Experimenting with lapping a Black Arkansas

[@antoniaharter3495]

Been watching for awhile. I stopped at Dan's on route to my Texas winter home from Ohio. We spent a Sunday in Hot Springs, Ar and about 3+ hours being shown around and purchasing a new True Hard. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Good People!

Nice!

[@jaysolomon4156]

Excellent video keep up the great work!!

[@jeffsmith6441]

Glad you're back! I hope you're able to stay this time. If I can afford to help anytime soon I will but I've ran into some unexpected finances recently which is also why you don't have my knives yet. Hopefully I'll get it sorted soon.

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

Jeff Smith man I know how that is all to well. Just send them when u can

[@steeltoez8345]

Glad to see the KZbin issues got fixed. I can't help but wonder what this stone was used for by the previous owner. I try my best to make sure the Stones I use wear as evenly as possible and I'm glad u mentioned it. Certain KZbin sharpeners I've watched over the years don't put any effort into it. I can see how waterstones could be beneficial but the finish from a black ark is second to none with proper progression. I follow a silicon carbide sandpaper progression with my stones so they are ready to go as well. I stopped with 5k on my black ark last time. Goodluck with the patreon man, more folks need to catch your content.

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

STeeL ToeZ83 I continue with wet dry sandpaper as well. I stopped at 3k on this one. I appreciate it man.

[@christurley391]

That red brown grit breaks down very quickly like garnet grit. Commonly used for water jet cutting.

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

How so? I've sharpened on many stones over the years and never had a issue with areas like this.

[@christurley391]

@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 The first abrasive powder you used on that stone, you said you did not know what it was. The color is right for industrial Garnet grit.

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

I see what you are saying. Sorry I was thinking of another vid and commented here.

[@NORTHWESTKNIFEGUY]

Hey man, glad to see you got everything sorted out.

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

NORTHWEST_KNIFE_GUY man me to hopefully that won’t happen again!

[@swiggamortis5521]

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

aidan wyman thank you

[@lonestardude6283]

You're back! So glad to see you! Please film vertically though.

[@lonestardude6283]

I mean horizontally! My bad!

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

Lone Star Dude I usually do. But I couldn’t this time

[@timbo4374]

Glad you're back!

[@bp-hx9ts]

I use silicon carbide to flatten stones on glass works better then diamond plates just messy and loud

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

bp69 I agree. And a diamond plate won’t last long with a black.

[@bp-hx9ts]

Rough Rooster Knife Sharpening yeah probably not good for use on a waterstone but not great for really hard stuff like ceramics or arks

[@jcb6713]

nice vid...have a great week...

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

JCB 67 you to man

[@pcooke9865]

Welcome back sir

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

pcooke 🙏 thank you

[@tommygunnz3229]

Also do you use sandpaper after the SIC powder? If so what grits

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

Thomas Ortiz yes and it depends on the stone. This one I used 800 1k 1500 2000 2500 3000

[@tommygunnz3229]

What kind of sandpaper? Last time I did the same thing I would dull my blades when I use my black is there a certain kind?

[@buckbeans1]

That's a big rock!

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

buckbeans1 yes it’s a 10x3x1

[@augustwest3575]

My black from Dan is like glass out of the box.

[@tommygunnz3229]

Can u use the glass more then once?

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

Thomas Ortiz yes. Just watch for dishing.

[@DANVIIL]

I'd like to have seen a before and after sharpening on the same knife to see what the effect is when sharpening after this laborious process. Sharpen on the stone as is and then kill the edge on the knife and re-sharpen to see exactly what the impact is.

[@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531]

I could do that. But I already know what it's going to do. I've covered that particular thing years ago in previous videos
