Free Hand Sharpening by Nutnfancy

After like a hundred requests I'm compelled to do a sharpening video...maybe more to follow. Using an EZE-LAP Fine Diamond oval shaped diamond sharpener (Knivesplus.com, EZ-D10F, $19) and a 13" Lansky sharpening steel, I show how I re-sharpen an AG Russell kitchen knife. Keep your edge angle very consistent on both rods, using enough passes to bring out the edge you desire. The diamond stone actually produces micro serrations in the steel which will cut very effectively. I find the edge is more durable and even sharper however if honed a bit on the steel, using care not to roll the tip (in video). I do use other systems occasionally but this is my current favorite. That's because this is the fastest way I'm able to bring out an edge again in a knife.

Note: Suppliers and models of the referenced sharpeners will change. I note my original sources for reference and to maybe help save you time.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I didn't mean I can do it better. No way. I don't even have a camcorder, and I don't have a stage voice, nor the speed of delivery.

My specialty if you will, is that of a critic. :)

I simply believe an instructional video should be concise. There is no point hearing him what he might do maybe in the future if he feels like, nor how busy his life is with "important" stuff.

Anybody who thinks a steel "rolls" the edge is an imbecile. A steel keeps the blade STRAIGHT. A steel does not "sharpen" the knife. It keeps the blade straight which holds the edge.

A knife should ALWAYS be sharpened with a wet stone when ever possible.

nutin are u a highscool science teacher becuse everything you say is dirty

I'd love to learn this method. Been using the Lansky.

Is this how you field sharpen during Bivouacs?

This is exactly how I sharpen my kitchen knives, only difference is I use an edge-trailing motion with the steel, it works the same from my experience, and has little to no chance rolling the edge. It's also how you are supposed to use a steel to straighten the edges of your kitchen knives, even though many cooks(and some chefs I've met) seem to think the rolled micro serrations will magically unroll if they they stroke the knife into the edge :P

p.s. sorry for the mini rant, and great vid :D
