quality knives sharpen better than cheep knives so just use 40 or 50 dallar knives and free hand sharpening is really hard and it took me about a week o practiceto learn
If I may make a guess, maybe the whetstone doesn't work when you hold it up like that because it has no way to apply force against anything. Keep the whetstone on the desk maybe?
your katana's are convex you need to sharpen them accordingly. as for the scandi ground knives just get a diamond rod and you will be fine. with a diamond rod you can feel when you have the right angle because it bites into the steel. hope it works out for you
I recommend you get a smiths pocket sharpener. They have the angle like that one that scrapes off tons of metal, but it doesnt seem to take as much off. Also you might invest in a strap, (or just a leather belt I guess could work) and some oil for it. Use the strap each day, and it usually keeps the edge going after it is properly sharp. You might check back in cutlerylovers videos to find out more about it.
Just buy high quality knives aus 8 steel sharpens real easy I never buy 420 stainless its cheap it won't hold an edge and won't sharpen good. Spyderco,crkt,or cold steel knives are best
on another note watch videos on how to use the lansky system, that will put a decent edge on it, it is awesome for reprofiling, but you still need to strop after using that for a good edge
get yourself a strop and strop your knives on a consistent basis, you cant mess it up really its easy enough and if you do that you should never really have to sharpen with other means
It is not a straigh knife, so firstly it is wrong to try to edge it in one direction. Imagine like to "draw"the shape of the knife in the rock, making a curve.
you have to do the wet stone for a long time it take time to get it right but just keep going for a lest 20 min every day and your knife will get very nice :)
@TolstoyKafkaEvsky had to change my comment my bad just wanted to say thank you for responding and I have been a fan of your for awhile. Honestly they "derp" have it coming but I hope you never have to use one of your weapons (even in self defense) but you got to do what you got to do. Take it easy. My bad for the last comment at the end just realized what I wrote.
counting the minutes for the moment you get to get your ass shot for trying to cut someone with a knife? LMFAO. and you always make fun of southern voices when you obviously talk that way but try to force yourself not to, but it still slips out.
One of the best ways to sharpen a knife and help keep a sharp edge is to use a sharpening stone, and then follow up regularly with a strop and some abrasive paste. A strop is basically the long leather belt looking thing hanging in a traditional barber shop that you see barbers sharpening their razors on in movies and such. If you can find a strop, you can probably find the paste on the same website or in the same store.
Honestly dude those wet stones aren't any good. I have bought countless different cheap knife sharpeners and I got one for like 160 that has a belt sander and an angle adjustment. The wet stone is hard to keep the same angle after each swipe.
I'm kinda the same way when it comes to tools, luckly my skills lie in other areas, areas that are more suited for where I live, witch is in the city, and of all cities, its Portland, so because of the thriving music scene and the job I have, I can't build a house or sharpen a blade, but I can set up a drum kit in a few minutes, and change the strings on almost any stringed instruments, Meh.
stropping ur knife is very important when it comes to maintaining that edge.......search a guy named cutlrylover here on youtube.....his edc knives are always really sharp
@TolstoyKafkaEvsky you should do another ratchet and clank action figure. and i also think The gun Zach had in the dreamcast review was a daisy powerline 880. the only pellet gun i have
One thing that most people don't get, is just go with it, even if you don't exactly understand it, because sometimes it may not seem like something little matters, but its there, so theres obviously a reason for it, also patience.
I really don't know.If it were me,I'd use the accusharp for about twenty minutes just to make sure it's sharp.Normally the more work you put into something,the better it turns out.
I have a smith's sharpening system and it's easy as hell and I'm technically challenged as well. I usually do 10 reps on each side with 5 sets....to utilize workout terms hahah
also the Gerber knife sharpeners for 2-3 dollars are pretty good or if you want really sharp edges look at cutlery lovers tutorials he has a lot of vids about that subject
Plucking the blade - it should literally grab at your fingerprint. Some also look at the edge of the blade under a light and see if they can see the edge shine back at them (indicating a flat spot, IE if it were *perfectly* sharp absolutely no light would reflect back from the very edge).
I would consider this video more of a semi-rant or a "help me" video (aka title sums up what your video is about).
And as others have stated, find a weapons/blades forum that seems helpful if you have any questions such as sharpening or even buying suggestions like "Should I really buy this Master Sword replica or should I just save my money for something else?"
I apologize if I wasn't that helpful since I'm not that much of an expert on blades.
@TolstoyKafkaEvsky For swords go watch jeeperrandy's vid on sword polishing stropping technique. It's a very fine polishing technique and you can't really screw it up, but it's only good for maintaining an edge or finishing the edge off (also works with knives). For knife sharpening look up CarterCutlery's vids. In one he sharpened a knife with a cinder block and cardboard, not saying anyone go try that but it just proves - 99% technique 1% equitpment. Hope that helps.
Speaking of blades and all, do you have a suggestion for a good beginners 'every day' knife? just looking for a nice blade for work, cutting boxes an straps and what not.
@zanuha something cheap i guess, im not sure of an exact range. ideally no more than $20 but im not sure if that can even buy a respectable "cheap" knife
