Thanks for the video. I think I will try making this, since I don't want to pay such a ridiculous price for a rolling sharpener. One change I might suggest to make this build more economical is to simply apply some tape to the center wood instead of spending all that time sanding and applying a finish to the wood. Time is money. For the amount of time it takes to do that, especially if you don't have a belt sander, a strip of a suitable type of tape would be far cheaper. As in, for most people, if they spent that same amount of time at their jobs, they'd probably earn way, way more than the few cent cost of the tape spent.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your idea!

[@banjofett3949]

This is exactly what I’m looking for Felix. Cheers!

[@FelixImmler]

Super!!!

[@Faenwolf]

Great DIY Video as always. Very inspiring! The people at HORL should also make a smaller version optimized for SAKs and sell it together with you as „Felix Immler Edition“ 😊

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this compliment! :-D

[@areed2000]

Felix's projects are the highest form of praise. Taking an idea and making it better. Sharing it is just gravy for us.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you very much!

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

How clever you are! I love it! And you took the time to make it look attractive. I have Swiss Army knives from the 1960's and 1990s and they have never been sharpened. When I get time, I will try to make one. I have most of the tools you used, though not all.

[@backyardoutdoorsman8282]

You never cease to amaze me Felix. Thank you once again for your wonderful ideas. Using your system, I will use 800 and 1200 grit sandpaper to maybe get a sharper edge. Keep those videos coming, I learned so much from you.👍👍

[@FelixImmler]

Your comment makes me happy! Thank you very much!

[@Titanykus]

You my friend are the Victorinox Beast!!!!! This company should hire someone like you for the creativity. The Victorinox Beast Cronicles. Thank you Felix.

[@kanukkarhu]

Wow, so cool! What a nice solution to an everyday problem! Very attractive sharpener! I'd really like to know more about the saw!

[@FelixImmler]

Haa ha haa thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnSlZWCQqahmaas

[@elmacho7561]

Awesome Felix¡ Thanks. I am designing a similar one, but with a thinner middle pipe, only the edges thicker.

[@QuantumPyrite_88.9]

A lot of work to make a knife sharpener, but very interesting from an engineering standpoint . Thanks Felix for another very interesting and useful video.

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much for this compliment!

[@SwedeEad]

The roll sharpener was great but what really made me go "Whoa!" was the tiny 'bushcraft' BuckHackSaw. I must make one of those. Thanks Felix 🖖

[@umollerstrom]

Love that little saw! ❤❤❤

[@FelixImmler]

Haa ha ha, danke Ulf!

[@Unclejona]

Thank you Felix, very good

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot!

[@pseutube]

I was looking at those rull grinders but always thought they were priced steeply for my requirements. Great video as always !

[@lanedexter6303]

Nice sharpener and nice DIY build! In general, any guide that maintains consistent angle and eliminates the human “wobble factor” is good. This sharpener looks very handy and easy for anyone to use.👍

[@stephanelachance6195]

This is totally new to me. I like the idea of always having the right cut angle. I use a bucher rod but I'm never quit sure if my angle is ok. Thanks Felix for another very interesting video and take care.

[@dexterne]

You sir never cease to amaze. This looks perfect. What a simple solution for swiss army knives, and how easy to customize with an even finer grit head!

[@FelixImmler]

hello Tim . Thank you so much for this wonderful compliment!

[@MasterYoist]

I made the same thing a couple of years ago. At 4:43, what I did was insert - what I call the barrel - into my drill press and hold some fine sandpaper against the barrel to smooth down the sides. You've got a great idea Mr. Immler. Thanks for sharing.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent idea and it worked very well, my friend! Thanks so much for showing this inexpensive way to make your own!

[@slickheisenberg8208]

This needs a 3d printed equivalent.

[@boagart]

I have a Parkside (Lidl) disk sander too, I've been using it for over 4 years now. It's been a great buy for me.

I'm lucky enough to have a friend who sharpens blades, but this was still a great video! My friend also have a bottle of whisky for me, I need to dull some knives so I have to visit him :-D

[@Olyphoto7]

Very cool. I really like how you incorporated the angle guides for stropping, bravo 👏

[@FelixImmler]

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot dear Steve!

[@johncramer9564]

Most of the labor and equipment used in this video is to make a rectangular piece of wood into a smooth cylinder shape. Most people do not have all of that equipment. It would be better to just make out of a wooden closet rod used for hanging coats. These are available at Home Depot or other hardware stores with a 1-inch diameter (25mm). I might try this. Thanks you for making so many great videos Felix.

[@FelixImmler]

Go your own way... there is nothing wrong!

[@th.burggraf7814]

Gar keine schlechte Idee, kann nicht schaden für unterwegs so ein Gerät im Handschuhfach zu haben... Gruß aus Oberbayern. 👍🏻

[@mrdminkov]

Great idea! And easy to make. I would give an option to print it out with 3D printer, and to make the end of the ramps to be at the level of the strop. This way it will be more like smooth transition from the ramp on to the strop instead of repositioning the knife. Anyway - great job!

Nice! ...and you can sharpen taller blades by rolling the sharpener on top of a plank.

Yes that works. But this system is mad for max 10cm knifes
