Watching this guy sharpen knives is like watching Bob Ross paint trees.

[@shashiekka7917]

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

[@pikomedia]

Wow, that single Mora got more care and attention than all the Mora knives combined in Sweden... We use them for just about everything, including opening cans, cutting chicken mesh, jamming it into an occasional fuse socket, and worse. Most users just buy a new one when it gets too damaged, but the most thorough of us simply sharpen them with a whetstone, and that's it. I've never ever even thought of polishing it back to its initial finish. Nice job!

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Great technique and great tips. Thanks for the video! An alternate way to get similar results with available materials is something I found that works for me. I have a lot of very flat, 12” x 12” to 3”x 12” marble tiles left over from a bathroom job; for years I have used them with wet-or-dry type sandpaper (such as found at auto parts stores) in increasingly finer grades to sharpen my Mora knives and other blades. Use plain water to get the sandpaper to stick to the marble, and use a spray of water with a few added drops of dish detergent to lubricate the abrasive surface of the sandpaper and to wash the swarf off. After the job, clean each sheet of sandpaper with fresh water and set them aside to dry. Unless you cut the sandpaper or work the blades too hard, they can be re-used for quite awhile. If you have pieces of plate glass, they work just as well as hard stone. However, if you put glue under sandpaper to try to hold it in place, there is always a risk of trapping dirt or dust in the glue or creating bumps of glue under the working surface, any of which adversely affects the work and wastes time and money. Re-using glued-on sheets of sandpaper is difficult and not practical for finishing work; removing all the glue from the supporting surface to try to get a flat mounting surface for the sandpaper can be much more trouble than it is worth.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I have used all of those methods, and they work just fine. Agreed

[@deenoberry3360]

Got a bushcraft carbon this past weekend. Out of box it was the dullest mora I've had. I tried sharpen myself and got better. I watched this did exactly your technique and hair shaving sharp it took a bit but worth it. Thanks souch for this video!

[@patrickandkennafenwick3958]

Interesting - I bought the cheapest Morakniv available and it came with the most AMAZING factory edge I’ve ever encountered at any price

[@LegendarySkypenis]

@@patrickandkennafenwick3958 I had a dull mora, specifically the black carbon bush craft as well.

[@dageide6008]

I have just the same experience as You, after 30/40 years of outdoor, hunting & fishing. The Mora knives are the TOP RANK, so good in all ways, and the sheepest there is on top

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

Terrific job, Kyle. I have a Mora Bushcraft (and several others) all with Scandi grinds, and I've been sharpening them on both the Tormek and the Wicked Edge. But after seeing your video, I think I'll do the Scandi grinds on the stones and sandpaper like this. Thanks for making this video, and greetings from Australia. :)

[@asmith7876]

Just have to love the internet and the trolls/Mora haters. That blade is beautiful, nice work! Mora makes a great knife, and when you factor in the price, they're simply unbeatable.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Being a mora hater is kinda stupid. It's the goto knife in all of Scandinavia and has been since forever, and not simply favoured by johnny come lately internet enthusiasts but by working people and craftsmen. Just a common, functioning tool that has earned its keep. If someone want to knock it for having some features of a cheap knife, well go nuts. I can by twenty mora classics for the price of one high end knife, they are superbly useful for the tasks they are actually meant to perform, easy to sharpen and maintain and should you lose or break one oh well. I've got a bunch of them lying around - some dating back as far as the 70's.

[@asmith7876]

whynottalklikeapirat Exactly! I have a laminated carving knife I’ve used for decades. Takes a razor edge, makes great spoons and wood spirits and walking sticks.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

@@asmith7876 Well - some people expect a knife to also be a crow bar and hatchet. I tend to pair a mora and a swiss army knife with an old parang that's not too big, that I bought in Indonesia many years ago, and that's about all I need for the places I go. Frankly most of the work I do with the parang, which is just multipurpose. The rest is the mora and the pocket knife is really just a light weight tool box, I rarely if ever use that blade anymore but I guess it's more redundancy, which is always good, knifewise. I could get a light weight folding saw I guess but the need for extensive wood processing hasn't arisen yet.

