Beautiful work on my Norseman, Nathan! Love it!

[@jodyrowe8166]

Just out of curiosity how well did that edge hold up?? I just got my first norseman and the knife is absolutely insane but definitely not amazingly Sharpened from factory. A sharpening is a must. How did u maintain the edge and how often ?

[@samuellongstreet690]

I like the smoothness! Great video again!

[@JB-kf3yb]

Best sharpening video by far for unique knife bevels. Thanks Nathan

[@sanhxhebsbbb1048]

Looks amazing

[@joerglammers3160]

Wonderful Work very helpful video 👌

[@sirkus83]

Beautiful work.

[@bamaknifeguy]

Phenomenal job bro. I freehand everything and it just ISN’T an option for me on this knife. I have #3912 in hand right now and I just broke out my edge pro apex. I appreciate it very much. Great video 🤘🏼🤘🏼

It's crazy all the work this dude does when the factory just sharpens it with a Trizac A65 belt and then leather strop belt with compound and done.

[@sainanliemsanjaya]

what is the angles do you use to sharpen the grimsmo norseman?thanx

[@poopagore]

how much to sharpen my norsman? I have a KME but I'm nervous to try it lol

[@Lee_B_Futures]

Personally 30fps is fine with me. I think the camera being in focus is a more important factor. It's not like I can watch anything close to 1080p with my crappy DSL anyway lol

[@alphasmurf6563]

Been watching this dude for years and he’s by far the best sharpener in the country. Hope he starts sharpening again because it’s such a waste of sacred talent not to. Come back already Nathan.

[@Ryan-mj6rc]

Probably a dumb question but can you use a Spyderco sharpmaker on this knife?

[@jodyrowe8166]

Yes

[@user-pm7pw1tl3t]

Rip convex

[@Alltrippy]

Shouldn’t you be changing the angle on the Tanto part since it is thicker than the recurve part?

[@darshankumardave7485]

How do you take thumbstuds off for sharpening ?

[@spadeknifeworks]

A torx driver, depending on the knife. The Norseman just screws in with a T8 or T6

[@MrGrintar]

are those the shapton pro stones? or the shapton glass?

[@spadeknifeworks]

Both. Some are Glass, some are Pro.

[@MrGrintar]

you find one works better than the other? only asking because im looking at buying a set for my EP.

[@spadeknifeworks]

+grintar No, not really. The Pros generate more slurry than the glass though. Results seem about the same.

[@jodyrowe8166]

Holy shit
