Easiest way to Sharpen your Knife

sharpening a knife is easier than you think and you will need 3 quarters and a wets stone to get started

I never ever sharpened my knife for 14 years and now im about to try it. Thank you!

[Seebeejeebees]

Bro, holy crap, thanks. I've always struggled using sharpening stones because I can't keep a proper angle. The quarters tip is crazy, I appreciate you.

Dude thats an awesome piece of advice. The first stone i ever bought was a rough 80 grit and came with a little ramp at a 30° angle. Totally helped get the muscle memory

[APeelingG]

Heck yes, thank you! Everyone always talks about specific angles and how to find them, but practicing with the quarters until I'm familiar is an amazing idea. You rock!

Watched this video to try and sharpen my knife, i was able to get a pretty satisfying result. Instead of using the motion depicted here I found it easier to first hold the knife parallel to the stone and then sliding it towards me while slowly curving the knife towards the tip.

Direct to the point and not bs, nice !!!!

Today I learned I was doing this wrongly. Thank you so much!

[oplap]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. My knife was dull as hell, and i wasn't sharpening it properly. Cuts like a razor now.

[dextercooper]

Finally ‼️ I can follow a method such as this properly. Thank you very kindly.

Yes finally a video that’s doing things the correct way.

I really appreciate shorts sometimes ✊🏽 thanks dawgie

Such a simple tip. I’ve always held the knife to low the quarter got me in point

[RossTheRandom]

No offense, but this is terrible advice unless you want to ruin your edge. The best way to find your angle (which is different for every blade) is to lay it flat against your stone, then lift it *just* until the apex touches the stone. 3 quarters stacked will create varying angles depending on the width of the blade you're trying to sharpen, getting you nowhere.. slowly.

This literally the first video I pulled up with the same exact stone set. Wild

[ryanlee]

Exactly what I searched for. Thank you.

You earn a like for getting all that info into 22 seconds. I wish more YT videos were short and sharp like this 👍

The Quarter trick only works with knifes the same width as in the video. It would make a 35 degree angle on my office knife

[t-jayirag]

This was very helpful man! Thanks for the tip

[Forgotten.reminisce]

I found an old wet stone at my grandma’s house when I was visiting her and that night I drank so much coffee that I couldn’t sleep and I decided to just dip some water on it and started sharpening her knifes, and I made sure that every knife can slice a paper in half easily

A magnetic angle guide with a level would help any beginner. I got mine on amazon but i havent used it with whet stones. But i have restored a razor sharp edge with the ceramic part of a sharpal pull through sharpener, by putting the level right on the back of the knife where it can lay flat. Its made for flat surface stones though.
