Fascinating video on looking after knives, carving and otherwise really. I'm very familiar with using wet and dry papers since I was a vehicle body sprayer, now a long time ago. Most enjoyable to watch and hopefully learn from. Cheers and take care...

Hello you southern homesteader. Hopefully my good lady & myself will be there. Loved it last year & really want to go again. Are you going to TBS this year? Think Jacquie & myself will only be going for the day if we go at all this year. Peace out Bro.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Stokie Joe Bushcraft Unlikely i'll be going to this years TBS but all being well will definitely be at the WG as like you said twas a superb event. Will be a pleasure to meet Mrs Stokie and congratulate her on putting up with being married to you for so long :-P ~Peace~

[@daveholte7658]

Greta video as always. What compound do you recommend and where can I purchase? Is White better than Green Jewelers rouge? Thanks

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Dave the compunds all differ in terms of grit, the geenral advise is to get a medium / light grit if you are just maintaining your blades ~Peace~

[@MBSRbushcraft]

Lovely video! I like sharpening, I take my time for it and create my "zen moment". After that not only my knives are sharp, but I can also think sharply again.... Peace Mahdi

[@Zedoutdoors]

M.B.S.R. (Mahdi's Bushcraft & Self-Reliance) I totally agree Mahdi, btw im half way through watching your sharpening video and you have a great set up for sharpening so no wonder you enjoy the activity :) ~Peace~

[@Brummiejohn200]

Great video Zed on sharpening,atb John.

[@Zedoutdoors]

John Wellings A pleasure John my Bromy stallion and thanks for watching ~Peace~

[@DirtyRoomKnives]

Great vid Zed, really enjoyed it mate

[@Zedoutdoors]

DirtyRoomKnives Many thanks Del, I always enjoy seeing others interpretations on sharpening techniques as they all differ slightly ~Peace~

[@abbasduman6963]

How do you make the polishing so shiny? When I tried polishing on leather with some compound you could see some fine scratches on it...

[@Zedoutdoors]

Hi Abbas when using sharpening stones / sandpaper it is adviced to work through to the finest grit you can, and then use leather to for gthe final finish ~Peace~

[@justinsane332]

the scratches you see are from lower grits that havent been fully taken out as you progress through the finer ones. It can also be that your steel isnt as good for the mirror finish. Not all steels are equal, and some dont finish as well as others.

[@kan-zee]

What a Fantastic Instructor ,Lee is. I was curious about the Hook knife sharpening techniques( Loving the Sheath on the ikea rod) ...Outstanding demo with great videoing. Many Thanks ..Cheers ;-) ATB Kanzee

[@Zedoutdoors]

Kanzee Lee is a very smart yet humble guy, and I agree, the ikea sharpening rod / sheath is pure genius ~Peace~

[@ddyrock]

Many many thanks

[@Zedoutdoors]

Thank you Claude ~Peace~

[@simonsmith3551]

Useful information liking the blade but could you tell me what sort of compound used on the leather strop? And what grades or sorts of compound you can use ? Many thanks

[@Zedoutdoors]

Simon Smith Thank you for watching Simon, theres many options for compound and you can get medium / fine grits. Personally I use 'starky blue' which is a medium grit compound ~Peace~

[@pondguru]

Another nice information packed video - thanks for the upload. This makes me realise that when I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger using a rock to sharpen his sword in Conan the Barbarian he was definitely doing it all wrong.....

[@Zedoutdoors]

Pondguru I reckoned if you adorned a leather thong and horned skull cap you could easily pass for a geordie conan ~Peace~

[@pondguru]

Zed Outdoors lol, if I filmed that one it would get an age rating for sure.

[@DroneGirl1]

Nice tutorial :) Love it! Thumbs up from me! :)

[@Zedoutdoors]

Drone Girl Lee's a top fella so appreciate him taking the time to record this ~Peace~

[@DroneGirl1]

Zed Outdoors It was brilliant :) Have a good day ! :)

[@louisemissouri4410]

Thank you thank you both, this was such good info. The round one is such a great idea. :) ATB Louise :)

[@Zedoutdoors]

Louise Florida Isnt it just, I thought that round sharpener was a super idea too when I first saw it ~Peace~

[@henkisa]

great vid zed and larry what kind of compound do you use ???

[@Zedoutdoors]

Henk Schutte I use a fine white compound that was supplied by Nic Westermann ~Peace~

[@survivaldeutschland]

awesome, thank you two, i really did learn something`!! where did you get your knife-set from`? all the best Stefan

[@Zedoutdoors]

Survival Deutschland Thank you for watching and for your kind words Stefan, this amazing knife set I got from Lee over at Covert Craft as he makes all of these by hand ~Peace~

[@fergusrb]

His sandpaper, did it come in sheets then he cut it up and put double side tape on it or did it come that way?

[@Zedoutdoors]

Bruce Ferguson You can get both varieties from suppliers like 'Axminster Tools' in the UK ~Peace~

[@fergusrb]

Thanks Zed.

[@TheFerret2020]

nice i do love people different methods of sharping awesome vid agen sir atb rob

[@Zedoutdoors]

TheFerret2020 I agree Rob, I always enjoy it myself too watching other peoples techniques. Many thanks for watching my friend ~Peace~

[@rosseveritt8250]

Some useful tips there. Great vid. I use Japanese Waterstones and a leather strop for my blades. :o)

[@Zedoutdoors]

Ross Everitt Japanese waterstones is on my shopping list very soon ...once I get them i'll be part of the cool club like you ;) ~Peace~

[@lukthere2]

Man i still cant sharpen my skandi grind knives. Always get a convex shape - especially with the higher grits. Kitchen knives i can get razor sharp. But these are still impossible for me

[@Zedoutdoors]

I filmed a tutorial with Ben Orford a while ago that should help - zedoutdoors.com/youtube/mora-knife-sharpening-and-maintenance-ben-orford-tutorial

[@MarcoJetti]

I really like your videos so forgive my suggestion... Please, use manual focus with your camera! It’s really a pity that often there in an issue about the focus, especially when you get close to a macro framing. Thank you for your work! All my best.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Indeed Marco I have a new camera now so the one I filmed this video with was very diificult to do so ~Peace~

[@MarcoJetti]

Zed Outdoors Oh great! Never ever let your camera decide your focus! 😅 🤟✌️peace

[@middelhedeeinstk5848]

Really good tutorials...I enjoy whatching them all ;-) Thanks for the help (scandinavianforest_finest) ;-)

[@Zedoutdoors]

Appreciate you watching and for your kind words ~Peace~
