Do with this info whatever you want.

Joerg, It seems to me that daily I enjoy your authentic humour and joy. Your presentations are informative, entertaining and filled with happiness. All of it is wonderful to behold, and feel. Thank you.

[smallmagnum]

The idea, to put a guiding rod onto a simple power file is ingenius. I've been searching for a cheap, fast and simple method for the course work for quite a while. Thank you, Joerg!

I have an older version of this knife sharpener and can confirm, it puts a perfect edge on my blades every time.

[LazerLord]

You should use that sharpener to make a super sharp knife out of flat-bar steel or something.

[TorlingJarl]

Dude, normally people joke about the whole getting upset about seeing people dull knives but that chopping at the file legit sent shivers down my spine. Us sharpening junkies are crazy man.

I’ve been watching your videos for longer than I am remember!!! I’m 20 years old and I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Each and every one of your videos is entertaining and informational in so many ways to me!!! Keep them coming!!!

I just sharpened my knife earlier today with the same style kit that I've had forever. Then when I checked my favorite YouTubers tab and your vid was there today of all days. Keep up the great vids and never stop no matter what the haters say.

I have been trained by several master carpenters how to sharpen things like chisels and never have I learned such a streamlined way of sharpening blades. Well done.

[michaelt]

Best thing I've learned about free hand. Ignore trying to set at an exact angle. Just match what's there. Start slow when learning. Eventually you get a good feel for it. I have no idea what angle any of my knives are set at. Somewhere between 20° and 15° I assume.

Also just got to the magnified glass part. I got magnified glasses with built in LED. I love them.

Love the guided belt system.
Fast as a work sharp but with a flat bevel vs the curved bevel (I forget the term used)

you are genoius i love all your videos .there are videos that i watched more than 10times and i still watch them they never get bored

[TonyMaxtana]

Schön, dass du dir treu bleibst. Gibt nicht viele charakterstarke Menschen. Ich verfolge den Channel nun schon seeeehr lange und bin immer noch gespannt, welche Idee als nächstes umgesetzt wird. Einfach das, von dem Youtube lebt. Intelligente Menschen, die anderen zeigen was möglich ist und ein schönes Niveau im Internet halten. DANKE

[vrystaat]

Voon de bar. Ha ha ha....Joerg, well done again....I like your tool I was a young man, 50+ yrs back, in Africa I made hunting and skinning old steel files and circular saw anealed them ""cut "" a long story short, the sharpening was done by hand....I used engineers blue to help guide knives were top quality, but out in the bush one needs to be able to sharpen a blunt one quickly....Top quality steel can be difficult to sharpen, so...quick to blunt, but quick to sharpen is good LOVE YOUR IDEAS, YOUR DESIGNS ....AND....OH YES ! ...YOUR LAUGH...

[Henchman_Holding_Wrench]

Even knowing that the knife will be fixed later, it was a bit uncomfortable watching all that chopping against metal.

[samneibauer]

Incredible how you have come out with a knife sharpening video, just as I'm getting into sharpening knives! I just bought a two-sided metal sharpening stone from my local hardware store and it's really helped all my knives. Just yesterday, I was at a used-tool shop and saw something gorgeous, an 8000 grit Japanese whetstone for only $70! I'm gonna buy it soon :) Super glad that you came out with this invention and video!

[Gryphon]

Great video! Thanks for the tip on using magnifying glasses to make sure the edge gets sharpened right. I've been sharpening my knives for a few years now and surprisingly never thought of using magnifying glasses. Lol.
I'd really love to see more videos on knife sharpening and how you do it and any other improvements or ideas you might have in this area.
Thanks again !

[lostmarimo]

That sharpening stone is looking super fine!

[grassroot]

Slick idea with the power file. Knife makers use a belt grinder to get the basic edge, so this is even more accurate.

[Nembrald]

Very helpful video. I work as a chef so being able to keep my knifes sharp is very important to me. I will definitely consider buying the gatco set. Thank you very much Joerg!
