  • lol i thought you were Ray Mears before I saw you

  • Will this work on a knife with a black coating on it without taking the coat off?

  • Nice video, but dang!  That's some loud music at the beginning

  • Very helpful, thank you

  • is there any thing you can used insted of that jap. stone?

  • @igneous061 Yes. I sharpen professionally. Go to a hardware store and get what's called an Arkansas stone or polishing stone. Rough grit. Proceed as he said. Then take a piece of marble or go to walmart and get a diamond hone. The absolute most important part is to strop your edge. Just take a leather belt or denim jeans and rub the edge back and forth like a barber with a straight razor. This removes knicks and burs on the edge and fills in micro structure gaps along the edges bevel.

  • @igneous061 use whatever you want. However, if you don't feel like spending around $50 for a good stone, then you either have cheap knives or don't care enough about them.

  • Good video. Nice to see people showing how a knife should REALLY be sharpened. Also, ignore the idiots yammering about the house in the background. Who cares where the video is shot, so long as the information is correct and useful! Greetings from Aus. Keep up the good work!

  • Japanese Water stone...Few & only people knows what's up.

  • Please tell me what this song is called I love it!

  • Boy Scouts learn to never point a knife towards yourself or anyone else. I suggest not sharpening towards yourself or you could get hurt.

  • What about knives that have a smaller serrated edge, same deal or should I just avoid sharpening that part of the blade ? ( its close to the hilt )

  • how do you spell the knife sharpener at 3:19

  • @flamingskullsairsoft dmz diamond hone

  • i think he is doing it wrong ,you don't go twords the edge ,it goes backwards

  • Anyone els catch the house in the background at 2:23?

  • You used the Nagura on the wrong stone. It's for the polishing stone. Other than that, decent video.

  • When I sharpen a knife I don't cut into the stone because I can't seem to get a good edge and it also for me at lest make's it quicker.Thanks for the video;it was very helpful!

  • When in the wildernes make sure you don't film a 2 story white house with a deck in the background of your movie. But Thanks for the knife sharpening.

  • @rhetoric2 lol

  • tough stuff!

  • "When you're away from civilisation"... There's a huge white house in the back ground lolllll Priceless!

  • So you're saying i could sharpen my knife in the shower

  • wow survial skills when ur in the bush u cant find a perfect stone

  • "away from civilisation" LOL @ the cars driving by in the background @ 2.11

  • how do you do this with a small ceramic sharpener?

  • I use a diamond sharpener just like the one you've shown here. Problem is I can't get any of my blades sharp at all to save my life. How much pressure should I apply? I hear applying too much pressure dulls the blade rather than sharpening it. I would just like to get my blades sharp enough to shave hair off of my arm. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • @CBBMachineGun1988 DEPENDS on what kind of knife and what kind of angles and pressure to press down always start at an 45 degree angle if you use an stone most hand held sharpeners like yours or showed always do it heavy to get those dink and chips out but very lightly if it an routine sharpening.

  • @CBBMachineGun1988 you need to develop a burr by working one side then the other, once the edge is right, knock that off (hone) with only a few passes, leaving a micro-serrated edge. It's like bending a piece of wire back and forth until it breaks cleanly off. Also different knives are designed with different angles or styles of grinds, some are convex, others flat (scandi), some have a double-bevel etc.

  • @CBBMachineGun1988 Those diamonds are fairly course, may need to progress to wet&dry, a whet-stone, or a strop for shaving sharp depending on the quality and hardness of the metal in your knife.

  • Anyone else clench their teeth when we was rubbing the knife on the stone?

  • @DorianmacPhee54 i did

  • WTF??? as if i'm gonna carry 2 stones in a survival situation

  • @celestialvoyager82 a real man always has 2 stones at all times. . .until he gets married, then the wife carries them in her purse.

  • Lol you can see cars in the backround

  • @Itachi7197 and? its not meant to be in the wild, its meant to teach you how to sharpen your freaking knife.

  • hehe he said lubricate!!!

  • @Jecool242 are you like 5 or something?

  • @djphilmore no it was a lame joke?

