That’s how I handled a friends 40 year old Buck 110 the other night. Found an appropriate angle to just get rid of the recurve at the blade base yet maintain a good amount of material. It came out well. Did it free hand on water stones.
Having a convex curve can definitely add strength to a blade edge but how are you going to resharpen it easily?? So I agree. A flat grind is almost always a better answer.
@@zacharysherry2910 you can with a good ceramic rod. But you’re better off bringing back that original blade profile. It wasn’t a quick task either.
Hey Kyle, I just received a package from Amazon with a beginner whetstone kit for trying to sharpen my pocket knife. So glad I found your UA-cam channel it really helped me get through my first sharpen. It ain't pretty but I did get it pretty sharp. Practice, practice, practice
Nicely done Kyle
Great video, helped out a lot .
Have just started following your channel and your instructions are very easily understood…..well I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks….thanks Kyle.
Love your expertise. Just ordered this knife. I enjoy watching your technique and before I need to resharpen it,it looks like I need your stones. Just subscribed!
Man it's so relaxing to me watching you work your knives, kind of like a Bob Rossy feeling XD Greetings from Mexico!
Haha thanks man! I love Bob Ross!
Paint some happy little clouds on it (:
No mistakes just happy little accidents!
my thoughts exactly!
Thank you.
Great vid man. BTW it is not a Nagura. Nagura are used to create a slurry that you sharpen with, usually on higher finisihing grit stones. And I usually only see them on waterstones or naturals. The stone you have from Naniwa is a cleaning stnne, used to clean surfaces of clogged up stones. If you try a Naniwa Pro 3000 grit, you will be amazed how little you need to use the cleaning stone, compared to the Naniwa Superstones, also the Super are much faster to wear down than Naniwa Pro´s. Also a Nagura comes with each stone, and is the same grit as the stone, so as to not create a slurry consistent of different grits.
Most stores call this stone the 'naniwa nagura'. It is technically a 'dressing stone', but for consumer use, I will call it the name most commonly used.
I think it's beautiful that you fixed that messed up knife. I love my Mora Bushcraft. But was it really worth your professional time (I presume some hours) to fix a $45 knife? I guess that's up to the customer.
i would love to see a video on how to re-tip a knife that has had it chipped off
what do you call that thing that you clean your stones with? i use ceramic rods and i cant seem to get them clean after using them. thank you
Why yes, it's 1:20 am and I'm watching this nice Canadian sharpen a knife... what's it to you?
Hey Kyle I’m a newbie when it comes to sharpening my knives. I wanted to know when you are sharpening your blades do you put pressure when pushing or pulling the knife.
Isn't it bad to put a hardened blade in a belt sander or because is a stainless steel ( air hardened) it doesn't matter?
The Mora Bushcraft Black is carbon steel.
Knifemakers use belt sanders all the time.
To shape a knife by hand takes ages. You just have to watch out for overheating the blade.
You don't want to mess up the heat treat.
Those dreadful horizontal scrapes in the edge make me
think that this poor thing was subjected to the
evil pull through sharpener abomination.
Have you ever rehandled a Mora knife? I like the rubber handle…. But it would be bad ass with a nice wood hand. Asking for a friend😉
You done everything rite minus the belt sander that takes the temper out gets dull to fast if used but looks good on display case
Incorrect, Ricky. A grinder CAN affect the heat treat of the steel only if heat is allowed to accumulate above a certain temperature. This is easy to avoid with a little caution and experience.
@Kyle Noseworthy i have been sharpen knives since i was 12 i now am 67 made you need afew more years of learing with it
Here are my thoughts on this one: ua-cam.com/video/yDw9rvHaIRE/v-deo.html
If you think that is the worst Mora, I'll take on tour around the stables here in Sweden and show you the poor abused mora knifes kept there. 😅
The dude must love his mora to send it to be sharpened as you could buy a new one for less! 😅
Probably be cheaper to buy a new one
Man, I really enjoy watching these sharpening videos. It's like watching Bob Ross -but doing something I actually care about trying myself. Excellent videos!
I will tell the truth. I am afraid to start to sharpen my knives. I'm afraid I will ruin the bevel or the entire blade. Are there things that you don't want to do?
