Thank you for posting. I got my pack today with a used knife that I’ll be putting on the ViperSharp tonight 🤙

[@ViperSharp]

Good to hear. You'll love the results!

lol, Yes, I'll see if I can tone it down in future videos. :)

[@arupian666]

LOL ! Was just about to comment... cranked it to hear his quiet voice, then blood spurted out my ears once the intro music started.

Question sir. So correct me if im wrong. We use the lapping film last to get the sharpest edge. But we dont have a stone for that bcuz they r so fine they wudnt last like an aggressive stone which is why the films are disposable?

[@ViperSharp]

I'm just seeing this. No, the lapping films are for creating a mirror finish.

What is that clamp called with the arm? Where can I get one please? Thanks

I bought the aluminum oxide ones 5-1 micron and barely get a mirror edge. Should I use these or the diamond ones to get a better mirror polish? Thank you!

[@ViperSharp]

What steel are you working on? Diamond is the hardest thing on the planet so it will always work better than other options.

[@PinedaMMA]

@@ViperSharp I was using them on cpm m4 and its coming through a bit but not a lot. M390 took it better and s30v took it the best, but I'll get some diamond films soon then 👍🏼 look out for an order of diamond stones soon for Jayson Pineda in TX 🤘🏻

@@ViperSharp Can you please make a video more in depth of lapping films and stroping after 250-1200 grit diamond sharpening? I'm still somewhat new in the precision sharpening world; been using a worksharp the last 6 years and got tired of it ruining my edges and nice knives. Thank you!

[@ViperSharp]

@@PinedaMMA You Bet. I can do that. I'll put that on for this week. It may be a few weeks before I put it up. I have several already scheduled. I might be able to throw that into the middle of them all though.

[@PinedaMMA]

@@ViperSharp Thank you so much! I've learned to strop, but not too sure what to use for the polishing compounds and or how to clean and maintain strops; I've seen many ways and methods, but I want some more in depth material. Thank you for listening to the community and alwaya trying to improve the products, it's greatly appreciated!! 👊🏼

[@rammcconnell]

Could you just explain what they are? I watched for like 2 min and still have no idea

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Seeing that knife flex in the jig gives me no confidence in the sharpener.

[@ViperSharp]

Thin blades will flex in any jig. I totally understand though. You’re probably seeing it for the first tone and haven’t seen it in person.

[@BennyCFD]

You can absolutely get a mirror edge with a 10,000 water stone....................................

[@ViperSharp]

Yes indeed. That’s one way to do it.