  • @Jecool242 hmm...i couldve sworn the last time i heard someone laugh at that was kindergarden..

  • Comment removed

  • @djphilmore i'm gonna have to disagree, it had to be preschool. i like this video though

  • @vono360 agreed. good video.

  • @djphilmore haha i was bored, why would i else watch someone sharpen his knife?

  • That knife looks like its been sharpend so much it used to be 2 times bigger

  • i like these videos but i find it funny how its bushcrafting videos and there is a house and a road in the backround

  • @5xfunny You don't need to actually be in the bush to make a video about sharpening your knives...

  • @5xfunny You never heard of backyard camping? Sometimes your schedule wont allow a full excursion into deep woods but you want to test out a new tent or a new firestarter and just enjoy being outdoors. Deep woods or wilderness camping is the best but sometimes you just got to take what you can get.

  • it's DMT not DMZ, and the nagura should only be used on the 6000grit stone..

  • which grade of stone do you reconmend?

  • Creepy music?

    Just whack out your left headphone ;) ITs all good!

  • that knife has a very steep and long bevel, it is beautiful. however, manyknife bevels are about a mm long, making it almost impossible to find the sharpening angle in that way. you can usually find it by looking down the side of the knife and placing the bevel flush with the stone.

  • Not bad, but I do have a few comments. First, that's not a single beveled knife, it's a scandi grind. A minor mistake but I want to point it out. Second, you have to rotate the blade more at the tip than lift; easier to show than describe. I mention this because I can see you're not getting the very tip. Lastly the fine side looks a little dished- Japanese synthetic water stones need to be periodically lapped flat.

    Otherwise, nice vid. Stay sharp.

  • ray takes the cake man sorry

  • 0:00 to skip adds

  • tool theres a house right there

  • @SuperJabomb Everyone knows that houses prevent you from sharpening knives.

  • notice theres a house and cars driving in the distance

  • Steel that is impregnated by diamonds? They are doing some amazing things in the U.K.

  • D M Zee..? Fagot! Since when did the british say Zee..?

  • I use my leathermans diamond file, it does a good job (what I consider a good job for my experience with knives)

  • your suposed to use the nagura stone on the fine stone not the course side

  • OM....G!!! Could youtube be any slower

  • what knife is that?

  • thanks for the vid really helpful but can i sharpen a stainless knife with a japanese water stone

  • How much does.the stone block cost?

  • Music level was a bit drastic, though it was coming from another website?

  • I wouldn't mind watching more of these videos but I don't want to have to sift through the environmentalist fucktard videos. I'm all about preserving the environment by the way, I just don't need a group of discontent hippies to tell me how.

  • camp in the woods not in a park u bum

  • my name is andrew

  • Water always makes things wetter...

  • what a bullshit! pathetic boyscout

  • @Gorlung excuse me? you have a problem with the boyscouts? Why is it because the can school you in outdoor anything? what a pethetic comment on your part

  • @Gorlung You must be a drunk russian

  • theres cars in the back ground lol fail

  • my friends this is not bushcraft. this is comfortable sitting around not hungry and happily sharpening a knife that you will never use with materials that you will never have in a survival situation. learn to sharpen a knife with a common coarse stone.

  • @hanghoodiescum random but true

  • @hanghoodiescum Dude, every god damn video I go on has comments about just bieber. I guess no category or genre of video is safe.....lol

  • @hanghoodiescum Dude.. Why the fuck even bring him up? Shut the fuck up and watch the video

  • @MetalLogannxD Shut a fuck up, Fag.

  • @hanghoodiescum

    as much as i dislike him, he does get the girls. props from one man to another, respect where its due.

    dont hate, jealousy is a female trait, bro.

  • only sound on L channel in intro :/ nice vid

  • Vynikající návod !!!

  • Nice bush survival at your local playground

  • I like the video by the way.

  • lol the music started and i was like "where the fuck is that music coming from"

  • Comment removed

  • @TheTrappybeaver Hahaha same here....even turned down the tv before thinking it must be coming from shit thats running on my pc so I opened the taskmanager and than the music ended anyhow.

