Daily Knife Edge Maintenance With Strop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лип 2017
- This is how I maintain a razor sharp edge in between sharpening and polishing sessions. Keeping your knives sharp is essential, and you can do it without using honing rod or "steel". A leather strop is all you need, and a few minutes a day will help give your knives the edge they need to remain in tip-top working condition.

"I dont normally brick my knives. " I've watched your videos for a while now and I beg to differ.
I think what he meant by that was that he doesn't brick as a regular part of his sharpening process, but rather just to demonstrate.
When you dulled those blades on that brick, I cried for 7 days and 7 nights.
I said the same thing. I don't have the words.
Ryky: "Here's the brick. You guys know the brick."
Knifes: "Run!"
It hurt my soul to watch him use the brick.
My jaw dropped. Wtf
“These knives are worn more than a days use”
No shit you masochist. You almost killed those poor things.
So it's not just me. *wince*
"It's just a brick" well it use to be a brick... but now its a famous Burrfection brick. It's essentially a collectors item now, you've successfully increased the value of the brick by running your knife across it.
We know the brick. We love the brick. It's like The Stig from top gear.
Speak for your self and never insult Top Gear. That’s a classic show that’s loved world. While this guy is a joke who somehow got lucky and learned as he went along and still doesn’t know what he’s talking about
@@kdonda163 learning while one goes along is a bad thing?
Most appreciate your videos sir! As a professional meat cutter of 28 years, your sharpening techniques and attention to detail are extremely helpful! Love all your videos man! Keep up the great work! And the great sharpening videos! Much respect to you! 👍🏻
I can't believe people are actually bitching about your draws being real? Come on man he shouldn't have to even be doing this if didn't get anything tough shit his channel is epic regardless if he is giving stuff out so stop giving him shit.
Garrick Pahl, Don't feed the trolls!
Greg Aspenson thats the other way around ...😓dont feed the trolls... there shouldnt be any at all at the first place. I agree with him that this is strange. But then a lot of people are in this world including trolls.
xander witt I'm confused as to what you wrote. What I mean by feeding the trolls is that trolls get satisfaction on people reacting towards there trolling. Best to just ignore them. It's easier than ever to do on the internet.
Do have any idea how much money this guys makes off this channel? It’s a lot. Likely 6 figures with the amount of subs he has
I greatly appreciate the authenticity of your (long) videos.
I can't praise your good mannerisms enough... You Rock, RyKy!
I like the long video format for stuff like this. It helps to actually take in everything there is to learn and see it in a real setting. Plus, this is relaxing.
You didn’t screw it up, you made them perfectly dull for people like me. Thank you
Thank you!
The J motion is a brilliant move. it truly shows that you care for honing every part of the knife, especially the tip, which is the most vulnerable and most hard-working part of any knife. You are my sharpening god, good sir!
Yes I do appreciate your time and expertise , great job with all you have going! Great video and very helpful for those of us that appreciate keeping our knives sharp! Keep up the good work! Thanks

As always thanks for the video, I personnally enjoy the longer "uncut" nature of your videos !
“I am gonna be picking up some DMT”
I caught that too LOL
* Joe Rogan has entered the chat *
i thought i was the only one lol
@Big Chang Just ask Joe Rogan for some
Great video! I just started learning to sharpen knives from watching your videos and my knives are all now razor sharp. Thank you so much!
Burrfection, Yes, the real time nature of your videos has a lot of value. There's a time for edited stuff and then there's when you need to see every little thing. Thanks for all your effort.
When people ask me what i like to do to relax, they always think im mentally on the edge when i reply with sharpening some knives :P

