Great, thanks. Have not sharpened a knife for ages and need some tuition - video worked a treat!! Can now do my sheeps feet a lot easier.. Kind regards BB
Actually pushing a blade horizonatally is terrible for your blade, you have to angle to one side pushing it forward with the point. Just some fyi from a blade specialist/martial artist.
@ajmichelson1984 Thanks for telling me something I already know, but if you noticed the blade I was sharpening was a sheep's foot blade then you would also noticed it is completely straight. Therefore there is no curve in the blade so I don't have to raise it up (following the same angle of course) to get the "curve" of the blade reaching to the tip of the point.
@jtypo He is right though. You should have a constant angle of around 70° (you had 90°). This angle is defined by your draging motion and the direction of your knife's edge. You are leaving scratches when you sharpen, you want them aligned with your usual cutting motion. No one cuts strait through (corresponding to a 90°) all the time. Most of the time, you'll drag the blade when you cut, and thus you'll be aligned with the scratch. You two are talking about different angles...
@Wyvren75 Yeah Oil stoning works great for almost any knife I think; if the edge isn't too damaged. I sharpened a dagger on a big fine grinding wheel I have. a 15 degree angle would probably be ok on a dagger since then are ment to peirce really rather than do fine cutting.
@tommytruth too bad it's not flat, it's just at a thin angle the correct one too 10 degrees for a 20 degree included angle, that and even if I did scratch it, grandpa wouldn't mind, that blade is already has scratches, and I'm only human. :P
Really good video... Tried learning how to oilstone sharpen from a stupid woodshop book and it wasnt informative enough. I watched your video and after one try my pocket knife is much sharper than ive been able to get it. The angle definitly matters because ive been doing it at about a 20 degree angle instead of a 10 degree.
@Polaf3456 Thanks a lot that is why I put those videos up, I've been really busy lately with schooling and trying to start my own sharpening business and sell knives lol. yeah a 20 degree included angle makes for a pretty sharp knife.
@MrBryguy2006 that is not true, although there are more that one way to sharpen a knife I am showing how to do that with an oil stone, it is the oldest form of sharpening, all the people that have gotten help from this, and all the other people that sharpen knives with a oil stone beg to differ, you are just upset because you are not good at it.
@laurentprodz Aluminum oxide is a compound material and has many uses, but it also used in grinding media. As far as a lubricant for this one may not be needed, It is different from a regular oil stone. I can not tell you for sure about the lube. I would try sharpening a knife without lubrication first and see how that does on the edge. I hope this helps!
@jtypo Yep, you can sharpen on those dry. After it collects some metal in the stone, just take it to the sink and wash it with soap and water. No big deal on these. Diamond stones and oxides don't really absorb anything and wash out well. I wouldn't use either over oil or water stones but they do the job.
@ki11er4h1r3 your welcome, I may have accidently voted down a comment of yours.. Im sorry! lol yeah WD40 is good for in a pinch, but I reccomend "3 in one oil" I think that is the name brand.. that is the title on all the cans anyway! Yes I like to spread the word about things :) Need to make some other "how to's"
@ki11er4h1r3 It's called a "whetstone". Whet is an old word meaning to sharpen. Because whet and wet sound the same people assumed you needed to put water on a stone. Some experienced sharpeners might use a bit of water to clear away some of the small metal shavings but water isn't necessary to sharpen a knife.
@ki11er4h1r3 well I use a OIL stone, and it requires oil once in a while, when it starts to sound course or have a lot of grit come off when you sharpen, if you buy a new oil stone, oil it with a nice coat, you can use it immediately, but it will soak in over time. This stone was already oiled enough. Some people use water on a wet stone, or stones that require them to be watered constantly for lubrication, Does this answer your question? I hope it does!
Great video! Constructive Criticism: It may be helpful in future videos if you list materials and directions in the "Description" area. Some of us have really bad speakers and, at times, miss what you are saying. Overall, I'd say your videos are off to a great start!
Oh, yea...and don't pay any attention to the people that hurl insults at you and your work. They must have pretty sad and pathetic lives to do so.
@harbingercmt thank you sir! and yeah.. the vampire thing is dumb (since they don't even exist.. but don't let them know that) I want to make new videos but have been really busy. woo! and yeah I will list certain materials I used in the future.. when I make another haha.
@b262222 yes you can if it is sharp enough, in other words in your bowie knife is really dull then you may wanna put it on a bench grinder lightly a few times on each side of the blade then go to the oil stone. but yes you can oil stone big knives, you just have to follow the curve of the knife up to the point and maintain the same angle at the same time. Does this help you? It should!
This is a fantastic video. On a technical side - its ok; it gets the job done. But on the style side: from the leading man subtly uncomfortable on-camera to the older man carrying some kind of gun in the background all wrapped up in generic, completely out of place salsa music, I give it four stars.
Don't worry about being camera shy pocket knife wielding young man. It won't stop you from winning the affections of many future buxom fillies with braces now unbound.