You'll be just fine, friend. Take your time and pay close attention. Nothing will happen so fast that you'll cause irreparable damage.
just when i thought " this man is really passionate about his sharpening stones" he said " you gotta build up a relationship with your stones" it was perfect XD
Kyle, you are doing a great job! You take the time to cover all the details for proper sharpening. I applied you training with great results. Many thanks my friend! Cheers from over the pond/ good old Germany! Best
Thats wonderful news friend! Thanks for watching from all the way over in Germany!
I find these videos to be highly useful and educational.
Nice work.
That's why I prefer convex blades, maybe sounds counterintuitive but I find them easier to sharpen and conserve their geometry. Even to the kitchen knives (standard soft inox) I apply a small convex grind ensuring less metal is removed while conserving their cutting characteristics.
I am Always learning, still getting dumber.
Just lovely.. ..I could watch these forever. Such a sense of accomplishment. Loved it Kyle ! Such a beautiful end result. Excellent work brother 👏 👍
Thank you Chris!
Great video again mate!
I was thinking you almost need a nozzle on the end of you hose so you can just grab the end and squeeze the handle instead of having to reach up and turn the valve every time.
Just a thought I had to save you a bit of time 😊
My wife's father is from Haiti, this man who is now in his late 80's can take a machete, or a butterknife, and sharpen it with a piece of brick, or concrete and make it have the ability to take a 1" square piece of paper and feather it into 50 slices. I mean it will be sharpened enough to shave with. These old timers got some old timer back in the day skills thats for sure.
You can use a brick and then my advice to some people was to use cardboard to strop it and maybe the frosted edge of the top of a car window (unpopular method but it's not going to hurt your window unless you do it like a crazy person 😆)
I really wish Mora would release a carbon Garberg that's not coated. We're big boys, we can oil a knife down. Please Mora, Please!
mora has a carbon Garber
Horrible how that guy ruined that Mora. My favorite bush tool is the Bushcraft Black. Super easy to sharpen and take care of.
Whoever submitted this knife, thank you. You’ve helped
A Mora Bushcraft is $50-$65. Considering what you must've charged him, I wonder why the customer didn't consider a new knife.
He's happy with the old one, and he might have heard of quality slips with the new ones?
Maybe he changed the handle for a thicker one as he found the original one too thin to really grip?
Or he believes the best way to "recycle" - is to fix and re-use.
Or maybe it was a present from someone, and as such it has value other than financial?
Or maybe the "repair job", including transport, was actually less expensive than the cost of a new knife?
I have a Bushcraft Black that is basically new. I want to take the micro bevel off of it, and make it a true scandi. I just ordered some whet stones, a 400/1000/3000/8000. After watching several of your videos I'm going to give it a go! Not nearly as talented as you are Kyle.....so wish me luck.
How did it work?
Not that hard is it.
I just put in on the wet and dry sandpaper. Put it on a sanding block (with the metal clips at the end), with the rubbery layer beneath the sandpaper.
Starting with 1000, then 2000, finishing off with 4000 grit.
Works really well.
But stones are perfect as well.
Can you explain how a true scandi is NOT a convex? To me, it just seems like a “small” convex. Because, there’s no micro bevel and thus it acts just like a convex grind….right?
Choil. Sharpening "choil"
Keeping those bevels that clean and even on a belt grinder is tooough man. I’m getting better every time I do it but seeing guys like you do it reminds me how far I have to go. I’ll get there tho
Oh my God, has the knife owner been using one of those cheap Pull Through knife sharpeners?
Those things will butcher your knife edge.
Out of curiosity, what is the American view of a ”puukko” shape? Because as a Finn, Mora in it’s basic form IS the puukko that all others are judged on. I have some old ones that have a bit of taper in them but all of the modern ones, since the 90’s are completely straight.
I like the 320 Shapton but I find a lil too thirsty to be splash and go. You can kinda see it in your video, after a but the water gets absorbed too fast. I like to splash it a few times in a sink, let it drink up and splash some more and after a bit the water stays on the surface.
That's why the 1,000 Shapton is one of my favorite stones. It's truly splash and go and its rough enough(it's closer to 800-900 than 1,000 in micron size) for most jobs(I only use 320 for big chips and 120 for reprofile) and it leaves a nice enough finish and the edge still has some good bite to it. I might do a few swipes on the 2,000 but for a utility edge its good enough. If you want to make it look better then I start going up grits.
I wish I knew someone like you, who knows how to re profile knives.
I have an ESEE 4 that has been reliable for years. I once accidentally hit it with a Junglas. There’s now a nick in both knives.
