Do you not have a physical shop?
The stones with the edge pro are actually industrial mold polishing strips, they are available in a huge range of grits and hardness, widths and thicknesses. ie I can get the medium firm cutting behavior of the 400 in an 800 or the fast cut of the grey 120 [silicon carbide, soft bond] but in eg 320, or a get hard bond coarse stone to set a crisp angle following a bulk thinning grind with the soft-fast 120.... for examples(I have not purchased from these companies), Congress Polishing Stones website and Boride abrasives (deltasupplies is a dealer) I believe Boride is Edgepro's supplier.
The grits are ansi scale, not Japanese wetstone, there is a big difference and its not a simple linear conversion. eg ansi 1000 being more like a JIS 3000 ish, but the 220s can be quite similar. And the edgepro polishing strips(3m abrasive film, quite expensive stuff) are on yet another grit scale and behave different anyway because they are a single grit layer.
I also suggest removing the white plastic strip when doing narrow blades like that, especially at green and lower angles you can hit the plastic and mess up the edge angle a bit.(Maybe only noticeable if you continue to a fully polished edge)
Cheering my coffee and subbed. This is to a hard workin man with a head on his shoulders, keep grinding!
@@djparra41 thank you!! I'm about to poor up a coffee for myself as well. Early saturday morning, sitting on my couch watching machining videos while stitching leather sheaths. Have an awesome day!
the polish on the face of those was f***ed
It'd be great to hear what the owner says when they receive the knives back! Please keep us posted.
As long as he doesn't include the leg hair with the knives! lol
@@VaporheadATC IDK, that might be a great signature move. When you buy some new firearms, the makers sometimes include the empty brass cartridge from a round fired as the final test before shipping... so maybe he could include leg hair as a proof mark
@@Julian-bq9qv now i need to buy a gun and a knive
@@Julian-bq9qv lol getting some brass that was test fired in your gun is a lot better then someone’s hair 😂
I don't think the "owner" even exists.
The youtube algorithm recommended this. You did a wonderful job restoring these knives that it makes me want to try wet stone sharpening my knife. You earned a sub from me!
It's weird, isn't it. Four years ago, the algorithm would recommend Kyle's videos to me all of the time. Then it was like he dropped off the face of the earth for four years. Of course, he was still out there, doing his thing, but if the algo doesn't love you, you might as well not exist. Then with this series, UA-cam started to recommend his stuff again. Like you, I subbed. He's come on a shedload in the last four years. He was mostly sharpening Moras when I last watched. Today, he's a skilled knifemaker making great content.
Whet stone sharpening is pretty relaxing and fun, I'd recommend going for it. Though, it can be frustrating (I'm still a beginner) when you don't get the result you're looking for, and somehow end up making the edge more dull than when you started.. possibly from a severely mis-aligned angle, and my stones aren't quite flat anymore, a lot of surface doesn't make contact with the knife. I gotta flatten them again.
Lance Hardy - Same thing happened to me. I wasn't even 5 minutes into the first of this series, when I just caved and subscribed. Not only is Kyle a fine artist/craftsmen (whatever),but he is very direct, no crap fillers,(other than his strop, but I'll probably buy one anyway - just to get him to shut up about it). I'm totally kidding, as a little self promotion isn't a bad thing.
Point being, he is not only fortheright, but polite and rather soothing to listen to. The production values of his team are perfect. Sooner or later, I suppose there will be a drone (if there isn't one already). I'm not sure how, but I'll bet Kyle could have fun with one.
@@demonman1234 i saw a guy sharpening a knife he made an X mark with a pencil on the stone and he flattened it. That way he saw where the stone is lower i guess.
I got recommended this as well and after the first video I had to watch the whole 3 part series. Very entertaining and a sub from me as well :-)
Can't believe the original "sharpener" took a full year to get that horrible result. How do you even think that could be professional? Luckily, you were able to save those beautiful knives.
Guy was a hack, not a professional. You could get better work out of a high school shop class (in which he'd have gotten an F.)
