Razor Sharp! Sharpen a Knife in 3 Minutes With This Method

[@CraftivityZone-123]

I’m so impressed! You explained everything clearly, and the tips on adjusting the sharpening angle were super helpful. Can’t wait to see more DIY ideas from you in the future! 🙌❤

[@jeffreylombardo782]

For the life of me, I couldnt figure out where this guy was going! And I am a cabinet maker for the last 54 years. For the love of Mike, it seems people today MUST make even what should be a simple task, over complicated to the enth degree! Take a deep breath, sit down, and quite simply....learn how to sharpen a knife the traditional way, and once learned, you will have it for life.

[@johnduffy6546]

I soo agree with your sentiment. I just pissed away 8 minutes watching a video that proclaims to sharpen in 3 minutes. (DUH, ME!)...My grandfather was an old German butcher who taught me how to sharpen knives and every darned thing else. His knives were so sharp you could shave a gnats arse... These kinds of videos need to come with a SCHMUCK warning...I'm getting old too soon, smart too late...At best , this video was done with good intentions. (I hope)

[@chautime5095]

Agreed. But I do like the using of vinegar and baking soda to clean the rust and the polish. But I prefer sharpening my expensive Japanese knives with my trusty whet stones.

[@SimplyRedVirginia]

@@johnduffy6546 So many KZbin videos are simply rabbit holes that waste your time. Fortunately for me I spent more time writing this reply than watching the video. I have learned to use the fast forward slider and actually try to avoid those tempting images they suck you in with (I failed and clicked on this one). Anytime you see one of those cryptic weird images that just don't make sense, you can bet the actual video is not going to match up with what you thought you were clicking on. The vast majority of what I see on the right side on my monitor right now is BS clickbait. This place can be a huge time suck from your life.

This is for those with zero skill in knife sharpening... there are similar devices available commercially, but I still prefer to sharpen my knives manually on different grades of stone under running water to a mirror finish and razor-sharp edge... it takes time and patience, but the satisfaction is unparalleled.

[@_just_looking_thank_you]

☝🤓 Allow me (Science, actually) to dispel a very popular misconception. Though combining baking soda with vinegar produces all that powerful looking 🫧foam🫧, we're simply witnessing the reaction whereby those alkali and acid ingredients are neutralizing one another. The only products of this reaction are carbon dioxide (that impressive fizz) and sodium acetate (the ingredient used for flavoring Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips). 🤓🫴 Better to use the vinegar on its own as a rust solvent and reserve the baking soda for use as a mild abrasive. 🤓👍

I bought a Drill Doctor many years ago and was very pleased with its performance, but the plastic depth stop to set the flutes broke and when I tried to buy another the style had changed to two fingers in the flutes and were hard to set right. The one you just tested went back to the original method of setting the depth of the drill in the holder. I may have to buy another one soon. LOL

[@papaw5405]

What purpose does the baking soda serve? The vinegar will remove rust without it. Adding the baking soda only neutralizes the acid in the vinegar. The acid is what loosens the rust. Baking soda only slows the process.

[@oliviaalexanderchiango3979]

Came here for this comment. The baking soda makes the fizzy bubbles, but enhances the process in absolutely no way other than that.

[@creationholic101]

That mixture cleans very well

[@rapido2962]

It makes an effective cleaning 'paste'. This paste adheres to the surface and aids the cleaning process.

Baking soda and water make an effective paste for cleaning. Adding vinegar only weakens it. @@rapido2962

What about the folded sandpaper on the thumbnail? Show us how you sharpen with it. Also the knife was sharpened on one side,why? Isn't there a burr on the opposite side when you sharpen the blade?

[@jkirschy]

The knife was sharpened on one side because it uses a chisel grind. Personally I don't get the appeal, but most of my knives are western style knives. Chisel grinds are very popular among Japanese kitchen knives and Japanese utility knives. As for the burr on the opposite side. Yes. You do get a burr on the opposite side, but you would normally remove that by flattening the back side and/or a by stropping. Though depending on how much metal was removed it might not have been an issue the first time the knife was sharpened.

[@creationholic101]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@GeorgeSowa]

This type of knife is forged in a forge in such a way that the hard steel is only on one side. On the other side is soft steel with 0.2-0.3 carbon. Theoretically, this knife should sharpen itself during use (soft steel wears off faster). But in practice, it needs to be sharpened from time to time (because it hits a bone, for example) on one side. The so-called "wire" that is created during sharpening can be removed by rubbing the soft side on the skin or wet paper.

More like 5 hours of work just to sharpen a knife. Easier way is turn on your stove fire up and heat the knife up for 3 minutes and file it down for 1 minute. Do both sides and then use the smooth sandpaper to buff it up. Easy peasy! 8:39

This method works great, but takes a while, and can be trouble some to those with wrist injuries. I got lazy a few yrs back. I now just use a 1" belt sander, 5-6 different grits to 2000, and a strop.