About your comment on learning guitar how you have to start early, you are pretty damn right. I'm 14, and I've played for 5 years, you don't know how pissed I get when I hear about people who learn to play as a way to "pick up chicks". They are pretty derp, I mean it's art and some people expect to have it happen instantly and only want the pay off. I have hard enough callouses to be able to pick up a boiling pot of water for a few minutes :P
totally agree with you about the derp views on what is a "warrior" I find it infuriating to use a gym now since there are too many people in there lifting unnecessarily huge weights and flexing their mussels in the mirror.
ive always just used a whetstone for my knives and sword, never had any trouble, sometimes you can just have trouble getting it sharp, sometimes you just need to try harder
If I remember right using a whetstone you have to put a lot of pressure on it and spend plenty time on it, like an hour, half an hour, but I'm not sure
by the way you look kinda white , you might want to get a Incandescent light bulb or turn your camera setting to sunlight so you your skin looks more natural not white and pale like a zombie
I'd recommend hitting up blade forums, they have a section of the board just for sharpening. I've gotten the best advice from there. last comment on this vid i swear.
@TolstoyKafkaEvsky No problem man. I do have two videos up on my channel about the edge pro apex showing how to use it and the results of me sharpening my first knife on it if you are interested. I've also got a spyderco triangle sharpmaker and a leather strop. the sharpmaker is good for maintaining an edge but if it's too dull it takes forever to use. right now i'm teaching myself to freehand sharpen on a little pocket ceramic stone before i go all out on japanese or arkansas wet stones.
Cuting in paper is the worst thing to do with a knife, its makes it less sharper and you have to sharpen it again. and now you guys FUCKING LISTEN! dont fucking write: 'blablabla no you are wrong blablabla you suck at knife's blablabla. SHUT UP, you are wrong BITCH!' BTW keep up the good work TKE
I have an Accusharp, it touches up my machetes pretty well, But like you said katanas are a BIG no no. I'm also too scared of risking damage to my one and only medieval sword.
With basic sharpening it's best to maintain the original angle. the best way to see if you are maintaining an angle is to cover the edge in Sharpie. as you sharpen the sharpie will come off and you can see if you are matching the angle. if you aren't hitting the same angle then you will need to spend more time because you are reprofiling the edge.
Lansky is a good basic sharpening system. There are several other more expensive systems like the edge pro and the wicked edge but if you aren't having luck with lansky you might want to consider the work sharp knife sharpener. It's basically a mini-belt sander that comes with several different grits. it's got an angle guide so you just pull the knife through a few times on each side.
The sharpest blades I have ever used were in a restaurant kitchen I worked in. They were professionally sharpened every few weeks. Probably not the best option for most people though.
Appereantly, I'm not hard enough on myself. Everyone in the real world takes great satisfaction in telling me how worthless I am as a human being. In fact, my entire life I've had this sick fascination that has stemmed from societie's reaction to me, always pondering on how exactly you're supposed to JUDGE a human. Is skin color a factor? What about religion? It's like they don't want you to ask these questions that are inferred when they tell me I'm nothing.
I know this might sound off topic but Tolstoy, why is American McGee's Alice one of your favorite games of all time? Just wondering since I just finished the PlayStation 3 port of it and I did enjoy the art style, story, and voice acting of the game but it was as hard as can be but I still had fun with it and will move onto Madness Returns after a couple of days have passed. Also, speaking of Madness Returns, have you got to play it yet and if so, what are your opinions about it?
I actually use hard branches, and wood for self defense XD Their free, and easy to get if you live across from a forest preserve. Yes I'm a nature type of guy.
I think your knives are sharp, it's that limber computer paper. Try it out on one of those cards that fall out of magazines, I bet it'll work far better there.
Tolstoy do you go on 4chan? or was someone impersonating you? cause I encountered someone who was saying your weapon collection was yours and when I questioned them they said no they weren't you but posted a picture of you doing a "oh you" face
That was me. You really freaked me out, and actually got me laughing pretty hard. I assume you were the one posting the pictures of Dark Sachboy and commanding me to do as you instructed. You even suggested that the reason the big daddy action figure fell on me that one time was because it was pushed by dark sackboy. I recounted this story with my close circle of friends over drinks and we made merry.
@TolstoyKafkaEvsky I wasn't posting the Dark Sachboy stuff, all I really asked is if you were Tolstoy, I wanted to keep posting but I was just leaving as I noticed the thread. I never would have guessed you of all people would go on 4chan :P (that was a joke) I do however feel quite enthralled that I am talking to you (I really do hate to gush out like that)
Most people who go to the gym to lift weights these days train for "short muscles" (buff-looking) instead of "long muscles" (effective). The pathetic thing about these people is that they don't do anything with these muscles, they just want to look like they do. I personally work a SHIT-ton at home, helping my dad with stuff around the house since he has a bad back. And by doing this I have just as large muscles as most derps going to the gym.
if u go to a knife shop they have a liquid that you spread over the edge of the blade and it strengthens the edge and it keeps it sharp for like way longer
Try making the passes even. For instance, 10 passes on one side of the blade and then 10 on the other. Make it as even as possible. Also try looking through cutlerylovers intense number of videos I could have sworn I've seen a couple of sharpening videos.

