His skill and teachings have inspired me to make a knife. No where near the master yet😄😄. One day hopefully I'll own one of them with the chilli peppers on them. Greetings from South Africa.
I owe this man a lot of credit. All the way to the USA, you have inspired me since I was young. I messaged you on Facebook when I was a young boy and showed you a knife and asked what you thought. It was the coolest time of my very early teenage years, maybe before then. I now have my own knife making business and I am so thankful for your videos!!
That's great, thank you. All your knife videos (movies) are some of the most inspiring as far as getting me excited to get back out in the shop and make knives. I've spent 20 hours hand sanding before with a much less perfect result, which you doing that in 1 hour shows what you can do with right technique.
This has changed my outlook on sanding as well! Just started using stones and it has been great . I agree it is calming now and I don't mind as much. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! Be well.
I've used those little stones for a while now, if you have a good variety of stones that have different hardnesses (there are harder and softer stone materials, some work better than others in different steels) and grades, you can do a lot more work than most people would think. Using the stone the way he is is the correct way to use it, the downward angle allows for maximum surface pressure on the stone, and the backstroke clears the cut. I would prefer a stone cut knife over a belt or wheel ground one any day. It involves more effort but it results in a much finer quality blade. These types of stones have been used by tool and die makers this way for centuries, you can make some amazing things with them.
Yes, these are classic moldmaking stones. One of the best in the world if we talk about abrasives (check also other things like sandpapers, polishing compounds, etc. specific for tool/mold industry).
I just got a small set of stones to give them a try 120 to 600. For me , the is awesome. You have to try these finishing stones if you are using sandpaper they are a great addition. Been making knives for close to 2 years and I am still learning, thank you to all you guys posting.

Well, after watching your video, I went to amazon and bought some grinding sticks. I used them for the first time yesterday. The initial process of going from belt grinder to the first grit of hand sanding is usually what takes the longest. With the grinding stick, it took less than half the time and even less effort to sand out the grind lines. Thanks for sharing this great piece of wisdom!!!
Man I freaking love your blades. I stayed in Poland many years ago, Wroclaw, Krakow, Augustow. Gorgeous country and people. Had a polish girlfriend and ended up in Poland hahaha old story right. I'm from Mexico and will buy one of your Knives at some point.
Greetings from Aotearoa, New Zealand, that was a great video, I am going to try and get some of those stones, they are great.My knifemaking journey only began two years ago (I am 72) my teacher said you learn to rush at it slowly! Its all good, only wish I'd started twenty years ago, I love your videos, some of my youtube favorites
Trollsky, words fail me how much it means to enjoy your work and admire your ability. You are a favorite UA-camr and knifesmith!!! I hope great future and achievement for you and yours!!!
thank you for this video, i have watched a number of yours. i have been aware that machinist , gunsmith, etc. use stores in their work and have wondered for some time about using them on blades. your is the only video that shows using stones. so i decided to try it, worked great. ended up buying an inexpensive set of ten different grits. its takes me less than 1/2 the tin and the finish is much better. also. my plunge line is better . thanks again...
Great to watch and learn. I want to also do the stones for finishing the knife.its great to have example to follow. I enjoy also the time listening about your work. Very good UA-cam channel! One of my favorite
Your videos are truly amazing. I have been a long time subscriber ! And because of you I even attempted to make myself a knife wich turned out great, and very sharp... thanks a lot for the tips in the video
Your English is funny, but much better than my Polish :) very useful video, one can see that you know what you are talking about. I like your work. Keep it up!
Thats great. I never considered using stones instead of sand paper. I knew they existed, I've just never actually seen them used properly. I guess the question would be how long they last, and how refined does your surface need to be before you can start in with the stones. Well I'll find out because I'm definitely going to try going that way.Thanks for introducing me to them.
Beautiful as always. You always make such great videos! I have heard that the "mud" actually helps speed up the process. It's like little pieces of sand like sand paper.
It's called a "slurry". Yes, it helps the process. Some stones cut properly only when you make some slurry (without it they scratch the surface, especially brand new stones). You should not clean it too often, keep the slurry fluid (add some liquid). But be careful not to "load"/glaze the stone.
This isn't just a knife tip. This is a manhood tip. Take something that is "pain in the ass," and make it something that is "calming for you." -Cheers!
Wielkie dzięki za to że zdradziłeś nam tą tajemnicę zwłaszcza wyjście szlifu wywoływało u mnie niechęć do satynowania, świetny sposób z tymi kamieniami, już zamówiłem komplet :)
Hola, Me ha gustado mucho el video y la idea de esas piedras. La verdad es que me gusta mucho su trabajo. Donde puedo conseguir esas piedras? Muchas gracias yo un saludo
Great work , sharing you knowledge, te stones sound great. Could you please make a movie on the steel that you start with and how you work out if it is heat treatable and your beat treating methods, for example the small cleaver you made from a saw blade. What temp did you heat treat it at and what grade of steel was it. I want to repurpose old steel. How did they know the type and grade of steel used 100yrs ago for knife making, can you help me out please.
"It depends" what you are doing, what material (type/grade, hardness, geometry), what the goal is, what grade of stone and few other factors. Starting with fresh, brand new stone can cause problems like scratching the surface (very first strokes - so initial forming/dressing may help), then you must care not to clog/glaze the stone with improper lubrication.
Yes. I have now used stones on a skinning knife and a 22” blade. They did an excellent job. WD-40 as lubricant. The stones dressed themselves nicely. Very good outcome!
Thank you for taking your time to share this with us! Simple question with a complex answer: how do you work the portion of the blade that is not ground and has scale? Thank You! TEXAS!
It's good to see you back! No offense...but I missed you bro!!! Can you just tell us where did you buy the grinding stones please, I mean the website? Guess I could use them to sharpen my old wooden spokeshaves blades!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Trollsky, try sanding your bevels on the grinder to a higher grit with cork belts or trizacts. I start using these stones at 600 grit, no need for the rougher ones!
Glad to see your work!:)) one QUESTION pls... is it important to remove that mud? I've hear on from some of youtube sharpeners that mud is important to be there... what do you think? What is your experience?
"Mud" -> SLURRY is the word. It is important (some stones cut properly only in the slurry). So, don't clean it too often. But watch out, not to load (glaze) the stone.

