Tell her, "I just saw a good friend pass away. He was so sharp, 17° inclusive and mirror polished. But look at him now, all rounded over, nearly cutting paper. He couldn't even do 100 cuts in the shape he's in.
7:43 "Thought for a second that it dulled it" It did, those ceramic rods are much steeper than the carbide, and with any amount of pressure they'll be rolling the edge back and forth before the big fresh burr pops off. If the carbide actually did create a stable edge shape then ideally you'd just strop it after that. Or at most I would give it two or three feather light passes on the ceramics for the most microscopic of micro-bevels at that (way too steep for my taste) angle of the ceramic rods.
Je suis de votre avis. Sur la conception de cet affuteur, la différence d'angle, incompréhensible, entre le carbure et la céramique, est la principale faiblesse. Je dirais que, l'affuteur au carbure a un angle aigu intéressant, et que l'angle de la céramique semble du double et est bien trop grand. Quel intérêt d'usiner au carbure un tranchant à environ 2 X 20°= 40° et de le "finir" à la céramique qui doit être à 2 X 35°, ce qui correspond à un tranchant de 70°?? La céramique devrait servir au morfilage, et 2 à 3 passes sont bien suffisantes. Si l'on doit utiliser cet affuteur, il est, à mon humble avis, inutile d'insister autant sur le carbure, c'est de l'usinage inutile, et encore moins avec la céramique. Ca fait mal pour les lames. Mais peut être est-ce une provocation voulue? Ce que je ne comprends pas, c'est que lorsqu'on teste un affuteur la bonne démarche est justement de tester. Donc de procéder progressivement, et d'évaluer les résultats après quelques passes. Je testerais le fil après 5 ou 6 passes, pas après 17 passes, et bon, on peut essuyer la lame sur son pantalon ?? Mais pour retirer les bavures dues au carbure, c'est un peu juste. J'essaierais un peu de coupe papier, puis après 2 ou 3 passages sur la céramique, je testerais à nouveau la coupe papier.
I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.
Gahhh I feel your pain. My wife was so proud when she bought us a beautiful, decorative glass cutting board. It broke my heart explaining why we could never use it
Another excellent video. I have a Lansky Blade Medic which has both carbide and ceramic pull through slots. I discovered, kinda by accident, that if I have a blade that has dropped below shaving sharp, I can restore it to shaving sharp by _very gently_ pulling the blade through the carbide side 5 to 10 times. By very gently, I mean little more than the weight of the knife. If I overdo it and form a burr, I remove the burr on a strop with 5000 grit sandpaper on one side and leather/green compound on the other.
The problem is that people use it too hard. I use an accusharp pull through after using my KME to get a razor sharp edge without stropping. If I form a burr, i use a plastic marker and stroke it down.
I think I’ll buy this to use on my cheapest knives like sanrenmu or a fake Chinese izula etc. Thanks for the test. Your service to the community is so precious!
You over did it with the carbide, you mustn't apply medium pressure, no matter what the company says. You have to hold the knife in a pinch grip near the at the most front part of the handle just before the blade begins.Also never do so many passes on the carbide, It only takes 2-3 light passes (keeping a perfect 90 degree angle) on the carbide and then you advance to the ceramic (Most of the times, it takes only 1-2 light passes through the carbide but that depends, how dull the edge is, what steel and hrc etc). Next on the ceramic, again, try to always keep your 90 degree angle and begin with light to medium pressure and then advance to light pressure passes. Standing on your feet and not sitting on the chair, helps to keep the 90 degree angle and not tremple.Slow and precise is what you are looking for. (not really slow but defenatelly not very fast, because you will lose the angle). If you always lighten the pressure as you advance, you will end up with a scary sharp edge, with almost any pull through sharpener. Is that a system that I suggest to people. NO, no matter if he is experienced or not. The worst thing about this kind of sharpeners, is that they seem the perfect sharpening system for non experienced BUT it needs the experience to make it work properly! Stones and or ceramic stones with kangaroo leather strop for home and ceramic rods with a leather strop for field maintenance, is my advise. If you want to use a pull through sharpening system, no matter what, the choose these, with round rods, ot the flat ones. PS PLEASE, they are called "pull through" not "rub on back and forth" sharpeners.. you can't keep an angle that way, only thing you do is to remove metal if you use it that way... The only reason I don't recomend these sharpeners, is because even people with much experience cann't understand how things exactly work. Also I know many people that sharpen professionally, all of them have tons of experience BUT most of them use easy systems like KME wicked sharp etc. It's very rare to meet a person, that can sharpen properly on stones and still I see mistakes, that dull the tip of the blade, (like when they pass the blade further than the stone surface) and many more mistakes.So, think twice, who is going to sharpen your expensive knives. Cheers
I used a 'Worksharp' for a while and it was OK to start with (I think) but then I felt it wasn't working anymore so I looked closely and found that it was actually ruining the edge of my blades! Somehow - possibly due to inferior material, it seemed to be actually blunting my blades as my knife had caused a groove to appear in one side of the material.
