This is a detail video about sharpening. Well done

[CosmicJhana]

Thanks! Here’s a little back for all the sharpening know-how you send out. I appreciate it. 🤙

I have a KME sharpener, and while I get good results. It takes a long time for me to get a good edge. I’ve been looking at other forms of sharpening & I believe this is the way to go. Might be a good learning curve, but being able to sharpen whatever kind of blade you want at the end of the day would be totally worth it.

Sharpal have a diamond stone for 70 bucks on Amazon I highly recommend it . 40 bucks for the smaller version too . Highly recommend it . Had it for years and it’s still great 👍

[rayhancock]

Thank you for your content! I am amazed at how well diamond compound works! It's also interesting that as your knife sharpening skills improve so do your blade edges. Knives that were very sharp become scary sharp!

Awesome vid Jerad, great way to start off. Wish i would have went this way in the beginning years ago vs going through it the way i did starting with little 3" aluminum oxide stones in hand when i was a kid then moving to wetstones and finally Diamond ones. A bigger stone is so much easier to learn on as well for freehand especially with larger blades like kitchen or survival sized ones. You can even use them for tools like planer blades, Axes, Chisels, etc.. anything that you need to sharpen, and with these you don't have to worry about flattening them or even using a lubricant (although i still do) making it a much less messy job that you are doing. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

This really helped me, the demonstration of lining up on the angle guide and then only doing a forward stroke and then resetting really helped me get a much better feel than I had. I’ve been devoting much more time to a fixed angle sharpener, which has its own set of challenges, because I kept messing up the angle at some point when doing freehand. I would get partially through the sharpen okay but then I would inevitably get off angle at some point. I spent the past few hours getting lined up on a guide and doing a single forward stroke and I got my first really sharp knife freehand and now I could feel myself getting better and better at holding the angle. I can’t believe how quick that helps and also how few strokes it takes to sharpen a knife if every stroke is on the same angle. I was really about to give up on freehand and upgrade to a more expensive fixed angle system so this was great, thank you.

I have been studying this topic for a while, trying to decide what sharpening system to get. I just placed an order on everything. Amazon has a good deal on the diamond plates as you said, and it includes the 300, 600, 1200 plate plus plate holder as well for $138. I have been enjoying your educational videos, especially this one!

[jeremysantiago]

Thanks Neeves for those comprehensive and amazing sharpening tips. Love to watch them

[rayhancock]

I always get you and Metal Complex mixed up, you're both awesome, thank you for all of your content. You have taught me my PhD in knife sharpening, but there's always more to learn as there's all kinds of shapes and materials and they don't all sharpen the same. I am moving to double smooth leather strop with Gunny juice for stropping. I currently get great results from green compound which is 3 micron. With Gunny juice I went with 3 micron for one side and 1 micron for the other. My thinking there is that my ceramic rod is 3k grit, 3 micron is around 9k grit and 1 micron is around 14k grit. I want a razor toothy edge, not a polished smooth edge, I want my edge to be able to shave a fly's chin ;) All the videos I've watched and articles I've read, people get faster and better results from diamond liquid. What say the community? Does my micron choices seem as though it would work well? So very much of sharpening is personal choice, but consulting those who have more experience is always wise :)

[Elmax.dps]

You have been very helpful teaching us🎉🎉

Absolutely the best EDC content on YouTube! Cheers Jerad!

[coppering]

the only knife sharpener guy on youtube notifying beginners that diamond stones DO NOT REQUIRE WATER. HURRAY. THANK YOU!!!

[ImOnTheEdge]

Thanks again for the great sharpening tutorial. I always learn just a little more each time. My arsenal is: FOR HAND SHARPENING - Ultrasharp diamond stones (3x8" in 300#, 600#, 1200#, 2200# and 3000#, plus I have a Naniwa 800# that shows promise and a Spyderco ceramic stone. Of course, I use the Ultrasharp stone holder like the one in the video. I have magnetic strops that stick to the steel/diamond stones. That said, all that's really necessary, as you pointed out, is the 300#, 600# and maybe the 1200#, although I can make a case for that Naniwa 800#. I also use a Work Sharp Benchstone sharpener for the smaller knives and touchups. Next time, maybe we'll talk about the Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener that I dig out from time to time. Thanks Jerad!

[ericwiltse]

Been using fixed angle systems since I started sharpening couple years ago. Now im excited to learn to freehand sharpen. Thank you !

[tmille]

Excellent video J rad, I would even go so far as to say get the field sharpener and ceramic rod for beginners and learn to sharpen and maintain a factory edge on that and keep a knife serviceable, then move to the exact setup you outlined, as always STRAIGHT FACTS 💯

[HorsepowerHeaven]

Honestly thank you so much. I got a bunch of stones yesterday and sharpened my first knife. I got it ridiculously sharp but it’s so nice to see these extra tips to make sure I can produce the same results again and again. 🙏🏼

[jonathanbezjian]

Great video! The day you dropped this video, I actually crafted something to hold abrasive rods in the stone holder to make it easier to sharpen recurves and karambits 👌🏻 I have yet to try it out as my karambit was stolen but still excited to have a new “specialty” tool.

[chipe]

man. I was just gonna ask you for a recommendation on diamond stones and such.... this answers all my questions and more
