idea to get a curved blade sharpener
Thank you for sharing your feedback and expressing your perspective
good job 👌👍
Thank you so much 😀
That knife sharpener is a bit sketchy, pushing toward the razor blade!,, 😮
Thanks for the feedback! Always use caution when sharpening knives, and make sure to follow safety steps. 😊
Q. What kind of person would build this?
A. Someone with waaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.
Thank you for watching
can't see why you just don't do it by hand? like thats the ways it been done for 1000's of years without issue? honestly your struggling with the screwdriver and considering the fact you could do serious damage with your method and direction of sanding id invest in Kevlar gloves if i was you!
First of all, he IS doing it by hand - he’s simply fixing the angle to make it more repeatable and efficient. Second - the crank powered grindstone has been in use since the 14th century… Fixed angle jigs of all kinds have been used for centuries to get consistent edges on everything from swords to scissors. Japanese style sharpening is not the only method that’s been around forever - humans have been like applying mechanics to grinding/sharpening since the Middle Ages.
If you want a straight true edge, this is how it is done!
My technique wasn't great, so I created it
Oh, this method is also good, very quick. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
That's a Great Idea. Thank You
You are welcome!
Es mucho gasto en armar eso y perdida de tiempo para afilar un simple cuchillo,,no se nesecita más que paciencia y práctica para afilar un cuchillo, "la práctica hace al maestro"
Thank you! Cheers!
This video is a windup definitely 😂 what the hell! All this work to sharpen my knife! I will go and buy new one easier 😂
You only need to craft it once, the next grinding takes less than 1 minute
El afilador japones que venden online es caro, pero tu version casera se ve facil de replicar. solo queda reunir los materiales. mi abuelo afilaba lubricando las piedras de afilar con kerosene.
Yes, it's quite easy to do, try it and feel it
You made in 10 minutes videos, but it could last 30 seconds.
😂, or take a electric grinder no?
Hu
Agree!
After creating the knife sharpener, the next sharpening takes less than 1 minute to sharpen it
El soporte del cuchillo también puede ser con imanes de neodimio da muy buen resultado.
too much work
After creating the knife sharpener, the next sharpening takes less than 1 minute to sharpen it
1 minute - !?

Hello! I am glad you like this ideas. Wishing you all good things!
Excelente vídeo amigo, muchas gracias por su tiempo y dedicacion.
chapusa compicada jajaja
Thank you! Cheers!
You need to be sure the angle is 20 degrees for most knife grinds. It makes better sense to make the angle bracket where it slides back and forth then use a digital angle finder to set it at 20 degrees ( or whatever degree you want). Once to angle is found, lock the adjustment in place, then hone with the stone. You will need to do the same when you flip the knife over. Instead of using WD40 or oil, I would use water. Not as messy and creates a slurry. Use some quality waterstones.
Thank you for the great suggestions on sharpening technique! I'll definitely try that!
you are fantastic!!! thanks a lot
Glad it helped!
Hola, muy buen afilador. Desde Argentina te escribo. No me queda claro el ángulo por qué lo medís así y cuál debe ser el ángulo correcto para el afilado. También a qué se ponen las arandelas del borde de la madera. Gracias
knife sharpening angle 15-22 degrees
Thank you
Excelente gracias por tan ingeniosa idea
Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful!

まさにコロンブスの玉子的発想
シンプルなんだけどすごく理にかなってる。
こまかな改良の余地はありそうですが、こういう機材売ったら絶対売れると思う。
Thank you! Cheers!
Sharpening by quickly moving toward the knife blade and having the stone blocking your view of the blade below... what a wonderful way to cause your viewers to lose a finger. So clever.
Hello! thanks for your comment. Wish you all the best!
Excellent ; génialissime ! simple et tellement efficace ! merci !
Merci beaucoup ! Je suis ravi que cela vous ait été utile.
Brilliant.
I will build one tomorrow....
Good luck!
the most amazing creator
BRAVISSIMO !!!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
pero depende del alto del cuchillo se modifica el ángulo si no me equivoco (que es muy posible) o no?
You can change the knife sharpening angle with the holes
pero siempre tiene que ser de 21 grados?
Great tool!
I’m from Belgium 👌
Glad you like them!
happy you, happy all us.
Thank you! It’s all about sharing happiness and useful tips!
great i have to try that soon
Thanks! I hope you find it helpful when you try it out!"
I know it's not the best way but I just love low tech stuff so I love it!
That's great to hear! Sometimes simplicity is key!
