How to Care for Knives : How to Sharpen a Knife: Basic Knife Care

[timesplitingking]

My paper weight costs more than all those knives

[newcoyote]

I can see it now. The Expert video how to for women to fuel up their car. "Pull into a gas station. Phone AAA. Wait." Fuck off EV. You're waste of band width.

[HossuFlaviu]

Go back than look at video's thumbnail...That's the only reason why i'm here lol.Look's like an epic vagina :P

[miniflipjr]

Can I sharpen it with a rock?

[JustinBaker2567]

These sharpeners only work if your knife is the exact angle of the sharpener......which is unlikely.

[youfallhard]

can you tell me, john, how to sharpen a convex edge. ha id like to see you try and skin something with that knife you didnt even get the tip

[melvinmurphy]

dont worry about how to sharpen your fighting knife,first of all buy yourself a k-bar the best knife ever made.they are still being made.during my stay in vietnam i ruined many charlies days.

[Winobie75]

How do I wipe my ass correctly; Basic ass care.

[melvinmurphy]

first you must take two fingers,understand?two fingers are you sure two fingers?ok,make sure you are not in a fridged area.then you just sling it off,beware !!if your finger hits a cold rock,you may have the tendecy to stick your fingers in your mouth and say,ummmmmmmm!

[acoow]

Rename the video:

"How to ruin the edge of a knife"

[blaszilla]

Seriously, why is this considered expert knowledge? It's not even close to correct! You don't even have honing oil or a stone.

[CalSingh]

Expert village is more like troll village. I don't think they've had one helpful video.

[alexnuva2000]

The best way to sharpen a knife, is the old technique, a stone taht ben dipped in oil for one night( japenesse techinque^^)

[jimmy562]

..i wanna stab this guy

[diesel5355]

thank god they cut him off early

[Dave54600]

Ray Mears is the man if you want to learn how to do this properly.

[medidyomom2]

I would use those with a cheap pocket knife but not with a good kn ife.

[BusaFalconer]

terrible!

[FighterAceee94]

@BusaFalconer

what else can you expect from expert village...

[doggypup12]

haha the thumb nail looks like a vjj

[Mussletopf]

Oh, it´s a how-to for dumbasses from people who don´t know shit.. should be posted in the title

[jedidraco89]

@Mussletopf lol why did you watch it then

[McFunnyCunt]

that was the most unhelpful knife sharpening vid i have ever seen

[nickbownz]

total idiot. this guy doesn't know shit about knives.

[gobacktorussia]

do NOT put scissors in there! scissors have one bevel and one flat side, that sharpener has 2 cutting edges and will RUIN you knife

[MultiPolley]

dude when i wtched u shharpen that with that type of sharpener i cringed every single time

[duncan1488]

What about the end of the blade dumbass? That wal-mart special sharpener won't sharpen a knife. This guy is an IDIOT!!!!! expert village needs to start screening their experts!

[mtbikes13]

idiot

[JSM10069]

Thanks - now I know how to sharpen a knife!!

[fatidus]

what ever happened to stones and rocks? Expert village is freaking teaching how to sharpen with a retail sharpener. Pointless Video!

[mikeblan789]

i use a stone and it takes forever but does a nice job, things like these do an equal job and are much easier and faster for the average joe to use. if you want go make a video on how to sharpen but other wise thumbs down

[fatidus]

Okay i understand your comment, and i bet this product does do an excellent job, but there is no point of this video because its kind of obvious how to use the tool!

[ThaiBox2007]

I can't stand Expert village. Almost all their videos are complete BS. Jack of all trades masters of none.

[shonuffisthemaster]

your right, your knives ARE expensive paperweights.

[danmonsterhog]

LOL

[MrMageras]

village idiots maybe?

[isaac000016]

He's an "Expert" At sharpening knives because he tells you how to pass a blade through a retail SHARPENER and because "John Borg has cut and stacked wood and has cleaned chimneys since young adulthood. " Really..."Expert" Village?

[heiheit]

I can't believe anybody would actually condone using these!! these kind of sharpeners Scrape metal off and completely ruin an edge. what a joke.

[guilio14]

my knife cant even cut jaffa cakes altho i did realise my knife was a bathroom sponge so that mite have some to do with it

[Blood1Zero]

expert village needs to learn how to make one long video with the whole lesson not little 30sec clips and get people that know what there talking about i mean come on.

[bobsamurai]

use a damn wetstone

[angus10456]

this guy fails at life

[calko420]

would have been shorter to just say buy the sharpener and use it

[NauiDiver91]

why is he an expert????????

[atiedfly]

because of his matching black shirt and hat. he's a ninja. and few know more about knives than ninjas.

[Pyrolok12]

Don't use those kinds of sharpeners. They strip to much metal and will ruin your knife.

[leonhardtz5]

@Pyrolok12 I agree, for the most part. However, some of those style sharpeners actually use ceramic rods, which don't shave the metal off of the blade. I don't know if he was using one, but I have one that works pretty well.

[Pyrolok12]

@leonhardtz5 Well, the reason i say this, is because most people watching the videos are gonna go to walmart and buy the first sharpener that says its the best. I think when i posted that comment it was more aimed at people who aren't collectors or practitioners.

[GMSamuelRhine]

@Pyrolok12 Is it okay to use my sharpening stone?

[Pyrolok12]

@GMSamuelRhine No idea, I do not know what kind of stone you plan on using with what blade lol.

[GMSamuelRhine]

@Pyrolok12 not sure what kind of stone work, i just normally pay the guy at bass pro to sharpen my knife since it's only a dollar

[dirtrider169]

@Pyrolok12 so true

[FNHfal7]

One of the best ways to see if you have a good edge on your knife is grab some string........?