haha. it' s the best way
lol i love how real you are! no one else would have just left all that in. i love the fact you leave it all n for us. keep up the awesome work mate!
hey Nick. gotta keep it real.
Excellent Burr, love your knowledge and especially your sense of humor -- none of this stuff should be taken too seriously.
Keep up the great work, I've subscribed...
Thank you, your sharpening and stropping tutorials are the most thorough and easy to understand on here.
Ryky push on man, regrettably there are always going to be those few bad apples that want to spoil it for the rest of the bunch or cry fowl when they don't win. The people that matter are here for the right reason and here to stay, you can see that from the comments here and from you previous videos! Don't be disheartened by these trolls, this channel is brilliant and you are a great person for all that you do here and we all thank you for it! Best to you and your family and all my fellow Burrfection fans!!
James! always good to hear from you, and thank you, for your kinds words.
if Ryky could review an Adamantium chef knife he would do it (and i'd pay to watch it) !
Hey, I'm a relatively new sub and I gotta say your vids are great. All your family anecdotes end up being a nice touch. Don't worry so much about the critics, though I'm sure most are just trying to be helpful. I have 1 question though, what's with the jeans in the back?
ua-cam.com/video/IuK__58o-Jg/v-deo.html
YAY Free stuff! Thanks so much for giving things away. :) I love learning about the knives on your page.
I love your videos, Mate. Thanks for all the work! Great technique, and thanks for sharing with the world.
i think it was a pretty interesting mistake to bring such a damaged edge to a strop and a 3k. it definitely showed some results! cool to see
My Dalstrong 8in shogun x arrived yesterday. First impressions are outstanding. Fit & finish is on par or actually better than my Shun's. Time will tell on how it compares but I absolutely love the weight and look/feel of the knife. Has the edge of a Japanese style but the heft & durability of a German style knife. Keep up the great content!
Really enjoy this knife as well! Had it for about 6 months now and it's my main go to knife for everything.
I just got mine yesterday too and it was beautiful. I have some Miyabi Artisan knives and although this doesn't cut as nicely as the Artisan, it's very close and it definitely feels more durable because the blade is thicker. It's nice to know it holds up. Do you use a whetstone for sharpening? I have an electric sharpener and don't know if that's sufficient....
Yes I only use whetstones on my knives. I'm still working on getting better but its a much more controlled and gentle process on your knives. If you have any "cheaper" knives, they are great to practice on before using your more expensive knives. I also have a leather strop that I use in combination with my honing rod and honestly, I barely every have to use the stones. The strop and honing rod keep them pretty much razor sharp. Burrfection has a lot of great videos on stones and techniques but I 100% encourage you to try them and you may even find it a nice relaxing, almost therapeutic process. Cheers
I got a japanese whetstone 1000/6000. I'm surprised at how smooth it feels and was wondering if it'll really take off any steel to sharpen but it did! I don't think it could get any sharper as I've been using a miyabi sharpener the past week and the dalstrong as been cutting through stuff like butter. I just love my Dalstrong knives now. Very good knives. Love my Miyabi Artisan for more precise and delicate work and the Dalstrong is like an all purpose.
Sounds like you are well on your way to having a nice little collection....it's an addiction for sure. Enjoy!
I am an elderly Lady living in Australia and started reaseaching water sharpening stones as I wanted to purchase a gift for my son. I found your UA-cam channel and would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge, I realy enjoy watching you and I have purchased a set of Naniwa Chosera 400,1000 & 3000 wet stones for him.
you are a great mother. not for the stones you bought him, but for being a mother. thank you.
I am still waiting for the 400 to arrive, when I give them to him I will also be passing on your UA-cam channel information to him I am sure he will enjoy watching and learning from you.
I enjoy your videos and will keep watching thank you all the effort you put in to making them available.
Thanks for not skipping anything Ryky, I always appreciate it!
just keeping it real and doing my best.
you're costing me sleep man.
haha. watching too many videos?
Burrfection yeah totally worth it. Learning all the time
Me 2 it's now 4 am!
Almost 2am and I'm about to sharpen my shun
i get the feeling a week of using my knife wouldnt be equivalent to taking a brick to it 10 times
I appreciate these videos. I'm thankful you make them. It kind of you to have these lotteries. When I pick up my skills, I might get myself a few good stones, and a knife. Thank you Ryck.

*hmm, I just rubbed my knife against a brick* 😂
can you describe how much pressure you are using when you strop/use the stones. I cannot see that in the videos. Thanks
very light pressure
At some point (on the leather strop) he said it was as little pressure as possible... he said something about the edge just "kissing" the strop.
Sameone said "Put enough pressure on the strop to indent the leather". I believe a convex bevel could be created by using that amount of pressure on leather. If you look at my post from about the same time as taylorwso's original post, you'll see Ryky's reply.
Of course we appreciate your long videos. We appreciate all your videos.
I am currently getting into knife sharpening because I find it fun and rewarding. I just received my first strop and clicked this video. I just wanted to say I enjoyed it and appreciate you not jumping from scene to scene. It allowed me to pause the video several times to mimic your hand movement!! Not everyone is as coordinated haha. Great video. Subscribed.
How are things going? Master sharpener by now I'm sure! Hope you're well
“Less than 20 minutes” lololoololol
i TRIED......