@SinfulTheEllusionist no if you go and drag the knife backward the grit on the stone and roll your edge up. if you go forward, like your supposed to it pushes the grit out of the way. try taking a playing card and dragging it over a pebble. You may see what I'm talking about. and if you push the card away from you (across the stone) it pushes the pebble (grit) out of the way. I am a visual hands on person.. I hope this helps! :) unless you take my word lol I would if I were me.. O_o
@CPU119 not if you do it right! haha. but yeah it could be possible that the paint will get stratched off. It also depends on how the coating is put on the blade. some are higher quality and put on different. I hope this helped!
I'm not attempting to me argumentative nor am I attempting to insult you, rather I'm trying to understand your logic. During the time I've been collecting, sharpening and making my own knives, I have never once heard that refining an edge leaves it weak, especially considering that I've refined some of the heaviest chopping blades you can imagine only to leave them better as opposed to worse.
@JesusFuckingChrist84 no that cool man, I get what your saying. A sharp knife is not weak as you say just saying if you hit something hard its gonna damage it. (this point we both agree) A Sharp kinfe is way better than a dull one haha. As far as old v.s. new I am more old school and like to use and oil stone for touch ups on a knife, I am thinking of buying a diamond stone for my little shop I am going to open soon. That is why I have not been posting lately but want to. once again thank you.
I'd agree, a doll knife is not longer useful, sharpness FTW! Well, depends what you wanna do with the diamond stone. I don't blame you for being old school, I really want to get my hands on some Japanese water stones for my scandi-ground blades, love those things.
Diamond stones are really good in knife making, too. If you start a grind with a grinder you can finish it up or fix it with a coarse diamond stone, and the fact that it doesn't require flattening means you are consistent.
@zaitovssilencer hey sup? 1. Water isnt needed for a good oil stone. Hence the title OIL stone lol You should put oil on your stone time to time so it absorbs in the stone, this reduces the wear of the stone, therefore water is not needed. It has oil soaked in it already. 2. small stone? like a field stone? those are ment to be carried in your pocket and used to touch up a knife, they are fine grit stones. If you have a smaller 4 in oil stone however..
@zaitovssilencer however... you have to move the blade where the smaller stone covers it all, if used right they can be just as effective as a full sized 8 inch oil stone. 3. tips for sandpaper? I would start our at 100 or 180 grit move to 220, then 280 or 320 for a fine edge, your knife has to be pretty well sharp before you used a sandpaper pad, but if you wanna go that route with a dull knife that requires more sharpening I would used a horizontal belt sander. be careful not to cut it!
@TheCoffeeMann Not for any normal knife I don't. A really fine stone as you say is an Arkansas hard stone. They are white or grey in color and feel just like marble. They are really only used for a straight razor to get it really scary sharp. If you did this on your pocket knife and once you hit something hard like a bone or something the edge would roll over and go away instantly. I hope this helps :)
That is not true at all. Refining your edge makes it last longer. If you hit something to make your edge roll over, that is something that would happen to a sharp edge either way, doesn't matter.
Whether you sharpen a knife to 120 grit or 6000 grit, you hit something you aren't supposed to, chances are you're going to damage your edge just the same. Also, people tend not to use stones for straight razors, strops with diamond compounds or rouge will do a better job for maintenance.
@JesusFuckingChrist84 yes what you say is true to an extent, but the thinner you edge gets the easier it is to roll over. Im just trying to help the guy with his question, I was giving him an example, and that i wouldnt see a need to do that to your pocket knife. Diamond stones or compounds would do a good job I suppose because diamonds are real hard but a hard Arkansas stone has been around for hundreds of years (hence diamonds stones and compounds didn't exsist) thanks for your imput.
Again, a bevel does NOT thin out simply because you refine it.
If you sharpen a knife on each side at 20 degrees, you end up with a total of a 40 degree edge. Now if you move up from an Arkansas stone to something like a Japanese water stone, you are simply polishing and refining the edge, & you still have a total of... you guessed it, 40 degrees.In the end it doesn't matter, I've sharpened many knives and have used everything from strops to belts to stones, it simply does not matter.
BTW, sharpening implements are irrelevant. One uses a diamond stone over an Arkansas stone for many reasons, it does not require flattening, cuts consistently, doesn't clog as easily, but grit is what matters, the finest grit stones available in ceramic opposed to natural stones. Diamonds just happen to be more aggressive, the cut faster but do the exact same thing.Thinning out the bevel through refining doesn't happen period, you are just polishing the bevels and making 'em less gritty.
I sharpened my Victorinox pocket knife with the porcelain on the bottom of a coffee mug, its sharp but i can feel the burs on it, for stropping can i just use any leather belt? and if so do i use the rough side on the bottom or the hard smooth side, also i like the way you added humerous music to this, made it much more awesome :D
@MadnessSnarf well I'd use a genuine leather belt, my/a strop is ussually good quality, thick, stiff leather. On a belt I would hook it on a nail or something to stretch it you tight. As far was which side try the bottom where it is un-died/varnshined leather, and that way the black streaks will be on the bottom. Let me know how this goes! and thanks once again. :)
@jtypo Yeah i used the back of an old leather belt and it seemed to work great, just from the coffee mug and the old belt i got it very sharp, not quite shaving sharp but close to it, its definitely sharp enough for anything ill use it for (eating apples mostly)