I love these videos, Pete. Top quality work as usual. I've always wanted a way to compare a lot of the EDC sharpeners so your recent video on that subject was a gift! And although I've got a KME, most of my people aren't knife people so finding the best sharpener for "normies" is greatly appreciated. Henckel has a 2 stage pull through sharpener that might be worth looking into because of how recognizable a brand they are.
@@CedricAda Got one, wanted it (oddly) NOT to work...it worked. MUCH less damage and left over cornflakes and squigglez then other drag throughs. Will ONLY use in a pinch and I have nothing else.
Let me just say this first, I love a good edge and I love this channel. That said.... I used to before I knew how to sharpen carry a lansky pull through in my back pack. In the event that my 600 grit lansky edges would go dull mid day at work on my cheap knives. I still carry it, because a workable edge is more important than people being edge snobs. I will sharpen it when I get home, but honing it so I can work more efficiently and safely is fine by me. It actually did save me once at around 11am I was processing boxes for my job and it was just so hard to do, passed it through ten times each side and boom flying through. I still sharpen my blades at 40 inclusive so it matches my pull through. People need to get over themselves.
Leatherman just included one of these rebranded in my order for the Leatherman Arc I immediately came here to get insight into the contents of its soul.. I won't let it touch holy Magnacut, but it looks good enough for my other multitool blades, in a pinch. I just wish I hadn't watched until the end. The horror...
Pull through sharpeners are really useful for floppy fillet knives. They are quite hard to sharpen with clamp style sharpeners, and bench stones are just slow when you're processing a limit of fish.
I don't understand. If all you're looking to do is get a good usable edge, not something mirror polished although for the more exerienced that may apply aswell, a regular bench stone would be signifigantly faster than a clamp sharpener.
@@Freakmaster480 in this instance, I'm really just talking about fillet knives as a reason for having a pull through at all. Bench stones are super fast for more rigid blades, but you also have to take into account all of the time developing the skill. Clamp sharpeners are extremely convenient and give such reliable results.
oorcinus LOL! Do people you try to hang out with keep ditching you? Have you, for example ever caught an entire birthday party trying to climb out of the bathroom window, including the restaurant’s child friendly mascot? That comment right there, that’s why. 😂
I enjoy sharpening free hand but when I heard my dad still had my childhood confiscated knives and used them. I gifted him a proper one and this sharpener. Most knives will never be sharpened again in their lifetime but this tool gives them a chance.
Finally I've found something to make the edge on my original Bodega better than the factory ever could. And for only $10? What a fool I've been spending money on all these sharpening systems, waterstones, diamond plates/waterstones and strops with compounds. I must warn the others. Throw away your wicked edges, clamp systems are so 2019, Ben Dale can have his edge pro back and I'll be using my Shaptons as weights for my basketball hoop.
These are great for a quick edge on cheap knives, like when you're butchering a deer with an old $5 boning knife. Aside from that, the ceramic part is good for EDC knives, but I'd stay away from the carbide part.
I feel like lansky nailed the marketing on pull through sharpeners with the blade medic, it's like they know they're bottom rung above only bricks, cups and sidewalks so they market it for its portability as a last ditch little option if you NEED an edge and aren't near something better
I use a pull through style sharpener if it's on a cheap beater type knife. My knife collection is very varied in terms of price range and build quality, so if it's one of my expensive knives I'll strop it and use my sharpening system, but if it's a cheap little user knife, I'll use a pull through to get a quick sharp edge and go back to getting on with my day
I’ve notice that knife snobs don’t like any sharpening system that’s easy and they act like their knives are precious. I’ve been using good pull through knife sharpeners for many years, nothing wrong with them. (it's not your wife, it's just a knife.)
I love this sharpening related videos, as much as I love all the effort you put into them. Hopefully we can see some of the shitty ones like the smiths pull through sharpener.
