How to Hand Sharpen a Scandi grind knife EASIEST WAY I KNOW

[@glennmurray8037]

Hello, you explain everything so clearly and at a pace everyone can follow.

[@robertlawrence7958]

The best sharpening advice I have seen. For me, the top tip I took from here was using the magnet and discovering that it is a welders magnet.

[@deedubbs4412]

Afirm, an Anisotropic welding magnet, cheap as chips in the states - They smell awful when the ferrite melts under the welder though!

[@DB-cx6cb]

Yes me too just went to Amazon and ordered set of 4…..$20.00 50# magnets 🧲 and ordered rolls of sandpaper for my Scandi grind knife on eBay $18.00

[@peterballemy9929]

Thanks for posting a brilliant video! Explains everything, including keeping yourself safe. Forget all those fancy 'sharpeners', THIS WORKS!!!

[@WiltshireMan]

Thanks Peter yes it does work, just keep your fingers away from the sharp edge

[@hammerstoneartifacts4986]

You sir are a mammoth of knowledge. A true craftsman that us out here can only dream of becoming. Your hair would not offend or put off anyone who has a grain of intelligence. Please keep being you brother.

[@davidkurle5418]

The idea of the welders magnet is a game changer for me. Thank you for this very thorough lesson!

[@RobWhittlestone]

Great video Sandy. I had always believed it necessary to sharpen perpendicular to the knife's edge. You opened my eyes! I think your comments about knife sharpening stem from something bigger and deeper. A hundred years ago, there were more facets of being a man that were accepted and had their own rituals. We had more ideals about what it means to be a man and figures we looked up to for various reasons, some were people we wanted to emulate, too. Initiation rites of old have all disappeared so there is only a diffuse sense of belonging to the local adult male community whereas in older days, this would have been marked with recognition from others. I grew up expecting a man to have his own tools and workshop in order to be quite self-sufficient, to be able to fix his bicycle, motorbike or car. Or fix things around the home, a chair, a table, or do things in the garden, grow potatoes, build a wall, level and seed a lawn, paint the house etc. This is how my father lived, and his father before him (he could fix shoes too). Unfortunately only my maternal grandfather hunted (I would have loved to learn this but we didn't live near). Not only was the use of the tools valuable knowledge, but also _care_ for the tools was important. There were no cheap Chinese imports for anything. If you bought a tool it was an expensive investment, so you looked after it properly too. Learning to sharpen a knife is for me an integral part of owning one. BUT in the olden days we would have learnt this latest in our teens and the knowledge would have stayed with us all our lives. Our father, uncle, grandfather or elder brother or cousin would have taught us. Nowadays family unity is being politically eroded, gender stereotypes attacked, men rendered "replaceable" sperm donors and the value of our teachings and ethics go unrecognized, so that boys often grow up nowadays sadly without a father in their life and of course the mother cannot provide the knowledge that an earlier-style upbringing would have brought. So the lore of what it means to be a man in traditional terms is patchy at best and nonexistent at worst. My father died sadly when I was only in my mid 30's and lived abroad since I was 20 so I have been trying to catch up on some of these things for myself: including knife sharpening, shooting, navigating, gardening, wood- and metalworking, cooking, motorcycle & car maintenance. Everything I regard as belonging to adult malehood. But without a mentor it's often an uphill struggle. My own son lives in a different country so it seems the pattern is perpetuating itself; I would be delighted to be able to change that. All the best, Rob

bloody hell man that was the best knife sharpening i,v seen for a bloody long time i,m 65 and i just learnt a bit more never to old to learn a

[@kingbernad7345]

Sandy thanks for this. So I have been sharpening my knife the right way. At the moment I don’t have any of your knives but I sharpen my knives using sand paper and a big pencil eraser as a sanding block. I found it to be the easiest way to keep the blade angle especially on the curved part of the blade.