[@asmith7876]

whynottalklikeapirat I’m about the same. I carry a Silky saw, Swiss Army knife, currently a Mora Garberg, and a small hatchet or tomahawk, depending on the fun planned for that trip.

[@raysmith5599]

I’ve done this to all three of my Scandys and it was well worth the effort. Thanks for the tip.

[@davidrogers182]

One of the best Reviews on sharpening I’ve seen! I’ve been sharpening for years and I still learned something new regarding Scandinavia grinds! Thank you.

[@madcat1007]

Thankyou so much for this. For the first time in my life I now have a knife that slices paper with ease. I had so much fun slicing my way through sheet after sheet. So enjoyable!!! Thanks again.

[@CrimeVid]

I have an old Mora Traditional fisherman( wooden handled job with scaler on the back) it’s always had a microbevel on it, cuts fine.

[@jordy703]

Just sharpened my Mora Garberg carbon for the first time with wetstones and after that stroped it. Got the same mirror edge amazing 🤘🤘 great knife great steel. Love Mora

[@huejanus5505]

I use a small piece of plate glass (very flat) and spray it with contact cement from a can and just stick the sandpaper on it, easy to remove and stops the sandpaper from curling or lifting. Don't spray both the sandpaper and glass as it's hard to remove afterwards.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I have seen this method Hue! Very nice :-)

[@gunny4029]

cant mem. name , ask worker if they have light sticking spray, , peels right off

[@michaellangshaw1521]

Once again, such a nice job. You’ve got quite a skill. It’s all,in the feel. I believe either you got the feel or you don’t and not everyone can perfect that skill unless they have that feel, that touch. Only someone who sharpens knows what I’m talking about.

[@DannyWalker1949]

You did a Great Job on that missed up edge. I was hoping you would show the cleaning up of the Top Spine in your video too. Very Nice Job of it, Thanks.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I decided to leave that out this time Danny :-) Sorry!

[@al3e2x19]

Kyle Noseworthy - Weiderfan hi how much do you charge for restoring knifes?

[@inverted311]

Alex Foxe That is his company’s FB page. Kyle is a super cool guy.

[@Jeff-vp9vz]

I was hoping to see the spine sharpen too

[@shawfestify]

Me too! I think every man likes to see something imprecise made back into 90 degrees, as baby Jesus intended for corners to be. Good job on the finished product though, right? I'm going to check out that FB business page link below in this comments comments, in case I ever mess one up so bad I have to pay to have it done :-) ---could happen, I think.

[@gomboczlaci]

Under the tip is not flat, there is a convex bevel. Btw the original skandi grind is not flat! They used very big diameter grinding stones, so the bevel become hollow. (sorry for my poor english)

[@borjesvensson8661]

The stone is from 25 cm to about 50 cm in diameter, then we hone them flat, but only each side of the bevel. Quicker to hone and easier to get flat freehand.

[@hurrdurrimaburr]

Probably one of the best knives you can get for $30.Super happy with mine. It could do with some sharpening though.

[@ryanmurphy3025]

I have a Mora that I regrettably have drawn through a double sided ceramic sharpener. However, I do have DMT's in 400, 600 and 1000 grit that should make short work to regain the original Scandi grind. Nice video, if I could give it more than one thumb up I would.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

thanks Ryan! I really appreciate that bud. I'll eventually invest in a set of DMT's, I would say, but my experience with them so far is that they tend to lose effectiveness quickly. They wear out!

[@0neTwo3]

Kyle Noseworthy - Weiderfan I thought my DMT stones wore out quickly too, HOWEVER, they continue to be very effective at removing material. I think that the stones are actually much coarser than advertised when they are new. Possibly due to the manufacturing process? Seems like they loose their rough new feel quickly and "settle in" to a more truly imbedded grit, smoother feel. I sharpen multiple knives on a weekly basis with mine, had the same set for a year now and even the xx fine which feels smooth as glass to the touch turns black with blade steel every time I use it.

