Free hand sharpening is like any skill. Just keep at it and you will get good. True, I have been a woodworker, bushcrafter and part time butcher for going on forty years. So maybe it is easy for me to say. On the other hand I have been welding for a bit more than a year now. In the beninning I didnt know what I was doing, now I can get by. So dont give up, free hand sharpening is a worthwile skill to have.

[@ericasedc]

@@RamonMarais-k2k thanks so much for watching!!!

[@Knife_guy]

I love these videos! You’re absolutely right about most KZbin sharpening videos. Most of them especially from big accounts or companies don’t really show the troubleshooting needed if something goes wrong. This is especially helpful for us noobs at sharpening. Keep doing it your way👍.

[@ericasedc]

@@Knife_guy I love you Josh! I just like showing the realism of sharpening. It’s not always perfect. And that’s ok!!!!

[@John..18]

Hi, over the last few months I've settled on using a dmt 600, and then either a balsa or bass strop, with 1 micron diamond emulsion, and just using this combo for all my knives,,,!! It seems to be working out great at the moment,,.. I've stopped chasing the perfect edge,, life's too short,, Lmfao,, All the best from across the pond,, 😍

[@ericasedc]

@@John..18 that is a perfect combo!

[@barboki]

Thanks for the demonstration. Also thanks for linking where to get the sharpening supplies. #Use_Your_Shit!!!!

[@ericasedc]

@@barboki you got it man!!!!!

[@buddahbradley68]

Great info!

[@ericasedc]

@@buddahbradley68 thanks!!!

[@dw8143]

Great video as usual. I just got in from using my shit (I will never not use that phrase without attribution to you, Erica). Funny enough, I went over to my sharpening table and stropped my Mora Companion HD before I even took my hat off, because unlike trust fund babies with safe queens, we need to frequently maintain our edges. I’m making a spatula out of maple for my daughter, so that she’ll have something that I made with my own hands to use when she cooks the recipes that I’ve taught her that require lots of stirring. I use wooden utensils to keep from dinging the edges of my pots and pans. 🤗💕

[@ericasedc]

@@dw8143 omg I love this!!!!! You are the best!!! I need to see this spatchy🥰🤣

[@dw8143]

@ I would absolutely show you a picture if I could use this technology, but I make you look like a tech genius 😆

[@ericasedc]

@ omg I don’t know how to do ANYTHING🤣

[@jasonaffeldt7838]

Very relaxing watching you sharpening your blade. I like having beater tools. Screw driver or a knife to save on my good tools. Have a good day tomorrow Ms E.🇺🇲🌲🔥🔪

[@ericasedc]

Absolutely! Cheers J!!!! Have a beautiful day!

[@madtownangler]

Never been good at sharpening with just a plain stone. The one that I use has angle pieces at both sides to make sure I keep the same angle Everytime. It has two different diamond stones a white round stone that I don't use and a piece of leather for stropping. It works great. I noticed that the knives with crappy metal don't sharpen very well. I used to use one of those things that you pull a knife through then I used a machine which wrecked the blades now I use the thing with angles built in

[@ericasedc]

Sounds like you’ve definitely upgraded!!! 🎉

[@kathleensmith370]

nice job

[@ericasedc]

@@kathleensmith370 thank you!!

[@paullmight42]

[@kurts4867]

what's your favorite bevel /grind ?? Full flat ? Chisel ? hollow ?

[@ericasedc]

@@kurts4867 I don’t have a favorite really. It depends on the knife/task it’s for!

[@babycornell49]

Here is a question for you. What is good folding pocket knife to carry that won't break the bank? My edc knife is a Civivi Mini Praxis and I am out here in Michigan

[@ericasedc]

@@babycornell49 not sure as I only carry fixies now. Also I don’t carry or use Chinese knives and anything American will be $180+. First thing that comes to mind is maybe a Spyderco Dragonfly or Delica! I love those two.

[@MountainAjar]

I agree sometimes listen to our inner selves when we are looking at what we want to get out of sharpening, I always appreciate your sharpness talks , I’ve taken a few of your methods and applied them to mine and others in the community. Just keep building that knowledge you know.

[@ericasedc]

@@MountainAjar absolutely brother!

[@snowtiger44]