Ahhhh so the probability of winning...
52 cards - 4 10's = 48 cards
(1/48)*(1/47)*(1/46)*(1/45) = 0.000000214 or 0.00002 % chance of winning
average of ~100 submissions for lottery gives 0.002% of a winner per draw
even if you do 9 tries per video that is 0.019% chance of getting a winner........
that means you would have to do ~5200 videos with 9 drawings each before you would be expected to get a winner
Nathan Hawn you forgot to subtract 3 Kings, Jacks, and Queens but the probability won't be any better lol
Chai Yang
oh yeah... doesn't change that much tho
so it's (1/45)*(1/44)*(1/43)*(1/42)= 0.000000279 instead
changes first expected winner to the 3973rd video
but it isnt suit specific
Nathan Hawn i guess you didnt win anything that this keeps you busy😂
oh yeah... im an idioit
Love your videos. A point can not be explained too clearly!
Hi mate..
Thanks for demonstrating on the knife maintaining..
Cheers Tony.👍🔪🇦🇺
I appreciate the long videos. Works better than something that has to be crammed into time
Thanks for this video man. You're a cool guy. Appreciate your time 🤙🏽
I like your friendly self-effacing style and, of course, very informative presentations.
thank you. welcome
I like the long videos. Easy watching and informative. Thanks buddy :)
That was a great tutorial, you're a true master, I love your vids. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome
Thanks again, as usual always informative. 782J
I just got hooked your videos too...fun to watch and quite educating.
I'm now the proud owner of a Dalstrong Kiritsuke thanks to you man! couldn't be happier.
right on!
Thank you so very much for posting these videos. You have inspired me to take my sharpening skills to the next level. I take pride in keeping my EDC knife sharp enough to shave hair from my arm, but it was never quite sharp enough. I just sprung for one of the budget set of stones you mentioned in an earlier video and I hope that I can develop better skills from watching your vids.
thanks for watching and trusting my advice. your skills will improve with practice. no doubt.
Love the videos. Especially the sharpening videos.
Major details appreciation comment! You're an inspiration!!
Thank's
I have learned a lot about sharping knives. The details really help.
thanks and keep up the learning.
You are the most generous person on You tube, thank you so much for such an uplifting spirit. I wasn't getting your notifications so I turned them off then back on so we'll see if it works
just sharing the love i have received from my youtube community. thank you
Your comment at the end about using mineral oil to clean off load up on your strop was an awesome tid bit! I never put much thought into how to maintain my leather strop other then adding more compound I just figured it would always be an ugly mess.. until now that is.. Thanks for your videos I'm currently binge watching your playlists! =)
I love it when you have to wing it when you fuck things up, your competence and knowledge allows you to solve the problem which is a joy to watch! Thanks for the videos.
thanks, James! just keeping it real!
ryky is the one who taught me how to sharpen. honestly, I don't need to watch these at this point. I do because he's enjoyable.
Excellent video!
Hi British Army Chef here super cool video this is what I need like the J strop super cool name for it keep making videos super helpful :)
Thanks Ricky for a great channel. 3,9,5,8
3k57 Just got some new Dalstrong knives and searched proper sharpening methods when I stumbled across your channel. I am really digging your videos and you great teaching methods. Thanks for what you are doing!!!
3648. When i first discovered your channel it's really hard to watch the full 20mins+ video, but now I'm really appreciating them!
Hate people who feel entitled. Any giveaway is so nice of you.
I am not new to the knife sharpening game but am new to water stones. I have been sharpening on the DMT duo sharp system with good results but the edge doesn't last and it appears to remove a lot of material. Started the water stone journey with a messermeister 1000/3000 combo stone and was frustrated after much effort. Stone wear was high and removal slow. Started watching your channel and decided to order the Cerax 1000 and your 16" buffalo strop. Got them both in and loaded the strop with some Harold's red. Holy Grail combo. I just had the wrong kit. Thanks for the great videos and advice. Keep up the great work.
Yes. We most certainly DO appreciate you!!!
Very interesting and the info is awesome, I really enjoy your manner and you succeed in keeping me captive with your presentation. Your dedication to test and learn and therefore your experience and subject knowledge is appreciated. Keep it up!
thanks LB! stay in touch