I think you suppose lay the side of the knife to the stone as angle of the knife.
But what you do is decide the angle of the edge you want and grinding the edge against it.
Kitchen knife use water as lube for the stone may be you can try that then oil your knife afterward. Good luck : )
The wet stone don't need to be big cause you can bring the knife to the stone or stone to the knife.

Arent you sharpening the wrong way? I didn't think you were supposed to have the sharp end sliding forwards the stone?

I'd recommend hitting up blade forums, they have a section of the board just for sharpening. I've gotten the best advice from there. last comment on this vid i swear.

@TolstoyKafkaEvsky No problem man. I do have two videos up on my channel about the edge pro apex showing how to use it and the results of me sharpening my first knife on it if you are interested. I've also got a spyderco triangle sharpmaker and a leather strop. the sharpmaker is good for maintaining an edge but if it's too dull it takes forever to use. right now i'm teaching myself to freehand sharpen on a little pocket ceramic stone before i go all out on japanese or arkansas wet stones.

Cuting in paper is the worst thing to do with a knife, its makes it less sharper and you have to sharpen it again. and now you guys FUCKING LISTEN! dont fucking write: 'blablabla no you are wrong blablabla you suck at knife's blablabla. SHUT UP, you are wrong BITCH!' BTW keep up the good work TKE

I have an Accusharp, it touches up my machetes pretty well, But like you said katanas are a BIG no no. I'm also too scared of risking damage to my one and only medieval sword.

With basic sharpening it's best to maintain the original angle. the best way to see if you are maintaining an angle is to cover the edge in Sharpie. as you sharpen the sharpie will come off and you can see if you are matching the angle. if you aren't hitting the same angle then you will need to spend more time because you are reprofiling the edge.

Lansky is a good basic sharpening system. There are several other more expensive systems like the edge pro and the wicked edge but if you aren't having luck with lansky you might want to consider the work sharp knife sharpener. It's basically a mini-belt sander that comes with several different grits. it's got an angle guide so you just pull the knife through a few times on each side.

The sharpest blades I have ever used were in a restaurant kitchen I worked in. They were professionally sharpened every few weeks. Probably not the best option for most people though.

Appereantly, I'm not hard enough on myself. Everyone in the real world takes great satisfaction in telling me how worthless I am as a human being. In fact, my entire life I've had this sick fascination that has stemmed from societie's reaction to me, always pondering on how exactly you're supposed to JUDGE a human. Is skin color a factor? What about religion? It's like they don't want you to ask these questions that are inferred when they tell me I'm nothing.

I know this might sound off topic but Tolstoy, why is American McGee's Alice one of your favorite games of all time? Just wondering since I just finished the PlayStation 3 port of it and I did enjoy the art style, story, and voice acting of the game but it was as hard as can be but I still had fun with it and will move onto Madness Returns after a couple of days have passed. Also, speaking of Madness Returns, have you got to play it yet and if so, what are your opinions about it?

Tolstoy do you go on 4chan? or was someone impersonating you? cause I encountered someone who was saying your weapon collection was yours and when I questioned them they said no they weren't you but posted a picture of you doing a "oh you" face

@koolioman12
That was me. You really freaked me out, and actually got me laughing pretty hard. I assume you were the one posting the pictures of Dark Sachboy and commanding me to do as you instructed. You even suggested that the reason the big daddy action figure fell on me that one time was because it was pushed by dark sackboy. I recounted this story with my close circle of friends over drinks and we made merry.
TolstoyKafkaEvsky 7 months ago
@TolstoyKafkaEvsky I wasn't posting the Dark Sachboy stuff, all I really asked is if you were Tolstoy, I wanted to keep posting but I was just leaving as I noticed the thread. I never would have guessed you of all people would go on 4chan :P (that was a joke) I do however feel quite enthralled that I am talking to you (I really do hate to gush out like that)

Most people who go to the gym to lift weights these days train for "short muscles" (buff-looking) instead of "long muscles" (effective). The pathetic thing about these people is that they don't do anything with these muscles, they just want to look like they do. I personally work a SHIT-ton at home, helping my dad with stuff around the house since he has a bad back. And by doing this I have just as large muscles as most derps going to the gym.

if u go to a knife shop they have a liquid that you spread over the edge of the blade and it strengthens the edge and it keeps it sharp for like way longer
modog4000 7 months ago
Try making the passes even. For instance, 10 passes on one side of the blade and then 10 on the other. Make it as even as possible. Also try looking through cutlerylovers intense number of videos I could have sworn I've seen a couple of sharpening videos.
