- one of the last videos in this series I think. in this one I tell of a somewhat normal daily task of an edc resulting in a very dull knife, and bringing it back to sharp in about 2 minutes or less. caltoncutlery.com
Loving these Saturday uploads Joe!!!❤🎉
thanks erica, i have been trying to do one a week for a long time. thats about as much as I can get done on a consistent basis. you are a total machine to make as many as often as you do! how is your new boss working out?
@@joecalton1449 I was slacking for a bit but I’m back on the grind now! My new boss is a bit of a hard ass and keeps me in the shop 10 hours a day! But she did mention that’s how the bills get paid🤪
Good video and good series, thanks Joe. I hope you do other series.
I am glad to hear that you have enjoyed it. i do think I liked the shorter videos.
@joecalton1449 Have a great day Joe.
@@mannynieves493 thanks! you have a great one also!
Nooo! I hate that this is ending. I can't complain that it hasn't been comprehensive though.
thank you for the kind words! but it is time to get on to other things. i think I have a couple of chicken related videos next and then some diamond stone testing, and a regrind video and more on using the bras rod to find your perfect tempering temperature.
Hi Joe, great video! Just an idea but I would love to hear you talk about regrinding a knife. I have a 940 like you that I have had for years and it’s starting to get really thick behind the edge. Would love to see a video explaining how to thin it back out!
ok, I will put that on my "to make" video list.
Talk about edges. I've got a 5 in D-2.. Even if I cut veggies. I'll put it on my black Arkansas. I don't let it get dull. But on the other hand you got to admit D2 will hold the edge like crazy
i have never worked with d2, but i have heard good things about it :}
@@joecalton1449 Don't dare let it get dull. It can be a beast to sharpen
What I did to one I bought was to give a "flat" grind behind the edge, on a shallower angle than the steel can support it, then put a microbevel in it. I think it's fairly well-balanced that way, it can whittle my coarse beard, but not my hair. 5160 steel, 58 hrc. What do you think about it?
if it works for you, then i think it is a good thing. laying the edge back like that is a good method, you start off lower than you think you should go, then as you get used to it and the knife thickens back up from repeated sharpenings, then you find where you and the knife work best together.
Bro, you should've kept the S30V blade on it.
ive already worn out a blade in s30v and if I thought that thier s30v was worth carrying, then I would not have gone to the trouble to make one in 1095
@joecalton1449 , I mean there's always S90v, Magnacut, and M4. Idk how you worn out a S30V blade but bro that's insane or you're extremely hard on your knifes. Food for thought.
@@trevorthomas1030 i have 2 of them. i bought both before those other steels were offered i think. ive had the first for around 20 years, and the second for about 5 years less. the first 10 years i spent with them I was doing alot of house and mobile home rehabs and handyman type work. like 6-7 days a week, constantly working. drywall, roofing, painting, electical, windows, doors, carpet and flooring, you name it those knives have done it. that type of work at that pace wears knives out in a hurry and you really get to know a knife and steel. these last 10 years with them has been much slower and easier on those knives, but they still get thier workouts in. but I mostly make knives now and only do rehabs and handyman work occasionally.
