About time expertvillage got someone out there with a sense of humor.

[monkeyjeroen]

he make knives and stuff..? so why is he wearing clean clothes and there is not 1 spot of dirt on it...

and he cant count.. 1 2 3 4 20? lol

[lesbaerman]

@monkeyjeroen Wow, you're smart, can you show the rest of the world how you count ?

[artistsComplex]

which side of the belt do you do this on? (if it matters)

[fridgeways]

@artistsComplex

I avoid the shiny side, or at least use it last.

[SUP3RZ0MB1E]

@changoskillz ha ha, thats a good point!

However, he DOES know what he is talking about. Even though I know most of these things, I like re-reading, and watching videos so I can learn as much as possible.

Best expertvillage video! I bet this guy could explain the other topics better than the "experts." A natural teacher.

[dictionar1]

this guy knows what he's talkin about and looks like a by gawd blacksmith in a western movie or the rifleman or gunsmoke or bonanza or sumthin. if he goes to get a haircut at the barber in a western movie, the barber will learn the truth about sharpening the razor. by gawd.

[mycaddigo]

LOL, look at .52 seconds were he says it will eat up your belt, and he says "okay" SO funny (:

[TopGun1113]

@changoskillz goooooood point

[haruhistnumber5]

[SDonwerth]

He says "Alright?" and "M-kay?" too much.

[changoskillz]

[fullbodycatheter]

[jbguitarplayer]

this guy definitely knows what he's talking about!

[nallepuh6969]

@jbguitarplayer He wears a leather apron, He knows what he's talkin about.

[hddm3]

Thanks so much. Very nice. Keep um coming.

[HonourAmongThieves]

1 2 3 4 20 1 2 3 4 20 : )

[MisterBaz1]

This is probably one of the ONLY expertvillage videos I've seen where the guy in the video actually knows what he is talking about.

Kudos.

[excav8or]

John can I use your "1 2 3 4 20" counting method when I pay my bills? LOL great vid !

[kilkennyman2009]

look at his eyes at 2;30 priceless

[Weedod1]

I love the way this tutorial is sandwiched between a lot of tutorials on dating and relationships !

[MistralGB]

My glass eyes just gone to sleep,..............

[Haushinka1000Hours]

This guy has to work in Williamsburg or something lol

[slarne]

According to the knife sharpening research done by John D. Verhoeven (google is your friend, large pdf to be found), there was essentially nothing accomplished using a leather belt/wheel, unless you have honing compound on it. With compound it was found to be extremely efficient.

[MisterBaz1]

Not necessarily. When using very high grit stones, you can either strop with a clean strop or one with very fine abrasives like 1micron diamond spray, or very high quality chromium oxide (not the cheapo stuff you buy at Lowe's).

The idea is to refine that micro burr without completely taking it off.

[cubbies30]

You came across as an A hole to me...

[Haushinka1000Hours]

I agree

[thedrunkmonk69]

"im from canada and you think Im slow, 'ey"

[FoilEffects]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzz

[XMSpaintX]

Cool video, but what kind of knife would be sharpened with a leather belt? What material goes in the blade and which geometry?

Why wasn't the blade in video introduced so I could maybe use that to get an understanding of which knives to sharpen this way?

[superbjarne]

oaky X-)

[MaldonadoMadness]

1,2,3,20 you count weard

[ninjadude126]

i never knew you could sharpen a knife on a belt pretty cool thanx

[Lithys]

with a straight razor you strop it before you use it, similar thing

[ninjadude126]

well i dont really know much about knife sharpening thank you for sharing

[Roger1379]

It technically is sharpening but the amount of metal removed is at microscopic levels, it's used to hone a edge that is already sharp(to remove the micro serrations).

[OolahSalome]

Excellent instruction. On a personal note: You have a good voice and good presence, you are not hard to look at, nor to listen to. I studied under a master silversmith for two years, and you have the manner of someone confident in their competence. Congratulations on a very good instructional video. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[tsenkai]