Thanks for the great video, i will give it a try later. do you see any advantage to go to a really fine stone?
TheCoffeeMann 1 year ago
@TheCoffeeMann Not for any normal knife I don't. A really fine stone as you say is an Arkansas hard stone. They are white or grey in color and feel just like marble. They are really only used for a straight razor to get it really scary sharp. If you did this on your pocket knife and once you hit something hard like a bone or something the edge would roll over and go away instantly. I hope this helps :)

@jtypo
That is not true at all. Refining your edge makes it last longer. If you hit something to make your edge roll over, that is something that would happen to a sharp edge either way, doesn't matter.
Whether you sharpen a knife to 120 grit or 6000 grit, you hit something you aren't supposed to, chances are you're going to damage your edge just the same. Also, people tend not to use stones for straight razors, strops with diamond compounds or rouge will do a better job for maintenance.

@JesusFuckingChrist84 yes what you say is true to an extent, but the thinner you edge gets the easier it is to roll over. Im just trying to help the guy with his question, I was giving him an example, and that i wouldnt see a need to do that to your pocket knife. Diamond stones or compounds would do a good job I suppose because diamonds are real hard but a hard Arkansas stone has been around for hundreds of years (hence diamonds stones and compounds didn't exsist) thanks for your imput.

Again, a bevel does NOT thin out simply because you refine it.
If you sharpen a knife on each side at 20 degrees, you end up with a total of a 40 degree edge. Now if you move up from an Arkansas stone to something like a Japanese water stone, you are simply polishing and refining the edge, & you still have a total of... you guessed it, 40 degrees.In the end it doesn't matter, I've sharpened many knives and have used everything from strops to belts to stones, it simply does not matter.

@jtypo
BTW, sharpening implements are irrelevant. One uses a diamond stone over an Arkansas stone for many reasons, it does not require flattening, cuts consistently, doesn't clog as easily, but grit is what matters, the finest grit stones available in ceramic opposed to natural stones. Diamonds just happen to be more aggressive, the cut faster but do the exact same thing.Thinning out the bevel through refining doesn't happen period, you are just polishing the bevels and making 'em less gritty.

I sharpened my Victorinox pocket knife with the porcelain on the bottom of a coffee mug, its sharp but i can feel the burs on it, for stropping can i just use any leather belt? and if so do i use the rough side on the bottom or the hard smooth side, also i like the way you added humerous music to this, made it much more awesome :D
MadnessSnarf 1 year ago
@MadnessSnarf well I'd use a genuine leather belt, my/a strop is ussually good quality, thick, stiff leather. On a belt I would hook it on a nail or something to stretch it you tight. As far was which side try the bottom where it is un-died/varnshined leather, and that way the black streaks will be on the bottom. Let me know how this goes! and thanks once again. :)
jtypo 1 year ago
@jtypo Yeah i used the back of an old leather belt and it seemed to work great, just from the coffee mug and the old belt i got it very sharp, not quite shaving sharp but close to it, its definitely sharp enough for anything ill use it for (eating apples mostly)