*HAY!* We do not speak of such things openly. There may be children reading this who may be tempted to buy… the sharpener you mentioned and then where will they be? 😄
Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors I bought my parents 1 of those Lansky handheld sharpeners with the knuckle guard, I forget the model name, about 25 - 30 years ago now? My mum still uses it and swears by it as the best sharpener she’s ever had. That being said she uses it for her kitchen knives & dad’s old Victorinox “Swiss Army” knife, which she keeps and still uses for sentimental reasons, dad passed away 10 years ago. Thing is it is a good sharpener for her, for what she needs.
This is great for something like a cheap tramontina or cold steel Machete! where you just need a rough sharp-ish edge, maybe one of those with Pouches on the sheath!
This will be my first knife sharpener, total noob, I use an Exceed Designs Ti as my EDC, and I just swap out the disposable razor blades when it gets bad. This will be used for my Winco Stal Chefs knife 🔪 so it’ll work fine for me.
10:11 that's just some inappropirate onanism away from bein' some Marquis de Sade shit there, Pete. At least there's some Basil earlier to ameliorate the damage to our psyches.
shadowdance4666 just mentioned on another comment I bought my parents 1 of those hand grip Lansky sharpeners with the knuckle guard 25 - 30 years ago & mum still uses it & maintains it to be the best sharpener she’s ever had because for her, for what she needs in the kitchen & with dad’s old Swiss Army knife she keeps & still uses for sentimental reasons it serves her just fine.
You are funny as heck with the little micro-B-rolls lol I'm gonna do a five sharpener comparison video with this sharpener as one of them soon. Good job though!
wopss... i just bought and used this for my bugout mini. so uhh, please let me know , what do you guys honestly think of my decision I'm curious, and what i should get then, just something to give it a quick extra sharpening on the go, since u can't just take a sharpening stone, and strop and whatnot with me in my pocket.
I've often thought one of these would be ideal for a "zombie apocalypse" bag, paired with a Mora or something along those lines. Basically you could always have a sharp knife.
Ok, so haven't had any luck with either this or the field sharpener. If anything, they're making the blades worse (Victorinox SAK and Aus-8 Dozier). Is the Spyderco Sharpmaker easier? I would like to work up to a serrated hawkbill (really the best knife for my line of work), but I'm afraid this just isn't my thing.
so, if you are sharpening normal unserrated knives with the Worksharp Guided field sharpnener its 100% your sharpening technique thats the problem, its basically just diamond sharpening stones, just keep trying! A Serrated hawk bill is basically impossible to sharpen if you don't go tooth by tooth! I would just buy a single of the Spyderco Triangle stones and use them as ceramic files and work my way through each tooth... ... But honestly If its a Spyderco, send it back for sharpening... no other way can get you as good of an edge back!
@@AYellowPepper Thanks, I suspect you’re right about my technique. Folks at the Spyderco forum say that the sharpmaker works great on serrations without going tooth-by-tooth. I was also looking at the electric-powered Worksharp, which is supposed sharpen serrated knives by just pressing the belt against the flat (non-beveled) part of the knife... so that is probably the easiest, or just sending it back to Spyderco, like you suggest.
Technique is the key part about the guided sharpener and knowing what each company sets their bevel at case and point Victorinox do their edge bevels at 15 degree set guided sharpener is set for 20 degree set so you have to feel the edge out or reprofile and or set a micro bevel as it goes its a pain in the ass to learn at first a good tip I can give when you first try and figure out an edge use a sharpie on the edge of the knife and do a test pass on a stone and see where the sharpie is wearing off and from their its trial and error that's how I learned. Also Its a 50/50 for the sharpmaker for the average person the guided sharpener is a good portable system the sharpmaker teaches you fundamentals and has both a 15 degree and 20 degree options and its good for fine tuning work on it that's just my 2 cents
one of these days you have to reveal the secret of actually getting a sharp knife with a whetstone, i picked up 4 arkansas stones recently and have tried a handful of times on an old 440a steel blade and i'm getting nothing but frustration.
The edition on this one video was superb. Not gonna lie, I was not expecting to see the SpydieChef as a regular in these sharpening videos. The Yoda clips sum up my feelings quite well. The one positive is that since the 110 is not being abused I'm sure you are safe from Uncle Randy's wrath!
I would think it would be less evil on better steels that are “supposed” to have a finer grain structure, whereas steel that has larger carbide grain matrix, it would pull out the carbides... or so the legend says.
As far as I know, the Sharp 'n Easy is the only good pull through sharpener. It's small, cheap and it has two round ceramic rods instead of a carbide sharpener. It has a fine and a coarse side and both are ceramic. If you need something for the kitchen or on the go to get a fast edge, that's the one to get.
