Just an FYI, the Shun stone in the video is not a natural stone. While it may use natural material in its construction, it is not classified as such. We apologise for the error.
That's exactly what I was wondering about when you mentioned it in the video as being natural. Thanks for the corrigendum.
Does it work on swords
This has been a very difficult task to accomplish as far as finding accurate grit numbers. Japan is one of the few countries that can be trusted as far as accuracy and quality of product. Amazon is filled with knock offs. Thank you for posting this clip.
I don't own or plan to own a sharpening stones, in fact, I only have 1 straight edge knife yet I watched the whole video. I don't know why but I find this incredibly entertaining and educational!
😅
+natureshamy same here i was just about to type a similar comment then saw this one so ill just hop on the wagon. yea i dont work with or really do much with knives yet found this quite engrossing
Funny that.
Lucky you - i actually bought a whetstone after watching the whole video...and i dont even have any knives
UninstallingWindows 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best video yet. His stroke uses the whole stone face. Key to a sharp knife and keeping stone face flat. Been doing it this exact way for 50 years. Great great demonstration of proper strokes !
Thank you for this video, I appreciate, as I'm a beginner at stone sharpening.
Thank you, just picked up a synthetic stone 3k-6k to sharpen my leather working Head knives and swivel knife, Video gets to the point and no extra non essential info people tend to do when making videos. Thanks again for the info.....
Thank you! I've watched several videos on sharpening and not only am I ready to go I feel quite relaxed by your soothing voice.
This video was extremely informative; not only answering every question I had, but also some I hadn't even thought of yet! Very clear, very well lit - just extremely professional - thank you very much!
I was just looking to get into sharpening some of my knives. This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Thank you for the great educational tutorial. Very few people really understand nor have the desire to sharpen the knives the way they should be sharpened.
Going back over what you taught, I picked up several new pointers, but the dividing halves from 90° was maybe in hindsight simple, but I hadn't thought of it. Really nice! I have just subscribed. Thanks for your help!
Are we not gonna talk about the fact on how fkn perfect and satisfying these stones look ? Really nice video thumbs up
this video was helpful i recently bought a 600-2000 stone because some of my knifes are dulling as well as some of mt larger blades (17 inch machete) also i live in a middle class neighborhood and wanted to pull in a little extra money by sharpening my neighbors knifes on the cheep!
How much money did you make so far?
I like my water stones but find the DMT mono Chrystal double sided 600 / 1200 to be an incredibly efficient and fast method. they last a very long time, very flat . I went for the 10 inch size as I use them for my planer and chisels as well. Also when I sharpen I draw the knife from back to edge only, less chance of damaging the edge.
I’m just getting into sharpening my own knives and this was very helpful. Thank you.
Arkansas stones were the primary sharpening tool for most people back in the day in US. Now there are many options. Diamond stones work very well up to 1000-1200 grit. The soft whet stones take me much more time, especially the higher grit like 8000. Good presentation and information. Use water on whet stones but not diamond stones.
Using a marker is a great idea. Thanks for the video
Great video! Very informative! I wish more people would adopt the adage that "A sharper knife is a safer knife" like you said.
Real knife people know that, but as for how many think about it... *_maybe_* 25%.
Your video was pretty informative. You definitely gave me some insight into sharpening angles. Thank you very much 🙏
Good video. I just want to add that yes water is great but for the diamond stone i saw that oil is better. What happens is that if u use water on the diamond stone it can get in between the diamond particles and bonding material causing corrosion which can cause the particles to come lose. I would like to hear your opinion on it. Personally a 320/1000 ($30 at homedepot) grit water stone plus a leather(free) and fine grit 3000,7000 sandpaper($14 set off Amazon) is more than enough to make any knife razor sharp. I am having great success with that. Shaves hair off me like a hot knife through warm butter. You did not mention ceramic and splash and go stones. Also i saw one guy said diamond stones are hard to find above 1200 grit, but his video was about 7 years old i think. Anyway, great video i found what i was looking for. Thx man.
Thats what i wanted to say but forgot: mono vs polycrystal diamond and method of bonding the crystals to the stone. Ive seen electroplating as being the best. Anyway i dont need to buy any stones. My set up works great. Cheers man.
You have very good teaching qualities. Thank you 🙏🏽
I really got a lot of information from your video, I have 2 chefs Knives and want to get the best performance out of them, so keep doing what ya doing my friends, luv from the UK
Really enjoyed your video. Very complete and explained beautifully. Thank you.
I would've have like to see you use the industrial diamond sharpener
I use the quadstone it's very fast and effective, then I strop on 3m trizact 3000 grit sandpaper and then trizact 5000 grit sandpaper.
I'd imagine this guy would absolutely lose his shit if he went to anyone's house and found blunt knives.
Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you, your basic technique is very sound and results in an extremely sharp edge.
bill h i
.Nice ,you actually show the right way to sharpen knifes
Very good video. Thanks for a good demonstration of types and how to use!
Those stones look very satisfying
Thanks for organized, very educational video. It really helped me.
Good information, thanks!
How often we should replace the stone? Ty for useful informations
When you wear it down completely you replace it.
when sharpening is it better (better results) to push the edge into the stone or pull the edge away from the stone? I like to pull the edge away because I'm afraid I'll mess up the edge if im off with the angle
Thank you, very informative, clear and concise.
So helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. Very useful & informative.
you are the ONLY person i have seen sharpen on the leading edge/stroke.
I just watched another person do that, I was always taught to pull the knife. You get the blade sharp and your stone should last a lot longer.
@@yourface3154 its what i have been doing and after a couple knives i was getting pretty damn good results. i sharpened my hatchet and its sharper than my brand new benchmade knife so i guess ill keep on pulling the blade and sharpening on the trailing edge.
Great explanation. Thank you. 👍
Great class. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the great video.
You never talked about manufacturers of the Japanese stones. I would like to pick one out, but I still don't know what I'm looking for as far as namebrand.
thank you so much for this video I learned a lot from this 👍
First knife sharpening tutorial I've given a thumbs up to.
Thank you for sharing.
I hope to one day own a Japanese water Stone.
Thank you Mister Andre Ing.
What a great video!
All the videos I've seen say to do pressure when pulling away from the edge to form a burr. What's the correct way?
Excellent question. I see Americans are usually pushing into the stones while Japanese chefs always go both ways and apply pressure when pulling away from the blade. It's either a carbon steel vs. non-carbon (Japanese knives are known to rust if not kept dry between uses), or just a different tradition? I'm guessing both ways are fine, as long as you do all your strokes in the same direction. I'll keep investigating though.
Edge leading vs edge trailing is a personal preference and tradition. Neither is better than the other in the long run.
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Very informative, thanks a lot for this video.
Thanks so much this is very well explained.
I've never really understood what the purpose of pre-soaking the stone in water is for? And also, adding drops of water to the stone during the sharpening process...after the stone is out of the water. What is the purpose of doing these both? Thanks! :)
Very lucid explanation!
Great video thnx
Is the Diamond stone use the same Technique? Wished you touched base on that for at least another 10 seconds
Ok here's the skinny for home users knives! Unless you're a professional chef or butcher anything other than what I'm going to list is a waste of money and your time! For a fixing a blade, a rough stone 240/800 grit. For a sharpening/ polishing stone 1000/6000 grit and finally a leather strop with compound. I use the green sharpal compound on my strop ( on Amazon). Veggie tanned Leather from tandy leathers or eBay( cheap DIY). That's it. Watch the sharpening videos for technique( it's not hard to learn) be patient and you'll find it's not hard to get a razor sharp edge on your knives. I test with printer paper only. Use the whole blade when cutting paper, you'll feel the knife catch if there's any burrs left on the blade, but stopping should remove these imperfections from sharpening. Another way is to run the blade over a piece of wood on the cutting edge to remove these burrs. You can also strop a blade on news paper, flyer paper if you like. May take longer than leather with compound tho. Happy sharpening!
thanks bro this was a helpful video for me!
Thanks for the video. This has helped me a lot.
Very helpful and informative!
You just deserve more subs,
Dear friend thanx for sharing of knowledge about this , God bless you
great vid, i feel like you explained it more concisely than that other really popular sharpening channel with that asian guy who has a brick. his vids aren't bad, but I feel like his playlist aren't really as organised as this video was here.
Awesome video, thanks!
Very good show
thank you for the info and great video
Thanks for the info! Good instructional.
is the shun stone still a high quality stone? worth the price and will last?
Great and informative video and review. However, it would have been amazing if there were links to the stones or mention the maker and model.
is there a trick to get the black stuff off the stone that forms during sharpening?
Just rinse with water while the stone is still wet. Else buy a special cleaning stone.
Some folks use Scotch Brite pads.
Does the marker make a difference? Can a Sharpie be used and if so does it mess up the stone? TIA
Great vid. Thx!
I noticed the stone was soaking in water for a period of time. How long was it in there? When taken out to use, does it need to be kept wet or does it need soaking again after so many minutes? Great info.
I didn't get the rule of thumb regarding the angle. Could you please explain it shortly here. Thanks.
0:28 - Is this a $1 stone from the Alibaba marketplace?
I bought the exact same stone in my city for $40, and then found another identical stone for $5. The only difference was the logo.
Then I looked for other stones and found several more identical stones at different prices with different logos. Even the rubber backings were identical.
Hi I bought a 3000-8000 grit double sided wet stone, it's my first time using a wet stone. As a beginner is it ok to start with or I need something else also? Please suggest.
what is that orange pad under the stone? Any suggestions as to where we can buy this?