[@DDan61]

As someone that does a lot of whittling, I know the importance of a sharp blade (vs dull). I normally use a whetstone, but I now know a new way that I will (without a doubt) check out! Many thx for the knowledge transfer - just looking for a magnet at the moment. Keep yourself and your Family safe and healthy my friend! Greetings from Germany!

[@Jackloreknives]

I have whetstones too Dan and they are very good but this method is so easy to keep the angle correct

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

Great video and advice. I personally use a variety of oilstones and a couple of different grit strops. The first strop I use the green compound then a very fine iron oxide one which I believe is 10,000 grit which is designed to be used for shaving razors, then just smooth leather. I really enjoy sharpening my knives and find it very therapeutic. I keep all my knives razor sharp. I also love buying old knives from car boot sales or bric a brac stalls just so I can sharpen them up. I can spend hours doing this. For me it’s a great pass time and a big part of my bushcraft hobby.

[@zorbakorba4180]

I concur, once i started learning to sharpen my hatchet & axe i felt like i earned the right to use them as intended... took a while to start traveling down the path of knife sharpening... stumbling along but getting a sharpness as i practice more and more... thank you for ur excellent example of how to & encouragement... ur right an essential skill.

[@martins8914]

You are a legend Sandy. My Wife Jan Silk bought one of your knives a few years ago, my friends are so jelous. I am just about to sell my motorbike and buy all the kit to start to make knives, you have inspired me and many other people with you fantastic videos. Keep well Sandy. Regards Martin

Brilliant! - I finally managed to leave a shinny, free of spots, smooth-to-the-eye edge on my true scandi grind knife!

[@cocovasquez1]

Thank you Mr Sandy! Be safe and God bless. Thanks for all your knowledge you share with us.

[@dtl5623]

I learned how to sharpen a scandi grind on a Morakniv Basic 511 (that cost me less than $15) & a combo alum stone from the hardware store ($8). Before buying an expensive knife like a Jacklore I encourage people to learn to sharpen on an inexpensive knife & stone! I'm still no expert but my knives are now razor sharp! I became proficient enough to take off the large secondary bevel on my 2 x Hultafors GK knives & reprofiled my Morakniv Robust.

[@sdriza]

exactly - nothing better to learn on than a mora!

[@miguelquazar883]

This is the best video I've come across showing how to sharpen a knife. I have been needing to properly sharpen the the first scandi grind knife I ever bought. This helped me greatly reduce the intimidation or fear of doing it incorrectly. I respect your harsh words. You are so right man. If you can't sharpen your knife, you really shouldn't own one. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and technique

[@WiltshireMan]

Sometime Miguel you have to be cruel to be kind. I am glad this video has been helpful for you. Thanks Sandy

[@ashleycoups3922]

this is soooo helpful sandy and absolute genius - the magnetic pipe clamp is £6, holds the knife perfectly and gives a really good and clear view of the sharpening surface. Transformational. You are such a likeable genius.👍

[@TheStickbow]

Hi Sandy, I taught my grandson on Japanese water stones, 400, 800, 1200, and finally 6000,8000 and then on a strop using tormek paste, he used an old cheap mora to learn on until he got the technique. Time and money very well spent I feel as he will own these skills for life. Take care and have fun with the dog.

[@Jackloreknives]

That will give a very fine polished bevel

[@DB-cx6cb]

Hey there, Just got my first Brushcraft Scandi grind and love it. Love your method of sharpening and ordered all your items on eBay. In 2020 the Covid required our Barber shops closed.so I went on EBay ordered what my personal barber used was the Oster Classic 76. They in the barber world refer to the Beast. Paid under $100.00 went to several videos on Utube and learned to cut my own hair. At 25.00 per cut + tip monthly. I have saved a lot of money and quickly paid for my clippers. Being in the US Army I like a military cut. It looks like you have short cuts and May be a good saving for you. But for the pretty boys with long styles they probably need a stylist.

