Hello friend

Love your videos! I’m not a pro knife sharpener at all but I’ve been sharpening my whole life. I’ve recently acquired a Microtech Troodon gen 2 “not my usual choice of knife” that being said I’ve ran in to real issues sharpening this thing! Was curious if you had any experience with MT and if one sides steeper than the other? DE btw

Why is the top half of your face cut off? Wtf kind of framing is this

Not tricks, techniques.

Finally i found a comparison between the Spyderco UF and a Black Arkansas. So the black makes still sense when you already have an Spyderco UF? Only problem is, i would get only a Skerper Black Arkansas. Any experience? Is it any good? Great work with the videos. Like them!

Best advice....get lapping paper to sharpen a knife. Its like $14 and you get 320,600,1200,1800, 8k, 14k and 60k. You do not need to strop after.

How do you lock that into the TSProf attachment as it’s 2 sided?

Thank you! I've learned something! I always grind until I can actively see the ridge with my eye.

you started with a translucent ark and then finished with a less-fine black ark? isn’t that backwards??

What do you think of the hard black? it's very rarely talked if ever 🤔

The term “technique” or “method” sound much more credible and professional then “trick.” The word trick is usually used by cons and hustlers. Of which you sir are not.

Never flip over the blade edge!

Do you think the hard black can confused with a surgical black by new comer sharpeners

Thank you. 😊

If you draw on a hard surface with a magic marker a.k.a sharpie whatever you can write ✍️ on the part you want to remove and it will wipe off no matter how dry it gets! I'm not writing a book just telling a tip that has helped me a few times

This technique is absolutely correct. This is absolutely how you do it.

So sharp you chopped your on head off!

If you look at where the edge meets the stone you can see a shadow abd you want to lift the angle up until the shadow disappears, right when it disappears that's your angle. Another trick is to estimate the amgle and gently rock the knife in LITTLE motion and you can feel when it's at the correct angle, this method takes some practice but it's the best method there is. The problem with this guys method is that he's digging the knofe into the stone to find his angle and he doesn't find he exact angle because you don't know exactly how much to back off.

In Bosnia for hey they used cycle and sharpened that thing within minutes and grass what cut quick. Oblique stone always carried in a pouch with bit of water.

word

They’re made for sharpening aftermarket lol, but I sharpened my Evo Jr once and its razor sharp now! You can even sharpen these on the bottoms of plates!

You know... You're alright.

I need you to read stories to my kiddo's at bedtime bud. The calm monotone got me relaxed and ready to snooze.. Haha thanks for the video

Rust.

Everything here can be achieved with a set of Shapton stones. Why should I spend so much money on these stones, when hair whittling is hair whittling?

I would say that it’s not like a regular 100 grit as far as being course. Probably more like 1000 grit we are used to huh

SUP!??Yo!! Uhm😏 rest of your head was cuT OFF cuz... Your knives they're Wicked! SharP!🔪🗡️🤺 Yo shout out from Boston cuz.

No, they are all abrasives except for leather stropping, which is important. You're simply creating a burr, then polishing or taking that burr and removing it until it's gone (to the naked eye, at least). You are doing this with a progression of higher and higher grits, whether it be a machine wheel, belts, or stones.

Great video!! My dude do you have active warrants out on you??? Hiding your face and speaking with that hypnotic tone. I’m just screwing with you! I just a whetstone kit and I think this video might just help!! Thank you!!

What is the Specific Gravity of your blue-black?

Why are you taking it off the strop on each pass

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Do you have any recommendation for a diamond combination starter stone? Thank you.

Google Lens calls the words on the box, "New Restaurant Restaurant"

I learnt this the hard way a few weeks ago, but it was actually more that my angle wasn't high enough to create a new edge

Do stones sharpen sharper and smoother than anyone a machine can do? I'm currently in a class learning kosher slaughter and our knives need to be perfectly smooth that you don't feel the slightest bump when you run it across your fingernail I was wondering why we're told to only use stones and nothing like a machine or anything like that. I have a few Arkansases?, a few Belgian blue, whites, and jnats.

What do you use oil or water with dawn? I wonder if the ancient people used slurry.. rock rubbing rock .

I have 3 .hard arkansas and a translucent and a black surgical Lately I am using a 400 diamond plate to make a slurry. Saves oil money

Frog

This is a good technique if secondary bevel is wide, or if knife is scandi grind, but difficult to do on knives with thin bevel

Thank you 🙏🏿

The wood technique (trick 1) was very helpful. I am struggling removing burrs from the tip of the apex. Due to this tutorial my sharpening skills have vastly improved. Thank you so much!

Why didnt you post a sharpening video on this Venev stone?? I ordered a 400 and 1200 and was hoping to see you sharpen with it.

Thanks bro. I learned a couple new things

Thanks for your input sir. Your fifth technique of no GAP is the best, I suppose....

Hello, can you make with a 20° Angle a razor sharp blade or does it have be lover like 15" Angle? 🤔

These are very nice. I don’t have any natural stones yet

very good. but I think it's strop, not strap.

O man I think he is Dexter lost brother

Why can't we see your face???
