ok. i prefer benchstones for a real edge (highly polished and face shaving sharp) but this is a damn good way to take off some metal and give it a quick, servicable edge.
I have to qualify this video. I freehand sharpen good knifes on wet stones. The knife in the video is one from a corporate cafeteria I service, I see it every 2 weeks. They hack apart frozen meat on a SS countertop with it. Their cutlery shows up nothing more than blunt instruments, so it gets a quick sharpening and then back to them so they can abuse it.
@sawmilldaren love the response video. I saw the original one you responded to before, that was an ugly sight. Knife skipping all over the place, etc. Can't see a lot in your video, but the sound (consistent) is good and can't argue with the results.
I also use bench stones (or a tormek), but I'd never do it for pay with those.. too slow. Especially on a knife that isn't going to go back to the stones constantly to to keep in shape.

They are "paper wheels" one is coated with fine aluminum oxide powder the other is prepped with jewelers rouge for polishing.
You can buy them online, just do a search for knife sharpening wheel.