Beautiful job Sir! I always get great results using a wet stone but this method is interesting! You have amazing results and I’m going to have to try it! Thank you for for the lesson! And I also believe if you have a beautiful hand made blade you should also know how to sharpen it. Thank you!

[@Bushpony]

Thank you so much! I am new to this, just successfully sharpened an inexpensive knife the other day for the first time, not a scandi. I've got two moras and I'm basically relying on a strop after use because the idea of having to sharpen them has scared me. You turned what looked like a daunting ordeal into a very understandable process. Thanks for pointing out the difference between getting a "sawing" type edge vs a "smooth" or less toothy edge. I really needed that info! I see your knives on BCUSA (bushpony) and I'm just in love with your work.

Thank You Sandy for a great way of sharpening a Scandi Blade, My favorite style of grind. Yes if one is going to own and use a knife then sharpening it is a must. Thank You for a very good lesson on how to do this right. I have to get a welders magnet a great tip. Take Care and Thanks Again from Ontario Canada

[@bomaite1]

I wouldn't have thought of that magnet. Thanks for that. I have always thought that you should keep the knife stationary and just move the sharpener. It is otherwise too easy to roll the blade over. I usually hold the knife steady in my hand with my arm on my belly and look down the edge as I run the sharpener lengthways, similar to you. But your method looks better. I'll try it.

[@russjordan371]

Hi. Just discovered your channel tonight. I’ve ended up binge viewing. Enjoyed every word - in fact the best compliment I can pay you is that you remind me of my all time hero Jack Hargreaves. I will join the ranks of would be owners and take my chances alongside the other hopefuls.

I've only made 2 knives with scandi grinds. This is the only way I could figure to sharpen them and keep a nice hand sanded finish on the bevel. Glad to see I wasn't far off lol.

[@marksadventures3889]

Relaxing to watch and very informative Sandy. Years of working in kitchens and abattoirs can only be successful if you use your tools correctly and care for them. There used to be a guy with a small van who'd go around all the kitchens sharpening knives for chefs and butchers. I preferred to do my own. I use a stone and strop.

[@willhas8416]

EyUp Sandy, I tried your Scandi grind method I’m really happy 😃 😃😃 with the results I’ve got. Keep on with the knife making I’m still trying to get one of yours?

Cheers Sandy keep the videos going both Jacklor and Wiltshireman miles better than TV programs. Cheers Will

[@MarkyThreeKnives]

I've always avoided scandi knives because I've never been able to sharpen them well on stones, in the traditional looking-down way that so many people show (like Ray Mears). I tried your technique just now and my little EnZo Elver 85 (which I had previously ruined) is now the sharpest knife I've ever produced from re-sharpening. I will now switch to scandi (which is always superior for carving), secure in the knowledge that I can always bring it back to perfect at any time. Thank you! BTW I used some of those tiny stones that are about two fingers wide and the length of a hand and they worked just fine. I worked up from 240 to 320 to 600 to 1000 and then stropped with tormek paste and it worked wonderfully for me - something to think about.

[@TheMckenzie99]

I'll be giving this a go, looks quite straightforward. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to get my knives that sharp!

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

I found a video where a knife sharpener used the 3M brand automotive 3000 grit sandpaper. $4 each. Works as well as diamond paste. Or a Strop. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us. I'm learning how to keep my Morakniv knives razor sharp after hours of carving Ferro rod handles from fatwood. Not to true saturated fatwood but the nice pretty orange knuckles from deadfallen pine trees.

[@kristaps2010]

Great video Thank you sir! I bought Mora Kansbol instead of Casstrom or other more expensive/custom knive as my first knive. Happy with it and will learn sharpening the correct way. Back in a day 30y ago in boyscouts I had mora frost basic knife. only now I realize it was a very good knife for 12y old kid

[@Ve-suvius]

Mors Kochanski most often used the Mora 511. Cody Lundin the Mora #1 now for more than 33 years. Bruce Zawalsky the Mora 511 for more than 20 years, and now the Mora Pro C . Mora's are very good knives. I prefer the Mora Companion carbon, the Companion carbon Heavy Duty MG, and the Mora Pro C. And I have had many more expensive knives... Becker's , ESEE's. BRKT's etc. Mora is all I need. For chopping a machete and/or axe are way more effective than big knives anyway..

