That's how you traditionally sharpen a scandi grind. Judging by the old mans dialect he's a Sami. If any people knows knives it's the Sami, and the man in the video has probably sharpened more knives than most of us have ever even held.
If you can hold a consistent angle and you're not an idiot that will slice his fingers off, this sharpening method will get a knife just as sharp as any other--faster probably, too, as you don't have to make full consistent strokes. I imagine it is convexing the edge slightly unless your hand is *very* steady--all freehand sharpening convexes to some degree simply because of slight inconsistencies in motion. All sharpening is, is rubbing what you're trying to sharpen on something hard to remove
@wcropp1 material and re-align the edge angle. You could sharpen with a slab of concrete and a piece of cardboard if you had to. I guarantee this works if you do it right. It's not much different than making small circles, or making a back and forth motion. It's basically just a combination of all possible sharpening motions done in quick succession-not rocket science. As a side note, Mora makes some of the best knives you can buy for the price they're available at. Mine cuts like a laser.
Just got a Mora. Loving the razor sharp edge I got on it with my sharperners (diamond, arkansas and a strop). Unfortunately, this video won't help sharpening newbies. Fortunately, there are tons of sharpening videos on youtube. Some are better than others, but the good ones are usually pretty easy to spot.
i am interested in this.......it looks dangerous, however according to one post here its a traditional technique!
I love learning the culture of different country's, especially regarding knives. can someone explain to me why this technique is better and how it was created. it looks really dangerous, is it effective compared to other sharpening methods?
@CivilianSheepdog No advantage. In the last 40 years, I have tried most of the techniques out there. They all work. Pick one and practice until you get it right. I suggest you don't practice on a good knife. A common problem with beginners is that they try one technique, probably don't get very good results at first then try something else. Pick a method and stick to it. It's a learning process and you will never learn if you keep changing methods.
@RandomTask2008 Hi, I also ike Mora knives particularly the laminated ones. Your name "Random task" got my attention as it was a model of Kershaw knife designed by ken Onion and was one of the first assisted openers made. It was a very high quality knife with a warncliff style blade. I do not know if it is on Utube but it is on google images. Thought that may be of interest to you, or you may already know it.
@labrat7357 I borrowed that name from the "Austin Powers" movie: A.P. Int'l. Man of Mystery. Yes it's easy to fall in love with knives, they are just so fascinating. I see from your bio that you live in Australia. Have you ever looked @ the acetreemaster vids on youtube? Pretty exciting stuff there if you like tree cutting!
This is a Scandinavian tecnique used the last couple of hundred years (long before diamond sharpeners were available). May be not the first lesson for boy scouts, but the way professianals and skilled craftsmen do it.
If you don't like it - don't practice it, as you have to be skilled not to ruin the edge angle. ONLY for skilled craftsmen who knows what they are doing!
I would think that would be horrible for the blade. Is this someone who knows what they're doing? This isn't some technique unique to a Scandinavian grind is it?
@cptAvocado Noticed a few scandi bush-crafters who aren't too adverse to using a knife towards themselves. Thought it was a bit crazy first few times, but... It's always under control and in a way that won't land the blade in your ribs. Just a matter of being aware, some common sense and putting the force into the job more then the knife. As a Kukri user (which can be cumbersome), when it comes to sharpening, sometimes it's just best or only way to get the angles correct.

Even skilled craftsmen don't do this because it is too easy to ruin the edge. Look around, ask knife makers, learn.

Insanely horrible technique to draw the blade TOWARD your fingers/palm. You are doing it wrong.
