How to Fix a Broken Knife Tip

[@87Magneto]

I would have never thought in a thousand years to use that side of the grit stone like that. This has been extremely useful. thanks a lot for this video.

[@KnifewearKnives]

Awesome, glad we could help!

@@KnifewearKnives cheers.

Glad I watched this...just made my job of repairing a broken tip exponentially easier, thank you👍

[@KnifewearKnives]

Awesome news, thank you for watching!

[@DrZbo]

Thanks for actually breaking down the impact your choice would have on the edge geometry!

[@cmcg1190]

Awesome video... starting from the spine is a great idea.

[@richcxx]

Dude so glad I saw this, I had a tip to fix and in the past always ground from the cutting edge. But your method of grinding down from the back worked so much better.

[@jasonlinn]

Nice! I had never even thought about using the side of a stone like that

[@KnifewearKnives]

It's a great trick, happy to help!

[@PainDealer86]

Makes perfect sense! Basically just transforms the broken tip into little bit of lost length. I got a couple of projects to try this on!

[@KnifewearKnives]

Awesome, let us know how it goes!

[@PainDealer86]

@@KnifewearKnives Well, you tell me. I'm pretty satisfied :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX7NYnegr92Yldk

This video is very needed as I just dropped my favourite Santoku Knife

[@KnifewearKnives]

Oh no, I hope you were able to fix it okay!

Thanks for that. I’m trying to learn how to sharpen knives but it isn’t easy. I have an old set of fine, medium and course diamond plates but I think they are worn out. I also have some of those double sided stones with grit ranging from 400 to 1200 or something. Would you recommend Diamond over stone? What grit sizes and brands? Thanks. Paul

I miss going to Knifewear in Vancouver, you guys should open a store in nyc , you guys would kill it.

[@KnifewearKnives]

Hopefully one day!

[@leislen]

Would this method work if i just have the 220/1000 grit block? Is the 4000 necessary? Thank you!!

[@KnifewearKnives]

Absolutely, and 4,000 totally isn't necessary

[@nukefoodsofficial5849]

So theoretically I could shorten a knife with an undesirable length as well?

[@KnifewearKnives]

Absolutely!

[@saeedriazhussain6906]

Title is too shorter so that's a great thing, KZbin recommends videos with short title. I've searched this but i hope I'll see you after some years when youtube algorithm recommend everyone this video.

[@highspeed9518]

fantastic work! best video i have seen on you tube thus far, could you show us how to do a dagger?

[@KnifewearKnives]

Thank you so much! Unfortunately we don't sharpen daggers, so we wouldn't be the best folks to teach you.

[@MingusDynastyy]

God I was so embarassed when I dropped my gyuto..

[@russyJ20]

Happens to everyone at some point. Horrible feeling!