Thanks Andy, This method of sharpening works well on scandi bevels where the bevel is flat. If your Condor is convex it will turn it into a scandi.:) Just make sure the angle isn't too lean otherwise the edge will not have enough strength.I have a Condor bushlore knife and that one is a convex. If I scadified it, the angle would make the edge weak. Sandy

Great method I'm going to get myself a piece of Corian and give it a go on a Condor bushlore I've got which although sharp at some point I've managed to put a secondary bevel on it, I think probably using whetstones that were worn and not flat. I'll try and get the true flat scandi back on it.

Hello Sandy..(or as I'm introducing myself for the first time)..Hello Sir. Having only just discovered you on KZbin a couple of days ago ,I can honestly say what a joy it is to watch and listen to you work and give detail on your skill. After a hard days graft of working outside in all weathers on these darker evenings in beautiful Gloucestershire, I get in, light the wood burner, get the kettle on and sit at the table , cup of tea, next to the fire with dog at feet and stick on Jacklore knives..."ahhh"...Can you hear me sipping that tea!?😁. As I've quickly come to the realisation that after frantically searching your website for a buy it now...I wont be owning a couple of your knives. So I would like to ask for some feedback please if possible? I'm 44 years old and I am now thinking if I can't get hold of one, then how do I go about starting off from scratch to have a go at making one? what metal, quenching oil ,handle materials and basic forging tolls can I get away with? Would love to hear a reply ..even if you cant be bothered to go into detail👍. Thank you kindly,...Damian. Oh and by the way...if you're ever going to be looking for a dog next year(beautiful cocker spaniel).give me a shout...My wife is insisting that when our dog pups we wont be selling them at the ridiculous prices...and will only going to genuine people . will probably hear from me again!....All the best😁👍

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Damian, if you check out my other channel Wiltshire man you'll see that I now have a new dog:) But thanks for the kind offer of a pup next year. The problem I have is supply and demand. I can't build enough knives for everyone. I build approx 2 or 3 knives a week and experience 1.5K of unique website hits per week. Do you have an email, if so let me know. If you want to start making the best bet is to go through my videos. All the info is there. It will cost you a small fortune to get setup but you could build a knife cheaper by using hobby grade equipment but to get a good heat treat really needs an accurate kiln, one that will hold at 800C for atleast 30 minutes, thats if your working with 01. You can do a basic heat treat where you raise the steel to cheery red (none magnetic) and quench, this will harden the blade to some degree but it won't get all the carbides into solution. You'll need to temper a blade at a much lower temp also. Be prepared for your early work to be not so good. They will be learning knives Sandy

Can't stop watching your videos. Great content. Great host! Keep it up. Wondering if you dry knife scales and let them soak for a month in cactus juice will that "set" the wood enough? Here in Ontario it gets -40,°c in the winter. My work shop isn't heated so....Thinking of stabilizing scales over the winter in my basement. I can leave my house and walk in any direction and cut trees. Yellow white birch, elm, maple, ash, oak, walnut, apple, spruce, pine and willow. The list seems endless.

[@Jackloreknives]

To properly stabilise wood depends on the wood type. Some wood like birch will stabilse very easily, maple on the other hand needs more time. I generally drive all moisture out using an oven set to 102C then when cool vacuum the blocks in cactus juice for atleast 2 8 hour cycles, then leave to soak for 3 or 4 days, then I transfer to pressure pot and leave them for a week at 4 bar submerged in resin then bake at 100C. Result perfectly stabilised blocks

I have several friends who own decent knives and complain about not being able to get them sharp. I have given them all 121 sessions on sharpening and because they couldn't do it the first time they give up and end up buying expensive sharpening system.

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.
