TSPROF Kadet Pro sharpening system

This sharpening system is definitely on the expensive side. What do you think about it? Is the price justified? Would you use a system like this? Do you have any qualms about it being "Russian Made"?

The best way to find the perfect angle is to use a Magic marker along the blade and adjust the angle until you are removing the Magic marker. The best way to know what angle you are using is to buy an angle finder. You still need to wipe the Diamond dust from the blade each time you use the stone so you don’t contaminate the next stone you use. You can also add polishing stones , 1500, 3000, 4000, etc, to your set to get a mirrored finish on the blade edge. Also get a jeweler’s loop or strong magnifying lens to look at the edge of the knife as you are changing stones, to see how the blade is being sharpened. The edge of the blade should look like a mirror if you spend enough money and time to sharpen the edge.

Excellent advice, thanks.

[@benm2370]

Is the "T" version a different animal somehow, or just a different finish? If the same why not buy the more reasonably priced one? Thanks!

[@FittoSurvive]

@@benm2370 I've not reviewed the "T" version. Looks like it might have an extra adjustment at the back, but I might be wrong.

[@benm2370]

Is the base large/stable/heavy enough to avoid having to clamp or hold with one hand?

[@FittoSurvive]

Yes, the base is very heavy. I've never needed to clamp it down or hold onto it.

[@AYellowPepper]

Dude, that Hunter pro with a Manix2 blade is has got to be the star of the show! that looks AWESOME! :D What a cool knife!

[@FittoSurvive]

Thanks. It really is a cool build. 👍🏻😁

[@Zachariahfml]

Always use 2 clamps unless you have the single dual side clamp because your knife shifted while you were sharpening. Wouldve been worse if you had to reprofile and actually remove lots of material.

[@martinmdl6879]

17 Degrees is optimal for EDC. 14 Degrees for kitchen knives. Recommend "Kline" digital angle cube. Zero on the rod. Then set on the BASE OF THE ADJUSTABLE CLAMPS and dial in the 17 degrees .

[@groznyneme]

That's actually amazing

[@FittoSurvive]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@michaelkeller5008]

dude - if you'd put out a review of a russian product in europe, you'd have severe issues now... (heil ukraine and all this shi...t) btw like the system, i got one "made in germany", working similar - not as comfortable as this one for sure (sadly, there's a total embargo for russian proucts here) but question: i have a SAK here needing sharpening... shall i attempt to restore the original angles, or should i take another edge that cuts better than the vic-standard?

[@FittoSurvive]

Yeah, I expect(ed) some people to make comments about it being Russian made. I knew now was not the best time to post this review, but I had already agreed to review it. 🫣 There was one Ukrainian that commented about Russia, but it looks like KZbin took down his comment. The SAK has a 15-20 degree edge. You could take it down to 10 degrees if you want it to be even sharper, but then you can also expect the edge retention to go down.

[@michaelkeller5008]

@@FittoSurvive well - nothing against russian products aso. it's just ...crazy times. to say the least... (over here - say you'd prefere peace-talks over wea...ponsdelivery and you'll be canceled (crazy²) thanks for the degree-tip. guess i'll keep it original then (it lasted for almost 20 years and only got numb recently... can't be all wrong then)

[@tjarsun]

Looks cool and high quality but waaaay too expensive.

[@FittoSurvive]

It really does put itself way out there...

[@vtxdaryl]

It’s only expensive if you can’t afford it. You can’t get the same results from a cheaper knife sharpener. In order to get professional results you are going to spend around $1000. Don’t even try if you don’t have the money.

[@FittoSurvive]

@@vtxdaryl 🤣👍🏻👍🏻

[@Peter-jo6yu]

Moar custom sak videos please!

[@FittoSurvive]

Will try do to that 😅

[@vindice5849]

My kadet comes this Saturday, I got the tsprof diamond stones to get me by until my hapstone cbn comes, I cannot way! I loved my KME but it wasn't efficient for kitchen knives

[@FittoSurvive]

Nice! I'm sure that you'll enjoy it.

[@Zachariahfml]

I have the hapstone premium cbn man they give weird feedback I'm gonna try to get some edge pro matrix diamonds because hapstone premium cbn 80 grit is like 600 grit diamond lol it's good for finishing touches tho

[@vindice5849]

@Zachariahfml do they have a metallic film? I was told I needed to dress them first because it has a protective coating. Once I dressed them they cut 1000 times better, they should be a pink color not silver so it they're not pink all the way across they're definitely needing dressed

[@vindice5849]

@Zachariahfml make sure to email them about it, they threw in a bunch of free stuff when I complained that I spent almost 500 on stones and would need to spend another 100 to make then work. They sent dressing stones strops and some other goodies too, but I'd bet that's your problem I was blown away how bad they cut until I dressed them and thought it was just my stones. Now my 80 cuts super quick and has a gorgeous scratch pattern

[@Zachariahfml]

@vindice5849 I ordered a dressing stone about 15 days ago cause it's coming all the way from Ukraine I'll have to send them a message I had a feeling this might be the case cause there is no way an 80 grit is that fine. How have you liked the results on your knives after you dressed your stones?

[@stephenbarabas6286]

I'll stick with the Worksharp Professional Precision Adjust.

[@FittoSurvive]

That is a nice system too. I use the WorkSharp Ken Onion sharpener to sharpen my custom knives. 😁👍🏻

[@lgroves336]

Code saves you 25 usd as of Sept 2024

[@FittoSurvive]

Thanks for the update. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ДмитрийНовак-э7ы]

Были бы руки на месте,можно и старым лански с убитыми камнями заточить супер, а так виневский брусок и все.

[@FittoSurvive]

Это да...

[@martinmdl6879]

1.5mm Hex and 4mm Hex (jaws)

[@Platoface]

I bought one just to support Russia.

[@FittoSurvive]

LOL

[@UncleChuckApproved]

cut a sheet of paper to test sharpness...

[@FittoSurvive]

Yeah, that's a common test. Perhaps I should have stuck to that.

[@konstantinkostin4432]

Оооо Российская заточная система "Кадет")

[@FittoSurvive]

Ага, классная вещь 😊

[@stevenlachance8576]

Sponge cutting cringe.

[@FittoSurvive]

😬

[@harpsnake]

I have no problem with russian made stuff, as long I'm sure, that the money I pay don't support russian economics, so they may collect taxes and put the money in the war. So basicaly old/used stuff, that already is outside of Russia is OK.

[@FittoSurvive]

I see what you mean.