Somehow it saddens me to see all the time what a hype is made out out of those "beautiful knifes". While I absolutely support the idea of repairing instead of throwing away, this only makes sense if you see the knifes as some kind of heirloom. Those are the knifes without bolsters, so they are not forged but made from stamped/cut metal that comes in big roles to the factory. Out of the Wüsthoff products, that would be considered the budget series. And don´t anyone get me wrong, they still are perfectly fine knifes that work great and can hold up for decades (unless you sharpen them to the width of a toothpick over time). I would bet at least 90 % of the people would be perfectly fine to use those as their every day kitchen knifes. I bet they are still at least ten times better than what you may find in 60 % of the households kitchen drawers. (Some of those supermarket knifes coming in a full set for 30 bucks, those where you wonder while cutting carrots which is harder now, carrot or knife). But a set of those exact three knife forms comes already at about 126 EUR from the factory, so economically restoring them is a disaster. I may even get them cheaper if I walk over to the factory store.
As mentioned, only if there are memories involved, it may be worth doing it.
Also what I have to say when it comes to those fine, almost mirror polished cutting edges, no professional chef would waste time for that. They sure look great, they sure are sharp as hell. But they won´t hold up. When it comes to a knife you use in your kitchen every day, you can easily stop somewhere between an 800 and 1200 grit. With what you cut in your kitchen you won´t really feel a difference going any higher. And the edge would be gone within minutes of use.
In the past there actually was a polishing technique used on knifes that made sense, seems no one does this any more today, where a polishing was used with carbon steel knifes that gave the steel a blueish tint without heating up the steel. I don´t know what exactly happened there, but that actually even prevented the steel from rusting.
So when it comes to restoring knifes and getting such an edge on and putting that much craftsmanship into it (and without question Kyle did a great job with what he did, at least absolutely worthwhile watching) I think it should also be diferenciated and some things have to be considered. Is this a collectors Item or is it a tool? A knife I use in my kitchen is something I consider a tool. Although I take care of it and sharpen it regularly, I know it is a tool. Over time unavoidably it will wear. It may even break (if it due to some unlucky accident falls on the floor tiles or whatever happens) or if my wife puts them in the dishwasher (is that enough for a divorce?). That is also why I would never get obsessed with getting a Supreme quality knife, where I may pay several hundred euros for a Chefs knife. The good quality knife (Lets say spending somewhere in the range of 70 to 130 EUR) will work as well. If you choose a quality brand it will handle as well. It may need resharpening maybe a week or two earlier over a few months time. But it will not cause me a heart attack if someone drops it.
And I will never to the full extend realize the difference in cutting doing the every day cooking.
@@alexanderkupke920 I don't know if you watched the first video, but Kyle says that the customer wanted to get these knives restored for his wife as an anniversary gift. He mentions that they bought them many years ago. So the sentimental value alone makes it worthwhile for them to get restored
@@alexanderkupke920 I have a paring knife that was my grandmothers. The thing had been sharpened so much the blade is small and has a weird arc to it but I love the thing. It was always just a cheap mass produced knife with an aluminum handle but I’d pay someone like Kyle to fix it just for the sentimental value it holds for me. I’m sure Kyle’s customer and his wife know that their knives aren’t top of the line but I don’t think that matters to them. If they wanted top of the line, they’d have bought an expensive set instead of having their wedding gift repaired. I think it’s sweet. A lot of videos are more to show than for practicality, I think.
i would think it takes a good year of effort to utterly ruin good knives
You've done a stunning job there. Only thing missing is the look on the faces of the customers when they see those beautiful knives restored to probably better than they were when new. I bet they couldn't believe their eyes. Beautiful craftsmanship!
Here's the knives for your food! I know they're sharp because I tested them on my leg hairs 😂.
I want to see the look on their faces when they realize he was cutting his leg hair with their kitchen knives
That’s something I don’t need to see some guy shaving his legs with my kitchen knife 😂
Nice work. Thanks for the video
haha I know, I know. Questionable. It will be thoroughly washed before return shipping.
If we all send Kyle a knife to sharpen and test on his legs he might not be able to survive the cold winters up there.
Right?...was thinking the same. Every time she goes to slice a tomato, the vision of his hairy leg is gonna pop in her head.
@@cattmann1405 - lol!
My mum bought a kitchen knife at a market in France and that's how the stall owner showed her how sharp the knife was!
Great job Kyle. The owner is going to love them. The difference between before and after is like day and night
Thanks Ronnie!
@@kyle_noseworthy please post a update on how the owners reacted I'm sure they will love you and those knifes for life
I'm a first-time watcher. I've only started watching you when I watched parts 1 and 2, then 3, of this series. You, sir, are an artist. I had no idea that professional knife sharpening was that in depth. Very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you for watching, Isaiah!