I sharpen the small one on a turn box.
It kinda works, but I know my edge is not good at all.
I am late to the game so to speak but watching you polish the edges in I ha e a question. By not keeping up with the strokes are you not going to have an un even edge down the length of the edge? When I am using these expensive stones I always try to make sure that whatever I do in one side I do on the other. I keep all moras perfectly sharp. I have one that is a display knife and the scandi has a mirror reflection. Literally you can see yourself crystal clear. You make sharpening knives look easy but it took me over 25 years to really become a master knife sharpener. Love your channel and how you explain everything.
I’ve recently purchased a Gerber prodigy, love the knife , but not a fan of the steep profile , would it be cost prohibitive
To get you to Re profile for me so it would be less like an axe , and more like a good cutting utensil?
About what would it cost ? Thanks buddy
How does anyone screw up a scandi grind that bad? It's a big flat bevel. Looks like he used 80grit sandpaper.
Its all fine and admirable that he takes responsibility, but that does not make up for the fact that he did not seek even the most basic information about sharpening a knife, which is available for everyone. He just went at it and f*ucked it up completely.
0:12
How did he managed that.
How did he 'sharpen' it?
Scandi's are fairly easy to sharpen...weird..
I’m learning to sharpen now I have been just getting into it. I have 4000, 1000, 400 and strop with compound
Every time I watch one of your videos suddenly I get alopecia... patchy hair Everywhere lol
I guess that was “sharpened” with a dremel. Pretty awful, sorry whoever did that but maybe give free hand sharpening a miss!
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to toss it and buy another? They're fairly inexpensive.
That attitude is why our planet is becoming one big garbage dump.
@@desertrainfrog1691 So you'd spend twice as much on shipping and labor costs repairing a knife when you can get a new one for a lot less? Sorry, but that just doesn't make sense to me. My attitude is a result of the way products are being manufactured to be disposable, not the other way around.
@@wizardofahhhs759 No, I'd simply fix it myself because it isn't that hard.
Not every decision is made based on cost. I don't want to throw things away unnecessarily, regardless of if it costs a bit extra to fix it.
I struggle a little with the belly of scandi ground blades. I think the angle is a lot steeper at the belly and tip than on the straights of the bevel. could you share in your video some close ups especially on the belly and tip? and on both sides of the knife....thank you. Love your narration and videos btw
Love it when you send you kit off to a pro , pay them , just to be told publically that you have sent them the worst knife they have seen (of that kind) least he tried , just think if he was a pro too you’d not have a job 🤣🤣🤣 be kind to your customers even if they are clueless
Uhm, good to know. But how do I make my father stop ruining knives with a wood belt sander?
I watch your show all the time. I enjoy watching .I have knives that need sharpening. What are the name of the water stones that you use?
You have a doppleganger on UA-cam. Check out Bama Saltwater.
As a very enthusiastic heavy-handed beginner, I do worse! LMAO
Could have kept from adding a sharpening notch by just going to the grinder…
Fixing this Mora will mean nothing unless the owner learns how to properly
sharpen a knife.
Used one of the lose any sharp things or one of the other ones that puts on a new edge by taking off shit loads of mental. Seems pointless redoing such a cheap knife
Should I put a sharpening notch on my new-ish mora 511?
Bonjour.
Beau travail, mais pour un couteau à 15€!!
fantastic content Kyle Noseworthy. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the really good work.
Thanks dude! I appreciate it!
So you mind if i ask what the scope is? It seems to have good clarity .
while this is bad, it's not even close to the worst one i've ever seen 🙃
i have an ancient one that are close to 60 years old and it almost look like a fillet knife! 🤣
Man you made it better than a new one. I like the shape of Companion with less belly. Always enjoy your videos 🔪
Oh my, I better hide my stash of Mora knifes if that is the worst youve seen...
That's why you don't use pull thru carbide sharpeners
Is a convex edge not better or stronger than a scandi grind? Or a so called scandivex?
Sorry, I have seen better knives treated to the grinder. Makes you want to cry.
Wow some great sharpening. Looks like he draw files his knives.😂
What grit of naniwa nagura are you using for cleaning up the stones?
sharpening notch is called a choil
just my 2c
how much would that kind of service cost.
Thanks very much for this. I've put a nick in the edge of my Mora so looked up videos on how to restore/sharpen it. This is very helpful indeed and encouraging for the inexperienced like me.. All the best from England.
