How I Sharpen my Carving Knife and Hook Knife - Narrated Version

[@kandcdish]

Here in the USA we have access to various dimensional sizes (1/2"-2" diameter) of PVC conduit which is purchased at any hardware store. Depending on the diameter of the hook on a knife I use an 8 inch long piece of PVC, cut it length wise in half, sand the edges and then glue sand paper to the outside and or inside of the pipe. It works for both sides of the hook knife blade and keeps the bevel symmetrical along its entire blade length. This works for me.

I love your videos so much. I could watch a million videos of you talking about wood carving techniques / tips etc.

[@testsubject10101]

I love that you are satisfied with calm orderly music, and other non severe forms of expression!

[@paulacreman4413]

A wonderful video, Just the thing to watch while the storm rages outside. It will help me sharpen my knives.

[@Bill-y8s]

Excellent videography! This is the first video I have found about sharpening carving knives. Thank you.

[@TernaryHound]

Had to get up and do some carving immediately after watching this. Thanks.

[@kumiejoubert-vanniekerk8794]

Thank you so much for this video. It helps tremendously answer a lot of questions!

[@magpie913]

thank youuu ! the quality of your videos and explanation are amazing !!

[@Nohyp01]

Inspired by your setup, sir. Keep it up and I look forward to seeing your work progress! Thank you for the information!

[@gilbd]

Very good. Very organized and methodical.

[@horachlap2154]

Thank you for the very inspiring tool sharpening instructions.

[@indianavladescu846]

Beautiful! The most important skill for every carver is this: to put a good edge on the blades. When your tools are sharp you are happy. I love to maintain my blades. Love sharpening, strop and do all the honing. Also I love to try different materials for made my strops and also use different compounds. Beautiful video! I wish you happy carving!

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Lovely job, now that's what you call SHARP. my hook knife is not quite that sharp but, now I've seen how sharp your's is, I will try again and hopefully it will become as sharp as yours. Cheers Les.

Awesome video. Very informative. I have a Beaver Craft hook knife that I have been struggling with. I'm definitely going to try this method. Thanks.

[@DaisyDebs]

Brilliant thankyou so much for sharing this . 🌳🌳🌳

[@Alexdoc13]

Большое спасибо 🙏 видео которое я буду пересматривать не только для того чтобы научиться лучше точить ножи но и просто чтобы научиться получать удовольствие от этого процесса. Спасибо за ваше душевное видение ❤

[@jeffantonio1627]

i am glad you showed the stropping- i always wondered if honing compound rubbing off on my blade was abnormal.

[@runnnnnnnnnyuhl]

Thanks man! I have the exact same knife as yours and recently just bought my own sanding blocks. This helps so much.

[@xanderBracke]

Where did you get your knife from

[@yvancrochetiere5404]

Félicitation votre video est vraiment bien faite, la méthode d'affutage est très bonne également. C'est d'ailleurs celle que j'utilise à l'exeption que je ne provoque pas la ''cassure'' du morfil en le repliant avec les doigts. Mon mentor en affutage disait qu'il est préférable que le morfile se détache de par lui même, d'où l'importance d'utiliser différent grain de papier d'émeri et la pâte à polir. Encore une fois bravo pour cette video fort bien construite et instructive.

[@OutNaboutwithSwiift]

Thank you dude, you really are appreciated!

[@BenjaminPinaud-y3n]

Merci pour vos vidéos qui sont vraiment super 👍

[@murphylhunn]

You shot this beautifully, the closeups of the bevel especially. What camera/lenses are you using? Edit its in the description already lmao this guy's a PROFESSIONAL

[@hummel12ify]

With the mora hook knife it is almost impossible to really flatten the surface without catching the sand paper, and the next time you will sharpen it you will round it again, there is no other way around. The solution is to grind the inside with a dremel, there is a video about this on zed outdoor channel. Hope it helps !

