[@BPDRacing1]

You are the Bob Ross of knife sharpening....and I love it!

[@mattself1389]

You look happy. That chefs knife is mint!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Matt! I am happy

[@gesarts3625]

I love this knife. That handle is one of the most beautiful handles I've ever seen... and I'm somewhat of a knife guy and appreciate good craftsmanship.

[@Marcywm42]

This is a piece of art. Almost too beautiful to use.

[@DawahTrucker2024]

Beautiful finish‼️

[@bradleycallahan6169]

One of the cooking show personalities, I think it was Alton Brown, said that the best knife sharpener you can buy is a professional knife sharpener.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

haha I like Alton. I used to like this cooking science series, I don't remember the title. Each episode he was on a quest to make the perfect _____ sommething, whatever it might be. Great

[@MrWylis]

Fantastic work, mate. Well done.

[@famasmaster2000]

Oh Kyle.. that knife is divine!! That handle is simply stunning. Never cease to amaze me brother. Off the hook sharpening as well. simply a beauty !!

[@GM-xf8dc]

Hello my fellow Canuck! I love your custom made knives and videos and am learning a lot from you. Thank you as well for playing that old "Star-Spangled Banner" in the background, as it really shows the "patriot" in you.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks friend! Glad you're learning and finding value in my content.

[@gregmccormack5709]

That's a beauty of a knife, sharpening process is always enjoyable.

[@rocko.2007]

I love that!! I want to do what you do so bad. I have been refinishing knives for a long time but buddy you’re great!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Rocko! Go for it!

[@SirTar]

Just received my bakeapple, absolutely awesome work kyle. Keep it up!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thank you Aaron! So glad you like it. Enjoy!

[@michaelbarton5169]

Great work! Love the profile, the hammer marks, and those great scales. The fiddle and mandolin towards the first of the video was my favorite: proper kitchen music for the kitchen knife! Cheers

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I try to convey what I FEEL when taking on the task. Thanks Michael!

[@singingtoad]

If I had such a pretty knife as that, I'd be afraid to dirty it up in my kitchen. Well done, Kyle. Cheers!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Haha Made to work! They can always be cleaned up and re-sharpened. No harm done!

[@edwardralphsmithbezuidenho492]

looks amazing great video !

[@robertanstey466]

I got side tracked at the beginning singing “Leaning, leaning, safe and secure……” been a long time since I’ve heard that tune. Excellent work yet again. Definitely considering a custom job from you.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I can understand that Robert! I had to take a little worship break while editing and adding in the song. What a beautiful piece of writing! Thanks for watching, friend.

[@rlinka1]

That looks perfect!

[@troybranaman316]

Omgoodness Kyle that knife is gorgeous!!! You done an amazing job 👏. Your talent is so awesome! Awesome video as always Kyle! Take care and stay safe my friend

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Troy! I really appreciate the encouragement buddy

[@patrickthompson389]

Buddy, sometimes I just watch your amazing vids for the narration. Reminds me of sitting in the smoke shack on Hiberna, listening to the Newfoundlanders spin a yarn about "that time at the shed...." . Concise content, great techniques, clean production. Sub'd!.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thank you Patrick!

[@markluke8447]

Beautiful knife, great craftsmanship, you make the sharpening look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Mark!

[@williammrdeza9445]

Awesome job, Kyle! What a beauty. I loved the discussion about thinning. Thanks for another informative video like only you can do!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Bill! Happy to see your comment!

[@dalethomas8015]

Nice job. Thanks for all your hard work. Blessings

[@victorfranca85]

Handle work is difficult and dusty. This is why I am just doing folders. Good job on the forging.

[@sharpfactory3705]

Nice as always

[@matthewg9205]

Thats an amazing looking knife! Wow, I'd love to own one just like that. Excellent work, thank you for sharing

[@matthewg9205]

Also, I made this comment prior to the polishing and sharpening, so yea, thats a sexy knife

[@infidel24]

Beautiful

[@waltv6385]

Beautiful work, Kyle. I must say, as proud citizen of the USA, with a daughter living and working in Canada (Okatoks, Alberta) I especially appreciate the beautiful chamber music background of our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. Thank you very much. With all the woke generated hatred and division going on in the world, watching a good, wholesome content channel such as yours is a refreshing diversion.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thank you, Walt! I love the USA and I'm proud that Canada is so closely connected. I'm glad you're enjoying the content, friend. A diversion relief is needed sometimes buddy. Heavy times!

[@leonfuhrmann8579]

Fantastic work. Star Spangled Banner was a nice touch

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Star Spangled Banner is more than just a touch!! ;-)

[@clydem56]

Very nice, great job.

[@Hawkez11]

Love the handle.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Daniel!

[@mojo6524]

I'd have that in my kitchen!

[@GrilledCheeseMouth]

i’m not really that into chefs knives . but , that looks pretty sick ! I love the unfinished mixed with the polished edge

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I really like the contrast as well!

[@cliffhughes8658]

God Tier blade😎👌

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Wonderful

[@Swamp-Fox]

Beautiful knife! Where did you get your burl for the scales?

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I can't give up my sources!

[@stardusk1726]

Wait is the star spangled banner song playing in the background

[@bushcraftoutdoormesser4933]

Another amazing project. The handle looks so nice.

