Sharpening a knife…. AGAIN! Using harbor freight 1x30 belt sander

[@Deathbyswordpoint]

the only reason we ask is because we want to know how you do it and not what some other "salesman " is trying to push on us . we love your honesty.😁

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol. Thank you. I try

[@sooneradmirer4382]

​@@peterbiltknifeguyI am one of those durps

[@TexanTheFirst]

The "dull" knife is sharper that my EDC 😅 I need to learn this skill. Thanks for the video

[@rukinaa]

The sharpening device doesn't matter too much from what I've come to realize. It's all about technique and being consistent in the way you do it. Gramps sharpens his Victorinox on the bottom of a ceramic cup and makes fun of my "fancy" tormek and whatnot, good old times

[@salgonzalez908]

This was awesome content, I think you need to do side content on just sharpening. Bravo

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Well I do sharpen all the time lol

[@skhan3855]

As one of the dumb dumbs that were asking for the sharpening vids, I do appreciate this 😁

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol. No. Because the dummies only watch my shorts

[@lisamcqueen8509]

Love it! Thanks for sharing Steve

[@mikepersia5362]

I’ve been using a Kalamazoo 1X42 for fifteen years and I get my knives stupid sharp. The 1X42 felt belts and leather stropping belt is where the magic happens!!

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Excellent! Thank you for showing us pleebs how you get incredible edges on your knives!

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

It wasn’t informational. Just a demonstration. lol

[@jonathandiamond6801]

Dude I think I'm going to send you my entire collection to sharpen......pure perfection!

[@singingtoad]

You get scary sharp results with your sharpening method, right on! 👍Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Thank you. It works well for me

[@douglascarkuff1969]

I use one of these to sharpen my knives as well (though I don't go to all the you do with stropping). I have been sharpening against the the backstop, but I'm thinking the way you do it is better. I'm going to try back the back stop off and try it.

[@Eric-gi9kg]

Always enjoy and sharpening video.. Though I did find your previous video.. with your help. Thanks Again for the 2nd How To

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol. This wasn’t so much of a how to. More like a how I. I think this is the fifth “sharpening” video I’ve done so far. Honestly I don’t like to show it because if you aren’t careful. One can quickly ruin a knife. Thank you for watching 😊

[@ChrisvilleUSA]

Thanks, I didn't know you already had sharpening vid's I'm fairly new here. Thanks again

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol. Sorry Chris. It’s probably mostly my fault for not organizing my videos so its easy to find

[@PFG62]

Nice job on that E4 . I keep one of those on my nightstand , Been sharpening the last two days many blades. Long 50 year obsession for me ! pete

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Right on Pete

[@lisamcqueen8509]

YEAH, KNIFE SHARPENING!!!

[@HeronMarkedBlade-ef7zz]

Ok, I'm the guy that sharpens everyones knife, I can put agood edge on.... but that cutting soft paper towels is freaking insane...

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Sir. This is just for KZbin. If I was to sharpen a knife for someone it wouldn’t be this sharp lol

[@HeronMarkedBlade-ef7zz]

​@@peterbiltknifeguy Probably for the best lol 😆 I can see many a severed ligament otherwise!

[@brandonteague4874]

Looks great going to add that to my personal Christmas list

[@LuisGonzalez-gl4wc]

Nice. I wonder what the San Mai Master hunter would look like with 15 degree bevel. The 15 degree bevel on the 3v version looks huge

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

It does. It was very thick behind the edge

[@ashesofwar9476]

I can't wait for your next short, so I can ask you how you sharpen your knives. Awsome video, thank you.

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol. Thanks

[@jeff1806]

Would you share that process how to make it?

[@adambowhuntz]

Yep you got it down pat!