Same 😊
First time here I watched part one, then immediately came to this "finish". I've repaired and made custom shotgun stocks and other restoration work for years, so I greatly appreciate the work seen here. But what I'm even more impressed with is "Kyle" himself. The intro just confirms that Kyle is not only a master craftsman, but a good man, with solid ethics and values. That's the greatest compliment I can give anyone and reason enough to enjoy Kyle's channel. I'll certainly share this with many fellow firefighters and I'm glad I found this channel.
UA-cam just suggested the first video in this series maybe 45m ago, finishing up the second video and I go look, third video posted six minutes ago.
Good timing. :)
Haha that is good timing! Enjoy Brian! Thanks for watching
Same for me!! I just finished the 2nd video and there is the 3rd. Talk about good timing.
Same for me!
Same!
would be great to see a polish on the knife to repair the previous maker's insane scratches! Great work! Let us know what the owner thinks.
I was hoping the same too, my only assumption could be that the blades are already too thin, I think the blade flexes a little on the strop
May also be years of cleaning with the occasional scotch Brite type sponge... I don't think the last guy put that grain on the blade.
That might be a stretch, looking at those, those are not even the highest quality and highest budget knifes from Wüsthoff to begin with (Don´t get me wrong, they are perfectly fine knifes). They are somewhat ground and polished by hand on a machine, what causes those kind of even striations you can see across the blade. They come like that from the factory. of course there are a lot of additional scratches as well. but trying to polish those out may take quite a while. And you sure take out the etched or laser engraved makers mark in the process as well. None of those factory made knifes come polished to a mirror polish by the way, that would be too expensive, and too easy to scratch. This slightly matte finish actually hides minor scratches they might get. (Well, not those you obviously referred to, those are severe...)
@@volvo09 that grain comes from how they are ground polished at the factory, but there sure are additional deep scratches all over themj. scotch brite sponges usually leave some sort of matte finish if they scratch, that looks odd as it is different from the factory graining.
@@volvo09 Wusthof knives don't come highly polished to begin with - they have more of a "brushed steel" look when brand new, so restoring the original finish can be kind of a pain. He would have had to have done that prior to re-establishing the edge and sharpening them.
That introduction of yourself was actually really wholesome man. I’m glad UA-cam recommended this series to me, happy to be a new subscriber.
Nice! I'm glad I could watch the conclusion to the first parts.
The blade profiles, especially the chef knife heel, came up great, fantastic sharpening and polishing too! That maple is so beautifully figured, like an old violin neck 👌🏼❤️
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Kyle.
I'm happy I've found your channel and interesting content...
Great series. Thanks to UA-cam for the recommendation. I'll be watching more of your videos in the future.
Awesome! I hope you continue to comment as well. Welcome to my channel!
My father-in-law hailed from Ferryland, his wife from Calvert. Loved the area when I visited! Keep the content coming - this is what UA-cam is _supposed_ to be about.
Looks like you're living the dream man. Congratulations.
Super cool to be here Kyle! Thankful for your openness with your faith! God bless you:)
Have you considered making a video about home knife sharpening and recommended knife brands? We all use kitchen knives every single day, and I would LOVE to see what options/brands a knife craftsman recommends. I clicked on your video to learn more about sharpening my own knives at home, and its convinced me more to buy a wet stone sharpener, but I would like to hear what grits you recommend for home sharpening with a wet stone. This might be outside of the style of the videos that you have made from what I saw at a quick glance, but I think its what the viewers want! Such an amazing craft, have fun with it!
I thought that accent sounded familiar! My wife was born in Newfoundland, but was quickly moved to America. We visited there a couple of years to see her birth-family. We hope to visit again, soon - hopefully when the icebergs are in near St. John’s. We both loved the place and the people - found many to be as cheery and pleasant as you seem to be. Because of this series, you have picked up YET another subscriber!
Well, I never thought I'd sit and watch somebody sharpen knives. Very interesting stuff...nice work!
Couldn't help but watch the whole 3 part series. Subscribed before you talked about your personal life, after I'm even more glad I did. God bless you and your family. And thanks for providing all of us insight into your workshop.
*Edit* And you've got chickens? Man you're living the life. A workshop, wife, kids, and chickens. What more could a man ask for in this life?
Haha I can't disagree, friend. I am living a beautiful life, and I don't take it for granted. I work diligently to steward them all well!
I've never heard someone with a newfoundland accent, it sounds like quite a few sounds are from Irish accents combined with a normal Canadian accent. I love it. I love your genuine self and content, I love the expertise with which you help educate us watching.