Great video, got a subscription.
well done presentation. TU
Very interesting video with some new things learned. I think the video would've been more interesting, if he showed an example of how to sharpen an extremely dull blade. And show an example of how and when to utilize the coarse side, and the hard side of the stone. And the differences in result (if possible to be shown) between using the cheap stones and the expensive stones.
I never used oil before, i also wonder about the difference in results in between using oil and water.
Yes - a little more up-close camera work during the process. We like detail :)
I want to make any knife shaving sharp or at least close what grits should I use
What is the best sharpening wetstone 1000 grit for razor?
Which ( grit ) stone is best for chef knife ?
So is the middle grade one you list here (Aluminum Oxide) otherwise known as Corundum?
Oh dear! I am so confused with the numbers. What exactly is 4000/8000, 300/1000 and some are 1200/2000. I know the smaller front number means coarse and the bigger number is fine. So what numbers do I go for when buying a knife sharpening stone? (Whetstone) 😢Plea...se help. 😅 Thank you. 😊
hello can you please help me to choose right stone for sharp a silky NATA 24CM ?
THANKS
What type of stone should be used with oil?
After you have worked through the different grits sharpening your knives…you come back to re sharping your knife. Do you go back through all of the different grits
Does the orange part is the rough part?
For the most part, the higher grit is the lighter colour (finer). While the darker colour is the lower grit (coarser). But this may not always be the case so always double check with the manufacturer if its not expressly indicated on the stone.
What is the best for a big bowie knife
Wow!
It is audible that the knife he is sharpening is getting sharper.
Picked up some good tips there. Thanks. The marker pen one 👍.
I only have one stone but dont know what grade it is.
Its white on the thickest side then on the thin side I would call it pink if I had to make a choice. It looks most like the one 4th from the right as we look at them. Think he said something about 1000, 3000 witch I have no idea what that means.
He says that its quite a good one so that surprised me as I bought it absolutely pissee ("wasted") out of my head in the middle of the day in benidorm on holiday so that's a bonus if it is anywhere close to decent . I'm not expecting the world I just want it to work
Anyone know what he ment by the 1000. 3000 ????
Is it the grade of the thick and thi side??
P.s. cool vid, thanks from the UK. Xx
I'm looking for a video on how to sharpen a curved knife. Most UA-camrs only do the easy knives; the straight knives.
In the intro, you drag the tip of the knife off the edge of the stone. Doing this will round the tip.
probably dont need a tip for cooking.
OursCinema
No reason to destroy your knife for no reason. That's like saying your car doesn't need bumpers to drive!
true
That was the very first thing I noticed too. Dragging the tip off the edge is ok if it's controlled and you don't let the tip DROP/SCRATCH off the edge like he does, but I kept watching and each and every time, he lets the tip drop off the edge without controlling the motion...essentially damaging the tip.
No, not for cooking. You need a saucepan for that. For cutting, and especially fine cutting, the tip is quite important.
Sharpening stone ka row material milega kya?
using your method of sharpening, how would the long knife
coorelate to the length of the stone.
What are the grits of the small stone pls
So are stones that don't require soaking and wear far less, like the Chosera stone, to be avoided?
The chosera stones are better than any he has on the table in this video.
How does White Corundum compare to these? Is it inferior to Japanese stone?
'longer would be better'
story of my life...
I just bought a cheap wet stone that requires oil and no it doesn't have grit grade stamped on it it's a 2 sided medium/fine stone and I've bought 3 in 1 oil I'm just wondering how do I stop stone sliding about ? Damp tea towel etc no I don't have a wet stone holder I even thought wouldn't blue tack on each corner help ?
You applied pressure on the cut stroke. Another ‘expert’ site says only to apply pressure on the back stroke except when using a stropping stroke….so what’s up with that
Recommended grit for a straight razor? It need to be razor sharp, literally. Is 4000 sufficient to cut course hair off skin?
I would suggest a straight razor be brought up to a minimum of 10-12k
Depends on the quality and brand of stone. Unfortunately there is no universal standard. There are 3 main qualities of stones starting from good to best, silicone carbide, aluminum oxide and within aluminum there are many qualities based on ceramic bonded versus resin bonded. From our experience use something 10K plus like this one houseofknives.ca/edgelogix-ceramic-whetstone-7-4000-10000-grit-with-silicone-base-c18070/
That being said this newer Kori Japanese stone which is resin bonded performs very similar to the Edgelogix 10,000 grit houseofknives.ca/kori-whetstone-8-4000-grit-im-bg4000/
@@HouseofKnives1979 alright, what about the blades of an electric clipper? Still 10,000?
Where did you get the red pad you rest the stone on?
It's actually a silicone trivet. It's used to pick up hot pots and pans, and can protect your counters from heat damage. It just so happens to be non-slip making it useful for this purpose. Unfortunately, we no longer stock this particular design.