I don’t want to be a knife in your household. I have to look away and turn down the volume like a horror film sometimes 😂😂 That spike though ... ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😭😭😭. Someone buy this man stones to review ASAP. Keep up the incredible content - we love this , even if it’s not pleasing for our ASMR😜
I need to learn how to sharpen knives I’m terrible at it and I have some really nice ones like Chris reeve and strider sng and Other custom knives. I also have some zero tolerance and fairly nice Knives.
What’s the background music? Sounds like a final fantasy game 😬 Enjoyed the video 👍🏻 Edit: and then I made it to the end of the video and see the final fantasy characters 😂
Against my better judgement I bought one of these.. (here me out lol) Is ok for an emergency backup on a cheap chopper or sharpened prybar.. We all have at least one knife that we don't mind beating the hell out of with a big stick.. I tested it on a Gerber strongarm. (Sorry to all you strongarm lovers out there lol.)
Me, sitting here gently caressing my own Spydiechef: “Shhhhh..... shhhhh baby. It’s OK. Just look away. The bad man can’t hurt you”.

i always knew I would amount to something
@@CedricAda Does this eat metal like other pull type?
Next thing worksharp need to make is a pair of ear plugs to go with the sharpener.

It did, those ceramic rods are much steeper than the carbide, and with any amount of pressure they'll be rolling the edge back and forth before the big fresh burr pops off.

The Victorinox pen sharpener is the best small pocket sharpener and doesn’t eat up blades and they come out pretty sharp and it’s less than $20.

Good to see your back in your old groove!
Actually the carbide channel is *concave* in order to create a convex edge.
The carbide surfaces are concave, the space between them is convex, surely. And the channel is the empty space.

This will be my first knife sharpener, total noob, I use an Exceed Designs Ti as my EDC, and I just swap out the disposable razor blades when it gets bad. This will be used for my Winco Stal Chefs knife 🔪 so it’ll work fine for me.
The video is Steel Magnolias for guys... We laugh, we cry. Now I finally understand my wife. It's a beautiful thing. 😂
10:11 that's just some inappropirate onanism away from bein' some Marquis de Sade shit there, Pete.
At least there's some Basil earlier to ameliorate the damage to our psyches.
I have a Lansky that works when I’m not too fussy
shadowdance4666 just mentioned on another comment I bought my parents 1 of those hand grip Lansky sharpeners with the knuckle guard 25 - 30 years ago & mum still uses it & maintains it to be the best sharpener she’s ever had because for her, for what she needs in the kitchen & with dad’s old Swiss Army knife she keeps & still uses for sentimental reasons it serves her just fine.
Nicholas Wilson I didn’t like the bigger smith sharpener I bought
shadowdance4666 Yeh, those Smith sharpeners have a bad reputation for a reason.
You are funny as heck with the little micro-B-rolls lol I'm gonna do a five sharpener comparison video with this sharpener as one of them soon. Good job though!
Shouldnt you add some water or oil?
wopss... i just bought and used this for my bugout mini. so uhh, please let me know , what do you guys honestly think of my decision I'm curious, and what i should get then, just something to give it a quick extra sharpening on the go, since u can't just take a sharpening stone, and strop and whatnot with me in my pocket.
Thanks for the video I enjoyed it and looks like that is not to bad of a pull through
4:37 can we go back to the cat now? 🐈
I've often thought one of these would be ideal for a "zombie apocalypse" bag, paired with a Mora or something along those lines. Basically you could always have a sharp knife.
a scandi grind mora is probably the worst option for this. it'd probably need to reprofile the edge and at a micro bevel
Ok, so haven't had any luck with either this or the field sharpener. If anything, they're making the blades worse (Victorinox SAK and Aus-8 Dozier). Is the Spyderco Sharpmaker easier? I would like to work up to a serrated hawkbill (really the best knife for my line of work), but I'm afraid this just isn't my thing.
so, if you are sharpening normal unserrated knives with the Worksharp Guided field sharpnener its 100% your sharpening technique thats the problem, its basically just diamond sharpening stones, just keep trying!
A Serrated hawk bill is basically impossible to sharpen if you don't go tooth by tooth! I would just buy a single of the Spyderco Triangle stones and use them as ceramic files and work my way through each tooth... ... But honestly If its a Spyderco, send it back for sharpening... no other way can get you as good of an edge back!
@@AYellowPepper Thanks, I suspect you’re right about my technique. Folks at the Spyderco forum say that the sharpmaker works great on serrations without going tooth-by-tooth. I was also looking at the electric-powered Worksharp, which is supposed sharpen serrated knives by just pressing the belt against the flat (non-beveled) part of the knife... so that is probably the easiest, or just sending it back to Spyderco, like you suggest.