  • yea thats some neat preparing for a survival situation at its best cause I doubt its very practical to pack that huge and as you say heavy Japanese sharpening stone plus the other small one and having to use water(I dont know about spit) and crap... soooo thats some fancy shit you would be doing at home which you might have intended to do anyway in that case forget what I just said....lol the thought is what counts =) good spirit!!!

  • @TheTrappybeaver LOPLLLL

  • I love how hes camping out with a fire and stuff and theres cars and a house in the background. good vid tho

  • does this weredown

  • I bought one of dmz doesnt really do anything. where did you buy your water stone at?

  • @nightwalker2830 I'm inexperienced, but the dmz is for honing--keeping the tip true and straight. It doesn't actually sharpen, you'll need the water stone for that (hardware store should carry them)

  • What brand of knife is that, who makes it??

  • How long should someone spend sharpening their blade?

  • @xV13TCONGx i'm pretty inexperienced but i'm sure you'd want to spend least amount of time possible because the more you sharpen the more you're taking off the blade and it only takes like maybe 5-10 passes on each side of the blade to sharpen it from what i hear

  • what do you like better the water stones or the other sharpener

  • i think the sharpening stone is called dmt, diamond sharpening stone, i have never heard of a dmt, but could be wrong, anyway they are very good, and as for the knife, it looks like a woodlore type clone to me, there are many of them about now, made by various makers, i'm pritty sure its not a falkniven.

    hope this helps

    lee.

  • 1 better is a preset sharper that u can wear around your neck

  • Can someone PLEASE tell me what knife that is? Please PM me, I want a knife like that so badly!

  • @666eistee It's the Fallkniven F1 from Sweden.

  • @questionmarke I've googled it, and it looks not really like the knife in this video. I keep on searching, thanks anyway! :)

  • @questionmarke

    its not the falkniven mate, the falkniven has a convex grind, and that knife has a scandie grind.

  • Whoa where did u buy that diamond blue handle sharpening stone

  • I wonder where I can find a knife-sharpening class.

  • i cant get my knife sharp and doing the same way your doing it

  • @nightwalker2830 Its very, very hard to get it right. I've been practicing for about two weeks and only now can i get ANY edge.

  • this guy is not camping. theres a house in the background what the hell????

  • my grandad gave me a knife thata like 40-60 years old and it has a bit of rust is it still good

  • Do you use the Nagura stone (Sorry if spelling wrong) on the second mustard side?

  • Gotta Keep em sharp! Good job.

  • lol, 3L53 oops is there a house and a road in the background :-) not much camping in the wild ;-)

  • what a dork

  • so would you say that the diamond sharpener is as good or better than the stone

  • @loku1125 the stone is way better, better use a DC4 (one side diamond and the other ceramic) if you are on survival.

  • living in a homeless camp???

  • I like that he goes very slowly when sharpening. I see so many people try to do this quickly. One wrong stroke, poor angle, and the entire sharpness is lost.

  • what do you do if you have a double bevel knife?

  • Can anyone help me out and tell me what kind of stone should I get for a cold steel recon scout ? Thanx

  • A nagura stone is not needed on a stone that coarse.

  • to mutch money

  • From 1 to 10 how sharp does my knife get?

  • @KALfilms If you do it the way he shows you, you'll probably end up with a flat piece of metal. you don't need any paste, just the Japanese water stone and of course to soak that stone before using, all he was doing was sliding his knife across a stone with absolutely no affect. It doesn't take a film crew, stool, tent and ridiculous clothing to figure that out. and remember, you don't have to be in a total strangers yard filming a series no body likes, to sharpen a knife.

  • i tried this and i failed miserably

  • Another top video, thanks. Is the slury generated by using the norgura stone from the break down of norgura stone or from the larger parent stone?

  • I sharpen with a cheesy cheap ass wetstone, doesn't even have to be wet anymore, I do it by eye and by sensing with the fingertips and I get it so sharp it's like a razor. Never do this. Always try and stretch your blade out away from you to achieve maximum sharpness. Doing this will ensure your blade has a rounded blade after a few uses.

