Sharpen A Sloyd Knife - Reviewing The Spoon Crank "Sharpening Kit"

[@peaches93]

This was awesome! I would love to see the hook knife sharpening. Thanks!

[@andyspoons]

Good to know!

Use your spoon mule to sit at when you sharpen and clamp your sharpening stick into the place where you hold your spoon when you use your draw knife.

[@andyspoons]

Not a bad idea!

I've been nervous to sharpen my sloyd but you've given me confidence to have a go, thank you.

[@andyspoons]

That's so wonderful to hear, thank you for letting me know!

I use a leather patch glued to a paddle and use green, red, and blue rubbing compounds only. My knives are literally like razors.

[@barrygraber9776]

Very informative thanks. I personally prefer using paper verses stones as I feel as though I have more control. And yes whenever you find time I would enjoy seeing you sharpen a hook knife. Thanks Andy

[@andyspoons]

Paper is definitely the most forgiving medium to work with, I do enjoy it as well

[@SomewhereintheWild]

Great video Andy! I really learned a lot. Kind regards from Norway 🇳🇴 😊

[@andyspoons]

So happy to hear, thank you for watching!

Nice review and demonstration Andy! I'm going to mention this video, your channel, and your website in the next episode of Wood Carving Weekly.

[@andyspoons]

i have a 1200 edge craft and a 1200 golden lobster red wet stone and i have used that for years when i need mirror sharp edge i used a piece of grey slate stone. now i typically just go to 1200 because thats sharp enough to cut and with how much i abuse my daily kinves anymore is just extra work ill have to do every day

[@andyspoons]

More than fair enough! I would say 1200 is a great working edge 👌

[@flyfisher76544]

Nice

[@traceymammen2049]

Thank you. I enjoy your tutorials so much! I learn a tonne and I find them therapeutic, they’re calming. I have a question 🙋‍♀️ You mentioned that you would sharpen a chef’s knife differently to the sloyd. Can you elaborate please? Thank you 🙏

[@andyspoons]

Hi there! The theory is the same, but a Sloyd has a much larger distal taper than commonly found on a chef's knife, so the physical motions are a little different

[@H_Oscarsson]

Great video! Sharpening a hook knife would be really nice to see.

[@andyspoons]

I'll put something out soon, for sure!