Technique is the key part about the guided sharpener and knowing what each company sets their bevel at case and point Victorinox do their edge bevels at 15 degree set guided sharpener is set for 20 degree set so you have to feel the edge out or reprofile and or set a micro bevel as it goes its a pain in the ass to learn at first a good tip I can give when you first try and figure out an edge use a sharpie on the edge of the knife and do a test pass on a stone and see where the sharpie is wearing off and from their its trial and error that's how I learned. Also Its a 50/50 for the sharpmaker for the average person the guided sharpener is a good portable system the sharpmaker teaches you fundamentals and has both a 15 degree and 20 degree options and its good for fine tuning work on it that's just my 2 cents
Is your fly down this entire video?! You monster. You well ventilated monster!
😭😂😂😂😂 the clips inserted are making me cry they’re so funny 😆
I don't want to use it for regular sharpening but can I use this to get rid of v-edges on new knives? Or is it a bad idea?
one of these days you have to reveal the secret of actually getting a sharp knife with a whetstone, i picked up 4 arkansas stones recently and have tried a handful of times on an old 440a steel blade and i'm getting nothing but frustration.
Since you are dabbling in the dark side, could you review a motorized pull through sharpener?
I have one of those. Only use it for kitchen knives. Works well.
Where do i GET THAT???? Home depot or Lowes???
The edition on this one video was superb.
Not gonna lie, I was not expecting to see the SpydieChef as a regular in these sharpening videos. The Yoda clips sum up my feelings quite well.
The one positive is that since the 110 is not being abused I'm sure you are safe from Uncle Randy's wrath!
I have two pure evil pocket sharpeners here. I keep them as examples of what not to use.
another nice review of Vayne Solidors character
Abe Simpson bit was hilarious
gonna try this one... I trust your review .. Thank you
Knife nerd confirmed I cringed when the spydiechef was sharpened. What a sacrifice Pete. 😢 Good on you sir. For science and The Knife Lab.
So by its nature, you should be able to sharpen all your Bark River and Fallkniven knives on it!!!!
random jrpg reference in there.. i like your style.
I would think it would be less evil on better steels that are “supposed” to have a finer grain structure, whereas steel that has larger carbide grain matrix, it would pull out the carbides... or so the legend says.
As far as I know, the Sharp 'n Easy is the only good pull through sharpener. It's small, cheap and it has two round ceramic rods instead of a carbide sharpener. It has a fine and a coarse side and both are ceramic. If you need something for the kitchen or on the go to get a fast edge, that's the one to get.
Get a accusharp pull through, do it very very softly many times and u will get a razor edge. Check out the project farm teat
You're the reason why we don't have nice things 😎
I feel like the mantra should be the test dummy/base line for all your videos!
Would you recommend this for budget kitchen knives?
You’d probably be better off with a lansky turnbox. Less edge eaten away and straight forward to use.
bob down he says he only recommends the lansky turnbox for sub 3-4 inch knives
Basil! You could probably use him as a strop!
Oh how the mighty Spydiechef has fallen, now try this on the TRM.
I don’t want to be a knife in your household. I have to look away and turn down the volume like a horror film sometimes 😂😂 That spike though ... ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😭😭😭. Someone buy this man stones to review ASAP. Keep up the incredible content - we love this , even if it’s not pleasing for our ASMR😜
I’m getting zero noticeable sharpening from this sharpener on two 440c blades. They’re both quite dull and can’t cut paper
10:19
YAMERO!!!
Puppies and kittens died because of your video 😔
Basil!!! He’s so adorable!
i use a pull through almost daily, still yet to wear our a kitchen knife
Pete, is that the SK-5 Recon Tanto? Or the 3V??
sk5
Please do a video on Japanese Acuto 440 UNLEASHED
I need to learn how to sharpen knives I’m terrible at it and I have some really nice ones like Chris reeve and strider sng and Other custom knives. I also have some zero tolerance and fairly nice Knives.
What’s the background music? Sounds like a final fantasy game 😬
Enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Edit: and then I made it to the end of the video and see the final fantasy characters 😂
Against my better judgement I bought one of these.. (here me out lol)
Is ok for an emergency backup on a cheap chopper or sharpened prybar..
We all have at least one knife that we don't mind beating the hell out of with a big stick..
I tested it on a Gerber strongarm. (Sorry to all you strongarm lovers out there lol.)
Dude it looks like your cat is melting
Noticed that FF music - unexpected!
Love the D&D reference.
Anyone else notice the ant that made an appearance around 1:20?
