Knife Sharpening : Knife Sharpening: Common Mistakes

great video

This is all nice but Is it expected you'll have this whole setup in your kitchen?

Chefs are notorious for offering shit advice when it comes knife sharpening, from telling students to not even sharpen it themselves because it's too hard or telling them to use a steal. Only person who should be using a Steal is a butcher and most meat processors will have their blades machine sharpened on several thousand dollar equipment anyway.

what is the belt thing (i cant spell it) were can i get one

a strop, you can buy one at knifecenter or classicshaving, or most wookworking supply stores. you can make one out of a piece of leather. Using a stropping compound on it helps allot.

Unless, like me, you like all your knives to be as sharp as straight razors.

Congrats! You are the first one I see on the expertvillage Channel who knows what he's talking about.

Excellent video ! I learned alot. Thanks for making it.

thats for a pocket knife not somthing like hunting knifes or cooking knifes
