Knife Skills - How to Sharpen a Knife With a Combination Stone

[Retubetard]

I recently started to learn how to properly sharp my knifes (outdoor,kitchen knifes). I worked on about 20 blades, different size and steel hardness. I used 3 methods : 20 degrees sticks (lansky), india stone (norton) and speedy sharp + fine sandpaper and mousepad for finition.

I got pretty good with stones. Razor sharp. But its loooong to work a dull blade.

Speedy sharp:dull to razor in 5 mins.

My question is this : Speedysharp is made with "micro 100 carbon" why no knife made with this ?

No offence, and I know you have much experience.. but if someone watches this and tells their friends that one of the reasons for using lubricant is that it dissipates heat.... I mean... there's no heat that can stress anything by sharpening, even if you are going nuts. That's all man, just had to put my 2 cents in. Good job!

Really nice tutorials. You speak very clearly and are easy to understand.

After watching this I feel certain my knives will always be sharp. Thank you.

@MaBuSt thanks for the comment! Using a combination stone is the cheapest method although takes some practice. Check out our other videos on using a manual sharpener for a simpler method. Or if you want to spend the money, using an electric sharpener is great and very easy. For the best results and price, we recommend a manual sharpener. Be sure to subscribe to see more knife skills!