  • a burr is the sharpest the blade will take,harden like the Buck knife which is 60

    rockwell hardness, just pull it toward you on a piece of wood that will remove the bur. one way to test

    the sharpness is touch the blade at about 45 degrese on your finger nail if it slips

    not sharp every 1/2 inch or cutting a piece of paper.

  • Is there a correct way to sharpen a knife in the field i.e without the stone or tools?

  • Shouldn't you pull towards you when you sharpen, like from dull to sharp?

  • you cutting the stone not sharping to the max sharpness,turn the blade the other way

    to sharpen the blade not cutting the stone, you are sharpening and dulling at the same time

  • @oldmanben100 From what Ive read that causes small burrs.

  • wow great vid. what kind of knife is that?

  • what was the knife

  • I'm not so sure I'd trust a European to teach me survival...Unless he was SAS :D 

  • @Rossco139

    why not???

  • @Rossco139

    I'm not sure you know a thing about history...

  • @BrutalisRock, By the sounds of him I'd say not, God England is full of blokes & girls that know their sh-t, Ray Mears is a very good example, not to mention the various regiments but when it comes down to it, it really is a bit of knowledge, common sense & putting what you know into practice!

    I think Rossco should do some research but there is 1 bloke that I only found out about a couple of nights ago, Frederick Russell Burnham, he was one hell of a man, read the wiki...amazing stuff!!!

  • @anzac2404

    I think this particular level of stupidity needs more than some research.

    BTW I just read the wiki page, thanks man.

    

  • @BrutalisRocky, No worries....what did you think of him, Fred Burnham I mean? To say that he had an amazing life is putting it mildly but it wasn't without its costs, ie: lost 2 children young.

    I think if he had gone any further he might have ended up being a royal...well he wasn't far from it..."bloody yanks, they'll shag anything with tits & a pulse" LOL; just kidding, although your navy does get around a bit!

    DF's should not have offspring, Why God WHY??!!! Cheers.

  • Firstly; only combination Japanese waterstones are double sided. Combination stones are harder to keep flat and don't last as long. Secondly: you don't use the nagura stone until you move on to the polishing stones. Thirdly; he's not using enough water on the stone. Especially when he first began on the coarser side. That would scratch your bevel to shit then you'd have to spend ages polishing the scratches out!

  • great vid, why are people so harsh about the fact that your not 5 miles in the woods when doing this. as far as im concerned you dont need to be. show me how to make a spear in your living room, i will get the point!

  • he is doing it wrong.

  • do you have to paste the mustard side too? or is it good as is?

  • take it easy, its just a demonstration, if u dont like just leave dont be a bitch about, obviously he isnt really bushcrafting cause theres cars in the background, its just a demonstration

  • Do you use the paste on the fine or mustard side?

  • fantastic video. Very informative! keep it up

  • Good video.

  • my video im playing to make will be better

  • what tent is that? (cool vid)

  • wow it seems like no one elso is saying it so i will. great vid man. keep em comming. why are you guys watching these vid if all you are going to do is critisize. i dont see any of your guyses vids.

  • were you in margam park sunday and monday.

  • @mrgarethboy1 yes andrew was

  • @undercurrentspaulo whare can i buy that dmz sharpening stone???

  • were you in margam park sunday and monday.

  • My knife is also scratched but very sharp!

  • A sheet of 800-grit abrasive paper does the job well enough,and weighs almost nothing. Japanese water-stones! Trendy bullshit!

  • And also round your edge over giving you a convex edge.

  • Wow thanks alot, now my knife is not even close to be sharp and it is fucking scratched.

  • @goldatra3 then u must of done the process wrong if ur knife is scratched

  • i carry everything on my back, sixty pounds, (like 25 kilos i think) i couldnt carry a stool or a tent with me!

  • Yay... another mouth breathing internet cammando who thinks he knows more about Bushcraft than someone who does it for a living.... you guys make me laugh... in future stick to porn and wanking into your sock...

  • says the one who can't spell commando right

  • You'r stupid ! XD

  • H's an arm chair elitist.

  • @Draka3l Sorry, wrong bouton I wanted to send that to someone and I do a comment . .
