How to sharpen a knife with a can of beans

Dull tools are a pain. This applies especially to kitchen knives. There's nothing more annoying than preparing food with an implement that squashes the ingredients rather than cutting them.
You can probably imagine that I have quite a few sharpening implements around my house. Still, I am always keen to try new methods of achieving a razor edge on my cooking knives. I have lately been bombarded with advertisements for these roller-type sharpeners. Of course, I had to test this principle!
I hope you enjoy the video!

Yes, catchy title idea!

[@markdesolate]

Yes, you are back! I recently discovered your page.. its fantastic!!

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! I’m glad you like it!

[@kdks7843]

Amazing. Great work!

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks!

[@AlexanderOvercast]

Nice! I cut off the end of an old table leg for my abrasive roller. It's too big and this is a great idea for a substitute.

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! It works great. But I’m a bit scared that one day I’ll drop it and all the goo comes out :)

[@matthiassoellner]

Well done, Mr. Horl 😃

[@imadethischannel]

Haha, thanks!

[@VORONM]

Very original! I take into service 👍

[@tri0nic]

So easy!

Going to have to try this out and thanks for sharing it!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks!

@@imadethischannel You're welcome and thanks for sharing that!!

[@deralte680]

Thanks for showing. This will save me a lot of money (and its pretty much the same construction as the Woorl sharpener)

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks for watching. I haven’t tested the Horl thing myself but it seems that it may be a bit more sophisticated ;)

[@deralte680]

@@imadethischannel true, but at the end: it sharpens knives in a specific angle with a cylindrical thing 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@imadethischannel]

Indeed 😬

[@einufo]

Very good BUT: How do you open the can for the beans now??? Sieht gut aus und funktioniert, ABER: Wie kommst Du jetzt an die Bohnen in der Dose? Gruß Tino

[@imadethischannel]

With a knife this sharp you can slice it right open.

[@einufo]

@@imadethischannel 😂🤣😅😉

[@fredp1983]

Very cool.... How come you didnt sharpen from the heel of the knife?

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! I’m not sure what you mean. But I think as long as you end up with polished surfaces it doesn’t really matter how you do it.

[@ssindreb]

@@imadethischannelhe means: why didnt you sharpen the entire cutting Edge surface on the knife? Why just the middle? Cause now you havent sharpened the part closest to you (the heel)

[@Myrkskog]

Very impressed. Where did you get your uber strong magnets from?

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks for watching! I ordered them on the internet.

[@flopparussiancat2195]

The way you made straight 20° аngle cut is amazing. Perhaps, you dont have a lathe machine to turn the round piece of sharpener? I have a feeling that you might have enough skills, but witouth machine.. don t you?

[@imadethischannel]

I would love to have a lathe at some point. But with too many technical aides, it also becomes boring at some point..

[@flopparussiancat2195]

@@imadethischannel good point. The bean can as a constructional element is quite entertaining to see:)

[@ronpardue]

where do you get the rubber tires??

[@imadethischannel]

They are gaskets that I ha lying around.

[@konradmack2152]

Diy horl sharpener.

I have Only a can of pineapples there... Can i use that too?

[@imadethischannel]

I guess it’s worth a try ;)

[@andrewscott985]

1000 years from now someone finds your jig without knowing what is the use of such device, looks for some details on them internets, but cannot test it because they don't use knives anymore and after accidentally dropping the can and a red liquid comes out of the . . . device, they conclude: _ahh, so this is the lubrication liquid, but how did they got it to get on the abrasive side? Anyways, interesting people the 2000'neers._ P.S. Very nice to watch, your work process. Also, nice to see the replication of overpriced products. Cheers.

[@imadethischannel]

Haha, thanks. I wonder if the stuff will still be red in a thousand years, though :)

[@dixonqwerty]

Excellent build and video man!! I am absolutely making this!

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks, go for it!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, dude! Really well done! 😃 Brilliant jig indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! Stay safe with your family as well!

[@stefenney3126]

Just a suggestion, don't start cooking the bacon and eggs prior to making this sharpener, it may end up frazzled !

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, it was VERY crispy.

[@Dos_rq]

Simple y egectivo. Gran trabajo

[@jesus.castro.6144]

[@imadethischannel]

I think they won’t mind :)

[@MASI_forging]

Fantastic work as always. The knife looks so sharp.👍👍

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! It‘s actually a pretty crappy knife but the thing got it super sharp!

[@fmSevastopol]

Пальцами помидор выдавил, типа нож тупой ... 🤣

[@sethjohnson1590]

That's not going to be square. Pull tab nubbin

[@imadethischannel]

Well, good observation:) I sanded it down to the rim of the can on both ends, though. So it should be fine.

[@DIYTechTrends]

The way to sharpen your knife is quite cumbersome. I have a video tutorial to make it simpler and more effective, you can refer to it. ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@imadethischannel]

Ok, which one exactly?

[@BlackTalon53]

Bro, just learn to freehand...
