I found that a 27 degree edge works best and holds up the best...I had a 20 degree edge on it but lost its retention to quick and I rolled the edge a few times chopping! At 27 degree it holds better and doesn't dig as bad... still slices good too but I use my 6 for slicing more and I keep it on a 22 degree! I'm like you my 5 is my go to knife! But I normally pack em both on my chest with my 3 and 4 in my bag! Esse handles all my needs! I'm sure by now your pretty good at sharpening!
Big Esee 5 fan myself. I've got two 5's. Got the stone also. Headed out to the garage to right now to get EM both razor popping sharp You do great work
I'm getting a worksharp Jen onion in a few days and am going to remake this video because convex edge is 300-400 times stronger at the most microscopic level
If you lay the stone in a plate of water it will soak it up. Then flip it over after an hour. This is a great video. Easy to do what you do. I enjoy watching. I’ll look for more of these. Have you considered taking the coating off your Esee-5?
Thanks im glad that you can tell the difference. i dont even have the camera on the highest quality setting yet because I need to get a higher capacity sd card. I have a 300x i need a 900x, i made the first video in the highest setting, and it was super clear, but i had to redo the video because it kept pausing because the card was not high enough to process the highest setting.

Looks like you're doing an excellent job man! What grit is that stone?
I've found if you want hair shaving sharp a ruby stone does a phenomenal job.
Its a 300/1000 duel grit. Thank you atb.

Good work man, keep it up. I did the same thing with my BK14, because I didn't like the grind angle. Slices great now!
This way of sharpening works surprisingly good.
Shoto Kido if you want a slicer, a esee 5 isnt for u
Nice! I may have to get one of each. The sharpening stone and ESEE 5
Nicely done
Hello, what do you recommend I get for my esee five to sharpen it thanks.
Great demo, the new camera looks good. Really clear picture.

Its the exact same camera chris tanner uses at pm101. And a few other big you tube channel's. I asked around.
Is the knife flat on the stone? Or are you placing it a 20 ish degree angle?
What kind of grit and whetstone should I get to sharpen my Esee 5?
Ryan Caiazza I stopped using wet stones a while ago I use a work sharp now Ken onion edition. But a 600-1000 duel side is great