Thanks for another video, Trollskyy. Clear, unhurried and a good explanation of how to get a really clean finish on a blade. Great work, as always.
it is always nice watching a master craftsman at work.

Thank you for sharing, I recently started using the Gesswein stones and I'm very happy with the result and it saves a lot of sandpaper
BORIDE is another, moldmaking stones (and other abrasives) manufacturer. Check it out folks. Or KEMET abrasives.

I'm really glad I got some Gesswein stones.. They are great for the work I do.. Thanks for sharing your technique !
Awesome I love the results, control and fingers away from the cutting edge, thank you for the Video!

I like using the stones that came with my dremel kit on metal sometimes it gives it a really cool effect

Inspirational video my brother. What a good idea...
Thanks, I'll have to try this!
Cool video, like it.
Jesteś mistrzem Super robota !!!!!!👍
Your English is great!! Thanks a lot for the video. Sanding is not the best part of knife making.
I disagree. It is a lot if hand work and concentration that adds to the knife. It's not the funnest part, but it is more of my effort being added!
Thanx man. very interesting video.
Great work and good idea with the stones thank you my friend. Keep well.
Sztos robota. Właśnie tak się dochodzi do perfekcji!
Really easy to follow along with your work, and nice to see your process :D
Thank you for showing us this technique, I wonder how many years I would have spent with sandpaper before thinking to try this!!!! THANKS!
OK, but stones will not replace the sandpapers completely.
Ekstra sprawa, taki tutorial to ja rozumię.
I ten śmiech w 9:10 😁

Very fine and accurate work

How did they know the type and grade of steel used 100yrs ago for knife making, can you help me out please.
Another question: the stones come with squared ends. Do you dress them to an angle or is this simply from use? Meaning you start a new stone square??
"It depends" what you are doing, what material (type/grade, hardness, geometry), what the goal is, what grade of stone and few other factors. Starting with fresh, brand new stone can cause problems like scratching the surface (very first strokes - so initial forming/dressing may help), then you must care not to clog/glaze the stone with improper lubrication.

Hello, this is an awsome kind of knife surface treatment. Please can you tell me, where i can get these sandstones?
All the best Ralf
hi trollsky ,thanks for sharing your experience and bravo for your great work, can i ask you where you buy them? greetings from france
Trollsky, try sanding your bevels on the grinder to a higher grit with cork belts or trizacts.
I start using these stones at 600 grit, no need for the rougher ones!
Got my set of stones today!
Love your videos, this will save me so much time and money. Are the gesswein stones the oil treated style?
In practice it doesn't help much (or at all). You must use, add some fluid anyway.
Oil filled/prefilled - it's just a marketing slogan.
Glad to see your work!:)) one QUESTION pls... is it important to remove that mud? I've hear on from some of youtube sharpeners that mud is important to be there... what do you think? What is your experience?
you need to remove mud from time to time to see where are the scratches :) but yes, constanly wet surface is important
"Mud" -> SLURRY is the word. It is important (some stones cut properly only in the slurry). So, don't clean it too often. But watch out, not to load (glaze) the stone.
This video is relaxing me.
Great method!
Can you recommend a link to buy these? These make much better sense. Thanks for the video! Nevermind. I saw the closeup thanks!
Just Google mold/tool making abrasives. Warning: these are expensive.
Great tutorial, please can you share a link to stones you are using? where we can order some?
Thank you so much for the tips 👍
Just a quick question, did you make a bewel on the stones ? Sanding this part closed tho the ricasso make me crazy 😅
Excellent command of the English language. You seem to be a Brainiack. Dig your video the most.
Nice one.
