the tagalog language is always annoying to hear. it sounds obnoxious due to the sharp pronunciation of their words. Now french on the other hand...mmm very pleasant.
Why do people pay for such a basic thing is it hard to find a sharpener in stores. I payed $15 U.S. and can sharpen any knife to a razor edge. The only reason to go someplace is to get a new profile.
Who cares if he's not doing it right, I'm not watching this for instructions on how to sharpen knives properly. I think it's cool that he was able to put his four kids through school by doing this.
Besides, I don't exactly have a "Flintstones" style bench grinder sitting in my garage.
In most filipino household people dont know how to sharpen knives. They also buy el-cheapo knives for the maids to use. So the "manghahasa" plies a good trade. Its not discussed here, But most think a "Steel Honer" is used to sharpened knives. When its actual use is to maintain a blade's edge. Yes bumps do occur in knives blade during constant use. It will not sharpen it.
wow, u know your knives :D thanks for the comment. i hope u understand filipino, that's the medium i used while interviewing mang ben on a hot saturday
That knife and certenly most every knife this guy runs into are not differentially heat treated. Thats not to say I think he's doing a quality job, but he's probably charging $1 a knife so what can you expect.

I have a Smiths 3in1 but plan on getting a Gatco or maybe a Spyderco sharpmaker.