It's in no small part due to the large number of Irish immigrants to Newfoundland back in the day. Newfoundland is considered by many to be a "little Ireland" and is the only place in the world besides Ireland to have an official name in Irish. There actually used to be a dialect of the Irish language spoken in Newfoundland, but it appears to have mostly died out since Newfoundland officially joined Canada
lived in Newfoundland for a couple years back in the 80's, he does not have a strong Newfoundland accent.
I would be interested to know the total cost that the restoration of these knives has now accrued. Of course the previous "maker" that made an awful job also demanded a payment for his "work", and of course your work is still costly, but seeing your videos it is understandable that you deserve a fair compensation :) I am not a "knife connoisseur" but the "high end" of many things is often interesting, and in this case maybe also a comparison to what it would cost to have knives of similar quality just bought from a store today. And yeah I understand this was an effort from the owner to restore the knives as an emotional thing.
Without the custom handles, the three knives would cost about $300. You can probably get a rough idea what Kyle would charge by looking at the cost of the knifes he makes on his website. They're extraordinarily reasonable. I don't see them staying at those prices for too long, so if you like them, I'd snap one up now.
@@twatmunro Heh, yeah well if you are prepared to invest something like a hundred or more credits per knife, I guess any price seems "reasonable", added by the emotional factor in this case. I am doing good with a 20 EUR chef's knife from Clas Ohlson (a hardware store chain), it is comfortable, seems high quality and has retained sharpness well. The blade is marked "X50Cr15MoV" which some say is a lower end steel and some say a good knife steel.
To add to my previous, I'm not trying to make fun of people who want to invest a lot of money on knives, we each like what we like. It is just interesting.
I'm using a 7 euro knife I got a Kaufland. Their Le Chef knives are actually really good quality.
@@twatmunro a new wustof costs less than200euros for a general kitchen knife with a wood handle
Just found my new favorite knife restoration channel!
These are so chill to watch before bed
I realized many years ago that it doesn't matter what it is...I enjoy watching someone do something that they are good at. Carving a turkey, digging a ditch, or whatever. This was a pleasant way to pass the time.
Thanks for the lessons in sharpening. There are so many misconceptions and old wives tales to sort through
Am I the only one who enjoys sharpening my knives. I will literally spend a day sharpening all my kitchen knives, pocket knives and utility/hunting knives. I find it therapeutic and rewarding.
I stumbled upon your video’s by accident so glad I did watched till the end you are a true craftsman
WOW. THANK YOU
there is nothing more relaxing to watch after a hard day at work than a nice grid sharpenning
ok youve inspired me to dig out my wicked edge and finally sharpen my kitchen knives
I enjoy the calm way you work and inform us as you work. I also like that you explain what you are doing as you do it. Thank you for the thoughtfull way you present these videos.
Beautiful family, talented work and beautiful knives….. you are a great guy and truly blessed…. Thanks for taking us along!!
This guy is truly someone I sort of envy. He's truly doing what he loves and is so so good at what he does. But the coolest part? He's so informative and seems like a guy I'd love to talk to and just observe live
Kyle you have such a great personality and love of your craft. Very refreshing to see a creator so laid back and true. Thank you so much for your time on this series.
Fascinating how the microscope shows the polish on the edge is super clean while the finish on the primary bevels looks rough in comparison.
Well, i've just finished the 3 part videos of these knives and i've got to say, i'm really excited to see more. I'm here from now on.
Found this channel randomly today because of this series. Thank you for the introduction to the channel.
Happy to find you and subscribe! We spent a month in Newfoundland a few years back and fell in love with the people and the land. Can't wait to return if and when the restrictions are lifted. Till then keep the mummers warm and well lubed. Many blessings to you and your family.
The algorithm brought me here. Dude seems very likable and talented.
You really saved those knives!!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤
UA-cam put you in front of me today and I am really enjoying watching you work to bring these blades back. Excellent work!!
Thanks for this comprehensive lesson on how high-quality knives benefit from an expert’s knowledge, experience, and technique.
The shots using the microscope are fantastic & it proves what you said about not needing to do full strokes all the time because we saw you use short strokes with a beautiful even edge as you pulled the knife along under the microscope.
I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!!
You should make a second channel with extended cuts of just sharpening and soft walking because that would be so soothing and relaxing and maybe even good background noise for sleep
It's so awesome to see someone take such pride in their work! 🙌🏻
great content and it is easy to see that you are a trained teacher, the instruction is spot on.
ok. you earned my sub. nice save on those knives. they were really treated poorly by that other maker.