How big was the nick? I once had a Mora basic come to me with a very small chip in the edge. It was just barely big enough to see with the eye, but I could feel it easy with my thumbnail. I decided NOT to reprofile it, because the tiny chip really didn't affect its function. Besides, a small nick will just disappear after a few sharpenings anyways. I'd suggest just normal strop and regular maintenance, unless the nick is really in the way.
@@Danielson1818 It's about the same as the one you describe. The knife still functions fine. I'll do as you suggest. Thanks for the advice. Guess I was being a bit OCD about it.
@@laurieharper1526 No worries. I'm the biggest overthinker. Its both a blessing and curse, I know. The great part is you are in full control, and scandi grind knives tend to be easier to shape and modify than most.
Extremely nice collection of stones
You Do it right dont use rusterasers for cleaning your stones
That work has to be at least equal to the cost of a new mora carbon...
Can you send a link to that dressing stone
Very Pleased With Your Tips, Thanks Kyle . Loving My Custom Tuck ! ATB T God Bless
Why not keep a recurve. Recurves are cool.
I have only watched a couple of your videos so far--the anniversary knife repair series and now this one--but I have to take my hat off to you sir!!! You are a brilliant teacher!
I genuinely think I have picked up some tips already from what you have said in these uploads, plus you hugely demystify the whole process. There is so much... rubbish... talked about anything to do with knives. Some of the YT creators who cover this handicraft make it look like magic, something completely beyond ordinary mortals. Instead the practicality, and common sense you demonstrate is worth so much _more_ to the layman, those who are just getting interested in sharpening or even all-out knife making at home.
Cannot wait for the next video!!!
Can you explain what a sharpening notch is?
Your good thank you for sharing way awesome
I am still waiting for the shapton 1000 and the 320 here in the uk should be in about 1 week now, thanks for another good video, I must say what a great job you did with the sanding belt which was spot on , not a thing you can master in 5 minutes, in fact many of us would do serious damage with that piece of equipment. Cheers Kyle
Where do you purchase your stones again?
that is a bushcraft black not a garberg
How on earth can u mess up sharpening a scandi grind
When I click the link to your website and your Instagram, both of them come up as links that no longer work?
Sorry about that! They seem to expire, for some reason!
where can u buy the stons you are useing
What is the name of the cleaning stone?
I've found that the Bushcraft bevel is to aggressive to begin with esp the wall of the belly. I put mine on the new Precision Adjust worksharp and I gotta say it's good for those who can't use stones.
It's not made for reprofiling so using a belt to begin that task is needed but they do have a 220 grit diamond now which is pretty wicked for simple changes.
I lifted the edge thinned it out which extended the tip just a hair . It's a very good blade now ...They make these things to be batoned through big logs ...,For me it's a silly idea , I just like a knife to be a knife.
I can baton with it just kindling no need to abuse her . Those Bushcrafter blacks looks really cool once they are polished. Also you are so right , ya gotta add that sharpening choil regardless if ya keep it stock or not it's a must .
Hello Kyle, I know that you do a lot of work on Mora knives and they are good knives. However, have you ever heard of Hultafors 380020 GK Heavy Duty Knife? they look like the Moras.
I have not heard of them!
Absolutely beautiful work.
I appreciate the quality of the Naniwa Nagura but I’m having better luck using a small fine diamond stone (3” x 1”) as a “diamond Nagura”. I particularly like that it doesn’t leave any residue on the stone like the Naniwa does when creating a slurry. Thanks for another quality and informative video.
If it works, I won't knock it, Warren! Thanks for watching!
Great job repairing that knife. I wonder what he used to sharpen it? It looks like a pull through sharpener(never seen one used on a scandi edge before) since the scratches at the edge were parallel to the edge instead of perpendicular. Hopefully he can maintain now that its fixed. Since its just carbon steel a good strop with some compound would go a long way to maintain that edge for a while. You only need to take it to stones if it gets chipped or you really dulled it up without touching it up.
Pull through knife sharpener is fine scandi, this knife was deliberate. Don’t get me wrong I love the channel but this was a staged recovery. The knife isn’t worth the time he spent on it
I enjoy the content 💯, this was hard to swallow that knife is a $75 knife brand knew and I know your time spent on it is well beyond that. Again love the content
I wish you were in the U.K.
good content. Thanks