[guilio14]

thats funnt i wanted to put that but you beat me to it the best way to see if its shape is to grab some string lol

[Bmob]

Didnt like that Knife-Guy... try the other one from EV

[Saphiregun]

lol wow

[edmoloko]

nice paperweights.

[kirbyboy75]

he looks like the guy from vacancy 2 and he kill

[mostaafa123321]

go to hell !

[AKBOY92]

Expert village fails so badly, I hate all there video's There full of so much crap.

[jungleprimitive]

i know. they post everything cause they want to say like, ooo we have the most videos. but they all crap

[chibraxial]

For all of you who are complaining about low sound: add &fmt=18 after the video ID on your url bar and you'll have slightly better video quality and REALLY better sound.

Youtube conversion fucked the sound over.

Now stop bawing noobs.

[squirrelkiller47]

its all the fucking nigger's faults.hitler tried to save us,we didnt believe in his ways and here we are posting comments on how to sharpen a fucking knife.stupid fags, you should all be ashamed of yourself

[NuclearFallout1]

if i ever met you i would skin you alive you nazi piece of shit your the one that should be ashamed of yourself

[rolthox]

You should be ashamed of yourself...it's Jews not black people!

[EDBPVIDEO]

this is an expert? ? ? ? ? ?

[spartanica]

expert village, this video is a complete waste of space, and my precious electricity and time.. remove it now!

[kvaho]

"the best way to check and see if you have good edge on there..." ...is to stick the knife up your ass and see what happens.

[Taino187]

This video is laughable in its patheticness! =]

I had my volume on laptop at 100% and could barely hear the vid.

The vid stops suddenly without really explaining anything.

Experts dont use draw knife sharpeners, They sharpen freehand on stones.

Experts dont test sharpness on a piece of string, They at the very least shave a piece of paper or shave hair.

My grandpa was a knife expert. =P

[WongKonPow]

an "expert" isn't going to have a sharpener like that, they would be using stones, or convexing their edge with sandpaper and a honing block or leather strop, why are these videos so freaking wrong?

[worldwiderob]

...But for the lay-person or casual user, a guided sharpener that keeps a consistent angle would be best. Most folks aren't experts, so this vid is good for practicality.

[mattifikation]

The volume level on this video is very, very laptop unfriendly. :-(

[oLookaChickenPromo]

"A knife is nothing but an expensive paperweight if it doesn't have a good edge on the blade."

You know..

I see what you mean, but I bet if I went out and through any one of those knives into a riverbed and tried cut a slab of granite in half, I could still kill you with it.

[angryasian16]

where the fuck do these people get their experts from? im guessing the alley behind applebees or something

[amstyle]

Expert village sucks

[EthanJM]

Carbides are to remove damaged areas of a knife or sharpen only under extremely dull conditions.

[cowsrcool7658]

a minute and 20 seconds of my life just wasted watching this crap

[hebronsawyers]

Agreed

[spartanica]

and 30 seconds wasted by you posting this comment, and 25 seconds wasted by me replying to your post

[MerlinFarley]

wow thanks for the help douchebag, another fine piece of shit from the assholes at expert village

[jooishjoo]

you need a whetstone or a diamond sharpener not a carbide piece of shit

[sportsbot]

that sucks i have that in a drawr in my kitchen

[jediwill132]

yea this guy has no idea how to sharpen a knife, I'm a chef by occupation and we never use those shitty "sharpening tools" if you want a knife sharpened right go get a sharpening stone and work from there.

[guiltybystander77]

yup, he didn't even bother to edit the video properly.

hes not much of an "expert"...

[blakkat28]

This expert is LAME.

DO NOT ever sharpen a knife like this guy does, tons of better videos on youtube

[beenohopps]

its too bad they have videos like this.

[arkridgepardus]

1) Speak Louder

2) teach how to sharpen with a whetstone

[nicopita97]

yeah they need to but them are getting harder to find all this new shit takes over

[nakedbullwinkle]

I cant fucking hear you.......my volume it full blast and the volume is up on full blast,,,,next..............

[mysticalwoodsman]

Not to be rude, but I am not an "expert," yet I can not only produce a much better video (OBVIOUSLY ANYONE COULD), but won't because those who REALLY want to learn, will spend the time researching the different steels and sharpening methods that are used for them.

[sevenedges]

ok I will say it NEVER use a pull through sharpener! They suck and will ruin you several hundred dollar knife! You Chris Reeve Sebenza, Busse Combat, Fehrman, dont like pull through sharpeners. Get a DMT 8" or 10" stone.

[cutlerylover]

in case anyone is wondering, you can't sharpen scissors with that type of sharpener...If I was a mean person I wdul be al over this video, lol, and the other oens this guys puts out, but...........................­......He still likes knives so he is ok in my book...Ill leave him alone, lol...

[n7cav]

Expert Vilage obviously doesn't have quality oversight - This is like the 20th vid from them where either the content sucked, or the presenter was an idiot - or both.

[Jeffless44]

AUDIO NG

[nojoe100]

wow...can you show me the correct way to wipe my ass too?

[SchmittySwitch]

the sound sucks more balls than the gay madre gra,

[Limicola1]

This guy doesn't have all his oars in the water.

[liekd00d]

No way do you treat a spyderco or ANY quality knife like that.

[wiseguytrucker]

cool helpful info, but the guy needs to SPEAK UP!!!!! cant barely hear him, i was trying to watch him while sharpening a knife and have to have my ear on the speaker

[GassyBastard]

LOL, I' so not doing that to my Spyderco knives.

These sharpness are acceptable at sharpening crude farm tools and that's about it.

[PC9451911]

Corkie

[TorzJohnson]

Anybody that uses one of those cheap gadgets to "sharpen" their knife deserves the edge they will get.

[pootsythesamurai]

pathetic