[@tharmashmeric1068]

Some nice classical music there.

[@DrFrankLondon]

Looks great, mate. What's the estimated thickness behind the edge? Looks quite thin and slicy to me. My Japanese hand forged kitchen knives are all sharpened at 15° and stropped up to 0.025 micron (which is totally unnecessary), but I love me a good mirror polished edge. The knives don't really need a stropping after sharpening, but using my Jende Industries Nano Cloth strops and just tickling the edge on the from 2 micron down to 0.025 gives a beautiful edge. When I can't be bothered, I usually stop after my Rika 5000, but on that stone I only use stropping strokes just in case there is a small burr left which I can't feel even when dragging the edge over my thumb nail. If it's leaving a black stripe, it's usually a sign that I still have a micro burr left. The Rika works very well as a stropp and a sharpening stone if you are going to an even higher grit. Great job, Kyle! Been following you for a few years and great to see your progress and the business taking off. I remember the days in the garage where it was freezing cold and you had to dress like an eskimo to stay warm. I wouldn't have been able to work in those conditions. Keep it up, Sir!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Those cold days were rough, but had a large impact on my growth as a craftsman, but also as a man. Thanks for the reminder, Frank. I'm not sure of the measurement of thickness behind the edge of this knife. I'll try to get a measurement. I'm curious: Have you experimented with different grit ratings on various foods, how the grit finish interacts with different foods?

[@DrFrankLondon]

@@kyle_noseworthy when it comes to grit ratings for different foods I have done it very simple. A bit more toothy and higer angled edge for hard foods like certain vegetables, fruits and nuts. Usually stropping at 3 or 4 mikron afer finishing on a 1500 grit stone. When it comes to softer types of food like meat, fish, certain vegetables etc I lower my edge angle to around 15° and goes up to Rika 5000 or a Shapton Glass 8000, depending on the steel, then stropping up to 0.025 mirkon. But I am using only benchstone sized strops so I always have a strop in the kitchen which is a Jende Industries Kangaroo leather strop with a 2 mikron poly diamond compound/spray, which is used to maintain my kitchen knives after use. I have a BESS tester from Edge on Up and I used to do much more scientifically, but it took to much time so I went over to the method I am using today. But for instance my EDC knives, except from my Cris Reeve Sebenza's, are usually sharpened to an 17° mirror polished edge, that goes for all brands, Benchmade, Spyderco, Strider, Cold Steel, etc but for my Sebenza's I keep the factory angle and sharpen it convex like it came from the factory. Fixed blades are usually kept at an origal angel convex or not but depending on the steel and the purpose of the knife. As I mentioned above, I have almost moved away from science and now just going for what I prefer and enjoy. But I still keep a spreadsheet where all my knives are registered and with which angle used ( more or less) and the BESS results they produced after sharpening.

[@alastairbrown5174]

I bought a cheep 6000 stone off Amazon but it is really loud compared to your 2000, how would I fix that?

[@kyle_noseworthy]

There isn't really a way to 'fix' it. I would first say that sound doesn't matter if you're getting the results you want. However, usually noise translates to coarseness, so the stone that amazon claims is 6000 grit probably isn't really a 6000 grit. That is pretty common with cheap stones.

[@alastairbrown5174]

@@kyle_noseworthy Ahh right ok, yeah it does seem to get ok results (I’m still pretty bad at sharpening anyway) but I might look into getting a better one at some point the, thank you!!

[@dbanks3156]

Love the national anthem in the background

[@davee.9906]

Anybody else sing the National Anthem? 👍

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Beautiful!

[@saintfox6064]

that handle is painfully nice!

[@TomBostian8255]

No, I don't like that knife. I LOVE it! 💘 That is so-o-o beautiful!

[@ravenbarsrepairs5594]

Cutting paper only shows the blade has a nick free edge. A rather dull blade can slice paper as long as it lacks any defects that can catch and tear the paper.

[@tarz9386]

Now just throw that bad boy in the kitchen knife drawer and the wife and kids will take good care of it. LOL,VERY NICE WORK I like the red wood.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Haha I don't think I'll do that, Mike! Ouch. I cringe thinking of it!

[@Steve.budgen]

This is what I do, cut paper all day. Oooh yeah just gorgeous ! 🤣🤣

[@kyle_noseworthy]

haha snip snip

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Gosh you got soooo many stones... Lol... I know the one I got is crap... It feels like just total garbage... Lol Your old stones would be far far better than this. I know I know... Just go get a better one... Yeah. That's another one of my goals...

[@kyle_noseworthy]

They're pricey investments, friend. I get it! Invest wisely on the right stones in order as money permits

[@autumn5592]

Don't worry, we've all been there. But my advise is, if you can't get money (or very little money) to buy stones, but have a few tools and time, find some local natrual rocks that'll work for sharpening, and lap them. Slate, river rocks, fine sandstone, granite tiles, ceramic tiles, bricks, even some well smoothed concrete can work. I've done the majority of it, currently preparing a 4x10 chunk of local slate. I'm not expecting it to be fantastic, but it should be fine, and preliminary testing shows it to be fun to sharpen on. You can work with loads more, don't let money limit you. But, you can get some great stones for cheap too. Don't be afraid to buy used stones either, sometimes you can get some good stones that way.