Nice video, as usual. Don't listen to the ones who are negative. Keep up the good work!
thanks Andre!
I'm so glad you've really taken to the Dalstrong Shogun X, I get to see so many tutorials on the exact knife I just purchased! Great video! I can't wait to see the compound comparisons. Also: 9 6 J 2 !
thanks for watching and writing. compound videos are on their way!
Congrats on 20k
I live on a homestead in Oklahoma and Have always used lard on my strops. I have to say mineral oil is superior. Thank you for your videos.
Lard? LOL, doesn't it go rancid? 😀✌
there is all kind of people comments and is good you take it nicely. Good and bad comments are always good to Learn so keep doing what you do. and this is my number #7
Appreciate the long vids 👍👊
You're a grown man, count however you'd like. Great channel. I learn something from every video.
haha. thanks !
@@Burrfection Don't count in front of your kids, they will give you a hard time, LOL. ✌😀
Bonjour j'adore la façon que vous avez d'aiguiser cet magnifique couteau.
Depuis je me suis acheté un shan zu et j'adore il est très bien à ma main.
Encore merci
New sub here, loving your channel. Keep up the great info

than you sir. love your vids. have learned a lot about edges.
thanks man inspirational video, made me want to explore burrless sharpening, and made me question how often I bring out the 1000 grit and below stones
This guy is a sharpening master
Thanks for validating the leather strop, I love using one. Meanwhile, I am still enjoying the motivation you gave me, I am giving my knives more attention (and maintenance) and I've tried some different knives. For general cooking, besides various paring knives, I still like my Sabatier 8" Chef knife best. It's been with me a long time, but continues to perform, and feels comfortable, I've tried the Kuma 8", which is second after the Sabatier for a slicing cut. Next, I got an Imarku Pro 8", as well as a Cozilife 8" and these last two have a bit more curvature to the edge, so they are better for a rocking cut, whereas the first two do better for a slicing cut. All in all, my preference is Sabatier first, and Imarku second, and 3rd place is a toss-up, but I am enjoying becoming a little more educated. And I am now using magazines for testing the edge, so no magazine or catalog is safe around me on sharpening day. ;-)
NICE!
Great advice
Thanks get to learn something from you today!!! Normally i used my global diamond honing rod for my global knife but i guess i shouldn't do it with my Shun classic.
Nice artpiece in the background
You finally said it hahaha! I love your videos, I’m catching up on all of them but dang your counting skills though! 😂🤣😅
Just just keep doing a good job like always
super cool shirt man!
I tried your sharpening technique for a wusthof santoku with some taidea stones. Best edge I've ever gotten on it.
nice!
Very relaxing video. Just bought my first leather strop after 100 knives, not as top quality as yours though. Only one 25 year old kitchen butcher from China sharpened on a steel, still very sharp.
I really love your long videos pal. Also it was good at 18:01 :)
Good point Ryan! Who's giving you a buncha bologna over the lottery?! Guys, he can do whatever he wants with his treasures, they're his! Once again, my fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed your video, keep em coming, we love your stuff!
thanks Jed. stay in touch!
Love the videos bro. Dont even sweat the haters
New subscriber here, and i really enjoy the videos on your channel. Thank you for the time you put into the craft and keep up the great work! also 5J91

Good Video.

I like the long videos, Gives me a good prospective of what you are doing.
Yep, you're a good family man !
I would love to win anything on your giveaway from you just because I think your videos are great I am 66 years old and retired and always thought I could sharpen pretty good until I started watching your videos then I saw a lot of mistakes I was making now that I have the time I want to start from ground zero and get better keep on making these great videos
GOOD INFO THANKS
Completely forgot about your channel! Glad I stumbled across it again 👍. Oh yea, and I'll pick: 253Q
Bring back these videos!!
Ha ha, just stropping. NO WAIT! I have to run it on 3000 stone because the brick was Abit much. NOW I can show what stropping does.
All in all, a great demo of gentle care to keep your lightsabers in top condition.
Hey man, how are you ? Great videos, a little long but definitely theu keep me interested till the end. I am new on sharpening knives so I have a question about strops. I have 3 strops that I made with good quality leather, one is just leather, one with green compound on it and one with a 0.5 micron diamond paste on it, so far I can't notice a big diference among them all, maybe due to my lack of experience using them. My question is witch one is courser and in witch order shoud I use them, should I use more than one strop on the same knife ? Thanks a lot and congrats on the excellent material you are posting !