Thank you for the sub!
watching you fiddle around with the knife while talking makes me so anxious because i used to play with knifes on my desk and then a jet lighter untill i lit the lighter into the joint of my thumb while not paying attention
would have loved to see the owners unboxing and using :) great job
You're right about this series attracting new viewers, at least from me, subbed today. Interesting and amazing craftmanship. Appreciate your bio/history. Beautiful family, keep up your good work and sharing your passion(s) with the world.
Still watching?
You should add an unboxing with your customers. Would love to see his reaction!
no clickbait........ just earned my subscription
Would have loved for you to polish the faces of the knives, them being previous wedding gifts and all. Great quality work and learned some lovely techniques from you
Great tutorial! I love the microscope visual.
Oh my god, you're a Newfie!! My grandmam was a Newfie, and it's always exciting to find people from where she grew up!
Hey I came to your Chanel at the beginning of the restoration for these knifes and I love your content
Your skills and technique are wonderful, but what impressed me the most is that you understood the value those three knives have to your clients since they were a wedding gift from husband to wife. Far more than the "professional" hack who almost ruined them. Keep up the good work, and you've earned my subscription.
Must say. I clicked on the first video to this set to see how bad they were ruined and oh my heart at seeing the work of the person your client sent them to, and seeing you restore these pieces of cutlery is very nice. I really like your choice in handle design for these knives and the process you go through to sharpen them and explaining your methods and preferences in doing so
Very nice! I have 13 years experience sharpening with whetstones, but sometimes it's nice to use my kme. I like it for similar reasons, nice and simple.
Just found your channel with this series and I like it. I can't believe they're the same knives. You've done an incredible job on them. I've just been making knives for a little over a year and admire your skills.
I'm the kind of person that watches a lot of channels but only subscribes to a handful of them. Probably the first time I've subscribed after only watching 3 videos. Keep un the good work and God bless.
Best part of the video "I have chickens" awesome videos I'm learning alot
unrecognizable from what you started with. Beautiful.
Absolutely amazing. I have struggled with blunt knives for years, having no idea on how to sharpen them. After watching this, I've ordered an edge pro and am looking into hand sharpening stones. Keep up the awesome content and a massive G'day mate from Australia!
I watch several channels that feature excellent craftsmanship. Good to find another.
"Also i've got some chickens" got me 😅👏
great content 💯
I like the style of your videos Kyle, none of the whoop-de-doo stuff, just craftsmanship and honest work. Keep it up sir!
I appreciate you telling me so, Geoff. Thanks for watching. I look forward to reading your comments going forward
Dude you earned my sub when i saw you were from NL. I'm from Alberta (but live in China now) and I have loved this series. I "liked" all three vids. I will buy some new stones for my own sharpening. Thanks so much for the informative channel.
Heck, the first video earned my sub, but I had too much desire to see the next in the series.
Amazing little mini-series here; can't wait for more videos!
Just found your channel. Thank you for explaining sharpening so I understand. You do a great job!
I just bought a Lanky system a few months ago and it was the first time I can say I got a sharp edge on my knifes. I agree with you when you said they are cheaply made, when I seen your Edge Pro system.
Thanks for all the good advise and keep up the videos!
God Bless
The comparison of the knives that came in, to what you did is night and day, the customer should be really happy this time. Out of curiosity, did you finish the side of the knife, with a polish, because all I could see were the vertical scratches near the handle, where the previous "work" was done.
Yeah i noticed the scratches running the length of the blades and was wondering about how you would get rid of those.
I'm sure all that can be polished out of the customer requests it. I do a lot of polishing on stainless steel and those scratches are pretty minor compared to some of the stuff I've worked on that looks like it's been run over by an angry 18-wheeler and still comes pretty close to looking like factory.
Those look beautiful, but I only watched those videos to see how he got rid of the fine scratches on the bodies of the blades. I have a nice Wusthof that I cleaned with a "non-scratching" sponge that was a lie. I've tried a couple fine polishing compounds that don't seem to do anything at all. Any suggestions?
Serving Al from tool time - this was oddly soothing 😌
Good for the client to know you shaved your legs with his kitchen knives🤣🤣🤣 nice thought for him when he is using them to prepare dinner
I am the daughter of a chef, a chef in my own right, and have 3 sons just starting in the business. I happened upon this series of knife repair videos by chance. When I saw the knives at the very beginning I was sick at the damage that the previous "professional" had done. Sir, you have not only gotten yourself at least one new subscriber, but you have possibly gotten a new client as well. I will be looking you up.
