Wow I'm not the only crazy person who sharpens backwards . This is the first video I've found that shows my method of sharpening. I personally like convex grinds and for me this is the best method for doing so.
Awesome tutorial thku I'm always sharpening my pocket beater and I still suck however watching the video always inspires and keeps me motivated to keep my knive sharp. Still not using my good blades yet lol to much till I get a sharpening system 😅 great video thks again 😊
Not a bad video about sharpening. Only a couple of suggestions. Super hard super steels really don't take that much more to sharpen provided you have the right abrasives. A good diamond stone around that 800-1000 grit will get you where you want to be quickly, whether you're using a softer more budget steel or fixed blade steel, or a crazy hard steel like maxamet or cpm 15v. I personally use Spyderco ceramic bench stones, and had no problem sharpening these sorts of steels. Also, you don't want to align the burr with the apex. It will get you the illusion of a very sharp knife, but as soon as you cut anything with it, it will fold over making you think it is dull. Rather, your finishing passes on the stone should be alternating and very light pressure. This will fold the burr back and forth, abrading it down and breaking it off. Finishing it on the leather cleans up any burr left over, leaving you with a truly sharp apex that will hold up to use.
Thank you my friend, I don’t know too much about steel, but hopefully aeb-l is not too hard to sharpen. This is such a helpful lesson here, thanks again!
For the stropping portion do you use any wax or oil or is the leather dry? Also, do you have strops for sale or recommend certain features to look for when purchasing? Thanks for the great tutorial and thank you for making a fantastic product!
Excellent tutorial Josh thank you! One thing I have learned about 52100 is that it can , with proper heat treatment, take a wicked edge with not alot of work. I frequently touch up my neck 52100 with my dmt 1200 hone and a car window or bathroom tile😂 the tip portion is the challenge so im gonna try it your way. Now i know why you use it in your blades ;) What is the HRC of the speedgoat if i may ask?
Got this for Christmas; too me 30 minutes to get an edge on 2 kitchen knives. This tutorial has helped a bit but I just can't seem to master the technique. Just be aware that this way to sharpen knives is not for everyone.
Hard and wear resistant are two totally different thing. 45 HRC 10v is more wear resistant than 65 hrc 1095. Why? Because wear resistence isn't primarily factored on hardness. Hardness only modulates wear resistance about 1% to 2% for each HRC. But to be clear the hrc scale is not linear, meaning the higher you go the more each point is actually worth in terms of hardness of the material. Second. Sharpening isn't about grinding away metal. It's mostly about two things. Apex formation and burr removal. And the fact of the matter is that both apex formation and burr removal is generally much easier on harder steels. So... you're wrong again, shocker. Harder steels might be more difficult to grind but they are EASIER to sharpen. Everyone knows that.
Your method makes more sense than ANY other presentation that I’ve seen. Thanks for this!!!
Thank you for watching!

Great tutorial would the water on the stone ever absorb the burr?
Great Whetsone tutorial Josh! 👏👏👏

Hey thanks! Good video!

( steps? shit I have a2 step process. 1) give it to a guy that already knows how, 2) pay him and pick it up.
Nothing wrong with that!
👍
Any truth to the harder the steel the stone should be softer?
