Can I sharpen a kitchen knife to be sharper than a surgical scalpel

[@WhiteDeath765]

Scalpels are sharp but the reason they cut so easily is because they are very thin

[@Noone4207I0]

You bet me to it

[@dylanshandley1246]

Exactly, people don’t seem to realise that you can’t make something like a cleaver cut just as easily as a scalpel or surgical blade, because they’re made for different purposes and certain choices to give up a little bit of one desirable attribute, to get more of a different desirable attribute were made to make them better at their purpose. It’s about as logical as seeing if you can make a screw driver as good at sinking nails as a hammer. They’re both used for the same kind of task (joining two pieces of wood together), but if you make a screwdriver able to do the same thing as a hammer, then it’s not gonna be much use as a screwdriver anymore.

I'm curious if they will show how they tension the wire, or what they do to make sure the tests are consistent. If you lossen the wire, it takes more force.

@ulto6000 There are quite a lot of different blades, and we use them for quite a variety of tasks. 10, 11, and 15 are our most common ones that people may typically see in a surgery or on a movie. In the case of this video, he would want to use a 10 or 20 as they tend to resemble something more akin to a kitchen knife and has its sharpest point on the side rather than the tip like an 11 blade.

[@LarsVDS-VA]

The difference between a sharp and thicc blade(kitchen knife) and a sharp but thin blade(surgical knife) is that a surgical blade will cut very easily because essentially it is splitting not cutting, a kitchen knife cuts instead of splitting, a kitchen knife is made to last while a surgical blade is made to be only used once or twice

[@rrampage36]

The thinness is certainly a factor...But the steels composition has everything to do with the ability to achieve that fine edge . Most steels will fragment and leave a rough edge long before getting to scalpel sharpness

[@FrankDaTank335]

You’re using the tester wrong. You’re supposed to slowly apply pressure downwards with the knife. Applying sudden pressure will give you a false reading.

[@autumn5592]

He uses that to trick the scores so it makes if look like his sharpener does a better job.

[@torchlight1785]

He’s fudges the test in order to sell his “sharpening kits.”

[@KaityKat117]

Fun fact Surgical scalpels are intentionally not as sharp as they could be. They made one so sharp that you need an electron microscope to see the edge. but surgeons that tried using that said they were afraid to use it because they couldn't feel how deep they were cutting. They have scalpels sharpened to a standard sharpness so that surgeons don't have to guess how much force to apply. their scalpels will be consistent and so they can perform surgeries more efficiently.

You can make almost any knife that sharp with such a narrow bevel. That is almost the right angle for straight razors but a kitchen knife needs to be 20-25 degrees

[@tumblerusa]

Thanks for your feedback! We have 15 and 20 degree angle options in our lineup at this time! 👍

[@Archangel_Leo23]

The only knife that needs a broad angle like that is hunting knifes most kitchen knives are actually between 15-20 even american brands are 20 most Japanese steel blades are 18

[@genebradbury5086]

Ia n I sharpen hunting g and pocket knives everyday in my store at 30 degrees for the simple fact of hunting and pocket knives take a beating. So with a thicker bevel the edge stays longer

[@autumn5592]

Knife maker and professional sharpener here; more acute bevels have higher edge retention (until edge stability is compromised from to low of an angle, this depends on the steel used.) Many kitchen knives, even western, will be fine with a 16-17 degrees per side. Putting 20, 25, or 30 degree angles on kitchen knives is going to significantly reduce edge retention (but increase edge stability, reducing chipping/rolling.) 25 degrees is fine for a cleaver, not for a chefs knife. As for you comment of straight razors; they are usually measured by inclusive angle, not per side. So if a straight razor is 15° (inclusive) it is 7.5° per side. Not comparable to a chefs knife at 15° per side, which would be 30°inclusive.

Does this work on Japanese Damascus knifes?

[@tumblerusa]

Knives forged from Damascus steel have a particularly high hardness, which often leads to the question of how best to resharpen such hard blades. Tumbler has a high-efficiency diamond wheel. This material is harder than Damascus and as a result, even such exquisite knives can be sharpened with Tumbler. Also, the constant angle of 15 or 20 degrees ensures that only the cutting edge is resharpened and the expensive blade is not damaged.