[@malnatt1715]

👏👏👏👏👏 Fantastico, propio il video che cercavo,ho coltelli abbastanza affilati, ma quando ti ho visto fare la prova sul tubo di cartone 😲😲 ho provato con i miei😟😔😢 mi sono reso conto che dovevo passare a un livello superiore, primo passo procurarmi levigatrice + nastri 600 800 1000 pasta verde, e fare modifica per appoggire la lama inclinata + misuratore di gradi poi pratica,pratica fino raggiungere l'obbiettivo se riuscirò sarà merito anche tuo che con i tuoi video mi hai invogliato a migliorarmi, grazie mille. Un saluto dall'Italia🇮🇹😉

[@UltraMagaFan2]

How did you make the angle guide for it? I’ve been wanting to get one of these belt sanders and that would help me a bunch.

[@gonad84]

Very good. I have many ways to sharpen since I got into knife collecting a couple years back. While my edges are good the paper towel kicks my ass. My very best edges get a few inches then snag.

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Hay. That’s still a VERY sharp knife.

[@malnatt1715]

Uguale/ idem 😕😔

[@patrickriarchy6054]

I was about to buy a Ken Onion worksharp for $120 and the attachment for $70 that changes the belt orientation and has an angle guide. Thats too much fkn money and before you even buy additional belts for it. I'm going to just buy the 1x30 belt sander from Hazard Fraught instead.

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol

[@dlrmon1]

Glad you seem to enjoy sharpening your knives...I much prefer dulling them. Just spent 3 days “In them thar hill’s” beating on a bucket of blades. And being my usual self, I didn’t think of documenting any of it till the last few hour’s. I actually did make a few crappy videos I’ll probably be embarrassed to show. It’s a step in the right direction. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks...lol

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol. I enjoy sharp knives. Not so much the sharpening. You should post the videos

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

How was your trip? I’m in desperate need of some outdoor adventures.

[@dlrmon1]

I couldn’t ask for better weather. Trip was a gear test and tune along with conditioning myself for a big trip in a few week’s. Acclimating to altitude and cold... “embrace the suck” so they say...Playing with blades is always a bonus.

[@robertmunguia250]

That little sander can work wonders! Happen to have one too. Just need an angle for it.

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Yes it does!

[@robertmunguia250]

@@peterbiltknifeguyhow you make that angle guide?

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

I used 1/8 inch angle iron and bolted it directly to the platform. Then cut it at an angle. Then I use a digital angle finder to set it

[@homegrownbrews]

​@@peterbiltknifeguyhey what angle did u use and why? I love your set up and the jig u made to allow for edge trailing sharpening and stropping... trying to replicate this and just was wondering on your starting angle, thanks and love your vids brother

Ok, im too lazy to see if you answered this in the other sharpening videos. The green compound belt, is that just a regular belt backward with paste on it or a specialized belt?

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Just a regular belt

[@TheMobster450]

What do you think of the worksharp elite belt grinder ?

[@Maitairanch]

What’s the plastic jig with the purple tape on it ? Would love to know !? Great video

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

That’s actually some angle iron. The tape is to keep the blades from scratching. I’ll be making a video on it shortly

[@HeronMarkedBlade-ef7zz]

​@@peterbiltknifeguy Looked through your vids but didn't see the jig video. Do you have a link Sir?

What is that attachment you have on the sander table with the purple tape? Is it something you made or something you can buy?

It’s just an angle guide I made.

Isn't a 15 degree edge gonna roll like a wood shaving when it gets put under any kind of hard use? Like I understand that degree on a gentleman's folder, but a fixed blade? Never seen it before is all.

[@jasonstouder]

@@peterbiltknifeguy all you KZbin knife sharpeners act like you have some crazy skill. You're literally metal finishers. You put it in the jig, you move up in grits. You polish. Wow. The fact that you guys all need 3 different 1x30 sanders and all that just means that you don't really have master level skills. Being a knife sharpener means one of 2 things. 1. You have almost no usable skills, otherwise. 2. You failed at whatever else you were doing before you decided to sit in a closet grinding on metal. You're not all that, man. Sharpening knives is a 1/10 AT BEST actual "skill". Sorry to burst your little "flannel and leather aprons" dream bubble.

you measure the bevel afterwards? ur initial 70 degree against the running soft belt seems reaching an approximate 15 degree

You have that backwards. If anything it increases the edge angle

What kind of jig are you using for the angle of your blades when you use the belt sander?

It’s just something I made out of angle iron