Thank you Lyla!
UA-cam algorithm brought me to part 1 of the video series, was so impressed with the quality of work you did for that couple that I had to buy one of your neck knives! Keep up the great work!
As a young queer artist just beginning to work with metal, this whole series has been super informative and inspiring! I never would have thought I would want to start working with knives and sharpening, but after this series I'm definitely going to talk to some of my professors about getting started. Cheers to a fellow costal Canadian too!
I know nothing about sharpening a knives wholly crap. And I really do appreciate the no crap approach.
Those knives turned out great! I am sure the owner will be thrilled. I am going to have to get and Edge Pro Apex. Thanks for the review.
I have a similar system.
I'm a total noob and even I was able to get a really good edge on my knives.
Make sure the stones have a plastic or metal backing.
My first set was just the stones and they're very thin and super fragile.
Clicked for the content, stayed for the honest, no-BS introduction!
Absolutely epic, I can see you take great pride in your work. As a carpenter and a chef, I really enjoyed your 3 videos. be good to hear what the owner thinks of the finished product
Thank you for introducing yourself to us! I’m happy to say we share much of the same values! I’m quite jealous of that small town living!
Nice job with the introduction, subscribed. I was impressed the way you minimized the previous errors by someone else and focused on your excellent work.
You taught me every thing that I needed to know about proper knife sharpening... Thanks Kyle, much appreciated.
UA-cam's algorithm popped the first video in this series into my recommendations, and, well, after watching all 3 thus far, you've got yourself a new subscriber. I like the no muss no fuss nature of your videos, and how you explain what you're doing in a manner that doesn't talk down to your viewers.
So, greetings from Australia.
I knew I heard Cory Asbury on the radio 2 episodes ago. Glad He guided me to your channel. Great work so far.
Love the channel. This is such a nice break from the typical content on here. Great job restoring these knives. I wish I could see the reaction of the owners. They must've been extremely relieved and happy you saved those beautiful knives.
Beautiful workmanship. I hope the customer was pleased with what you've achieved with the knives.
Just subbed, accidentally found your channel!!!! You are a wizard! And when I saw what that "expert company" had done to those lovely knives, I was almost physically ill- it was a crime, not just the process but even adding insult to injury, using a crappy color of wood and then using a horrific glossy urethane... gaaaaaak!!!!! Best wishes, and keep up the good work!
Just finished watching the previous video. My goodness brother, the transformation is beautiful. I commented on the previous video that your experience was evident. Watching this video and hearing you briefly describe yourself, it's also truly evident that God has blessed you with an amazing talent. Keep up the good work brother. I'll be praying for you and yours.
Thanks so much, brother. Your comment really means a lot, and I appreciate your prayers greatly. I hope you continue to comment going forward.
Kyle is the type of guy I wish I could find around my area to apprentice with. You can tell he was a teacher. He explains everything so well.
Great series Kyle, so impressed with your calm and knowledgeable content. The honest approach to your work and life are great. God bless, be encouraged in your work and ministry.
Just bought your leather/wood strop, My dad taught me to sharper by hand when I was a kid, I remember him telling me how good my grandpa was at it, getting everything to a mirror razor sharp shine, reminds me of your videos, I'm not as good as you, but now I'm getting into it again (edit for spelling)
I am very happy I stumbled upon this channel. Very interesting and your knives are awesome!!!!
Fascinating to see the edge under the microscope after each different grade. Keep up the good content!
Beautiful work. Shames me good seeing such precision craftsmanship. Thanks for the hints & links!
Very nice job getting those knifes back to "life". It was such a pity to watch you unboxing them at the beginning. I'm sure the owner will love them !
Very cool content, glad I found your channel. I'm a watchmaker and when I was going through micromechanics we had to be able to black polish stainless steel squares about 1.5cm across. We used that tape and pastes down to about 10,000-12,000 grit (1 micron). If you can avoid cross contamination after a while you end up with a piece that disappears under certain light. You should give it a try on a blade!
That is wild! I am fascinated by the precision and quality standards a watchmaker must adhere to. Brilliant! Thanks for comment. I just may have to try a process like that one day.
@@kyle_noseworthy You'd make a good watchmaker, you have the attention to detail. The rest is just working with little bitty things and problem solving which just comes with experience. I noticed you do some polishing, have you ever tried Menzerna instead of rouge?
These are strangely captivating, I have no knowledge of knife making or anything related but they are good videos to watch