[@urmelausdemeis3495]

Ja, das ist ein sehr interessantes Video von Zed Outdoors.

[@vladimirflocea5917]

I love the video❤! Only thing to be mentioned is that a dedicated blade sharpener doesn't have hair on his left hand 😂 9:42

[@planplo]

excelente y muy útil! como tip, una "diamond stone" barata me sale más económico que comprar lijas. lo vi en un video de rex krueger y aunque al principio lo dudé, acabé comprobando que es cierto.

[@KopWerSov]

Beautiful. I have similar tool but i used it sparsely, when is time to sharpen, i will try this, thank you.

[@andreasjonsson8075]

Good job

[@haraldkrahl612]

Ich habe gute Erfahrung beim Polieren mit Autosol-Paste (eine gold, schwarze Tube) direkt auf ein glattes Stück Buchenholz aufgetragen gemacht. Nach dem Polieren wische ich die alte Paste ab und trage vor der nächsten Anwendung etwas frisches Autosol auf. Das harte Stück Holz hilft auch gegen ein versehentliches Verrunden der Schneide und das feuchte Autosol haftet sehr gut auf Holz.

[@urmelausdemeis3495]

Welche Körnung hat Autosol? Ist das bekannt? Ist es feiner als die Tormek-Paste oder Elsterglanz?? Hat irgendjemand Informationen dazu?

[@ToilandTranquility]

Very nice instruction.

[@nadavartandwood]

thank you, glad you found it helpful 😊

[@stickstickley5098]

Thank you! Is the sandpaper you use specifically for metal? How do you adhere it to the wood?

[@xanderBracke]

Could you ever make a video about How using your axe for making spoons :)

[@madtitan9639]

Get yourself a couple of wooden hand screw clamps. Glue some crubber, cork, or leather to the inside surfaces. You'll never stop finding uses for them.

[@amberjay4971]

Where can I get these sand paper paddles? I can't seem to find them anywhere!

[@mathieuwuillot4586]

Toutes les techniques sont bonnes à prendre

[@D-B-Cooper]

When you have gotten it as sharp as you think is good take a piece of soft wood, my favorite is yellow cedar, and put a dab of metal polish on it and polish the edge, in both directions until you start to get fine skims of wood. This is very good for shaped chisels and knives because you can cut the profile into the wood and then add some polish. I keep the wooden block beside me and touch up my edge often. Look for an old wooden clamp with the two screws to hold your knife. It lays flat and can be clamped to the table easily and securely. When I see a big burr like that tells me it is of inferior quality or tempering and get rid of it because it will not hold an edge for long. If you try this it will feel like you have broken through a sharpness wall and you will not consider your past knives sharp anymore.

[@Drékratez]

Thanks.

[@livemusicisalive1030]

Is the sandpaper the same kind you usually use for wood or is it a special kind for sharpening knives?

[@rosyc5777]

You just glue the sand paper to the small sticks??

[@sliversteppa5912]

great video! did you round off the back of your straight knife or did you buy it like that? my mora's back is more edged. but maybe yours is an older one

[@urmelausdemeis3495]

Ich selbst runde die Rücken meiner Schnitzmesser etwas an. Ich brauche sie ja nicht zum Funken schlagen sondern drücke mit meinen Fingern dagegen. Da ist ein gerundeter Messerrücken viel angenehmer!

[@sliversteppa5912]

@@urmelausdemeis3495 wie rundest du sie ab?

[@urmelausdemeis3495]

@@sliversteppa5912 Ganz einfach händisch mit meinen Schleifleinen. Welche Körnungen das waren hab ich vergessen. Ich würde vermutlich mit 400 oder 600 anfangen. Es braucht ja nicht viel um die Kanten angenehm abzurunden.

[@That_one_and_only_username]

How did you glue the fabric on the strop?

[@manguydude905]

I use lepage heavy duty contact cement, or double sided carpet tape if you want to change the paper or leather!
