I have been sharpening knives for over 50 years and I still stopped and watched the entire thing, enjoyed it too. Dave is one of the few people on the planet who could get me to do that. I learned that there are less expensive stones that can work just as well as the expensive ones and that by itself was well worth the watch. Thanks Dave.

Excellent video Dave. One tip I've seen for beginners is to take a sharpie marker and mark along the cutting edge. As you work it along the stone you'll be able to more easily see if you're hitting the bevel and are being consistent with your stroke. Or when in doubt picture the angle of a match book and that will get you about a 25 degree bevel. I go a little shallower about 20 degrees for my kitchen knives, and the straight razors are more like 10-15 degrees. Generally speaking the shallower the angle the sharper it is but the more prone to getting dull faster. Sharpen according to use. i.e. razor is cutting hair, kitchen knives are slicing meat and veg, 25 degree is better for batoning through wood, forcing their way through package strapping, cutting hoses, ropes etc.

Dave, an excellent instructional video! When I was young, my dad taught me to sharpen my Cub Scout knife and knife safety. He said "a dull blade is a dangerous blade because if you accidentally cut yourself it will leave a jagged wound which can be harder to repair and they can cause accidents and are harder to work with." I have learned to and have been sharpening anything with a cutting edge ever since. A confession, the only blade that I intentionally dulled and never sharpened (other than the tip) was my M7.

The small stone is a slurry stone, used to make a slurry on the surface before sharpening. The slurry does most of the work on a water stone and it creates less wear on the main stone. Water stones cut fast but wear fast as well, oil stones are harder, wear less, but take longer to sharpen. Great video as usual.

My elderly neighbor was a butcher..he he fillet a fish before I could get hold of it....he would stroke that stile so fast you'd swear it didn't leave the blad let alone switch sides...the more I look back the more I realize what I learned....FIND the old guys. Nothing more valuable than free experience or knowledge... make they're day ..ASK THEM....

I've learned from your videos; I've learned from others over the decades. I have only gotten a little bit better, even though I own the finest equipment. At some point, visual coordination comes into play. At some point hand coordination comes into play. I have probably dulled more knives in trying to care for their edges than I have through using them...fine as their steels have been.

Hey Dave, I’d like to think there’s no such thing as a stupid question so here goes what may be a stupid question. What would guys like Kephart and Sears have done with their knives in between processing cuts would they have laid them on the ground or returned them to the sheath and what was the process?

I use a different way to sharpen my cutlery, but not too awful different. I use mostly the double grit norton stones, but I also have a couple of the H F. stones for a couple of dollars each and they do a good job, although they are softer and wear faster. A lot of the old men when I was young used to do circles on the stone when they sharpened blades. I just do the cut-a-thin-slice-of-the-stone method since that's what I've had the most success with. As long as we all end up with a sharp blade, that's what counts. Thanks for the video