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

Like Nathan said DMTs start out much rougher than their actual grit because of something like extra diamonds stuck to the real grit diamonds embedded in the stone. Ive had a set of DMTs for a few years and ive sharpend lots of knives on them and I also have used them to flatten both waterstones and an india stone they still work great! Also could you be able to show a little more of your technique for sharpening the knife? I have a mora and ended up putting a bit of a microbevel or convex on the front half of the knife.

[@ov3rcl0cked]

ceramic isn't to bad. I'd just be skeptical that its actually the right angle. Its the carbide ones I'd steer clear of since they just tear metal off the edge, giving a really rough nasty edge, and also taking away an absurd amount of metal for the edge they achieve.

[@ov3rcl0cked]

I wear down diamond stones by sharpening my axes with them first. From what I've head(could be wrong), the diamonds are just more aggressive till you wear them down. I really only use diamond for creating the bevel, removing chips, or otherwise removing a lot of material. Otherwise I tend to use arkansas or whet stones.

[@13irishsailors]

Great video! I actually prefer the micro bevel mora comes with. I tend to get a chippy blade when I've removed the micro bevel in the past.

[@survivalguyfyi5718]

Shit man! That's so sharp it could cut a fart. I've been told on several occasions that I can really put an edge on a blade. I use to make a little money in high school sharpening knives. I was also a butcher for about 4 years. But I bow to you Sir. That's insane. Never had a scandi though. Just ordered my two kids their first knives. Mora 511's. I called the distributer today to check on the status of them and decided I wanted one too so I added on a Mora Companion Heavy Duty in OD Green. Gonna add ceramic stones, 550 cord and fire rods to all three. Now for a quick joke. Why does the Norwegian Navy have barcodes on the side of their ships? So when they pull into port they can Scandinavian. LOL.

[@Onionbaron]

I wish people could se a real old Mora knife... The steel in those 100 year knifes are amazing!

[@chrisammann4041]

Really useful video, particularly where you incorporate sandpapers with the whetstone. A few tips on how to keep the correct angle as you rotate the knife towards the tip would be helpful. It's probably one of those feel/experience things - I guess I could sacrifice a Mora 511 to learning how to get this right!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Hey Chris! Thanks for watching. I try my best to make these videos as educational as possible, but I have released so many sharpening videos that I now sometimes exclude pieces of info as to not be monotonous. I have mentioned angles in several videos, including a video where I explained geometry using a whiteboard and drawings. Its a difficult balance, trying to teach new-comers, but also trying to progress with long-term viewers who have seen my previous content. :-)

[@chrisammann4041]

Thanks Kyle - I totally understand the balance issue! I've only just found your channel and have subscribed and will go back to find the videos that deal with the angles. Looking forward to it :-)

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Excellent Chris! Glad to have you here my friend. Please comment and ask questions as you feel!

[@phrlx]

i gifted one to my dad, at the beginig he didnt like it as much but later on ... he usses it only for meat cutting and dry meat cutting :D its AWESOME knife! so sharp man! so sharp!

[@fredbalster8516]

The best sharpening video that I have seen.

[@kristofferlundstrom5142]

I have a casström woodsman that i had to grind insanely much since the rounded part of the blade actually had a convex grind. However it's nice to know that I won't have to do it again! Regular sharpening is the smartest thing i think! Great work by the way!

[@gregcushing1716]

Holy snapping Arshole Batman that looks awesome.Love the technique,just sound your channel.

[@desertfun4all650]

Awesome video. I'll be doing this to my mora this weekend. Just subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more. Thanks for the great tips. Keep up the good work. Be safe.

[@chrispottle7143]

So nice to see a craftsman at work... awesome video. Strangely addictive watching...and I don't even have a Mora Bushcraft knife! HaHa must get me one!

[@famasmaster2000]

Very nicely done....I have a robust hq and I can put a sweet edge on that thing that cuts like butter. Although its carbon steel not stainless. Good vid and relaxing to watch, well done !

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I've been wanting one of those bud! Very cool knives. Their carbon steel is actually pretty tough! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks! :-)

[@wojtekimbier]

I bought a used Mora Companion Heavy Duty with a secondary-beveled, dull edge and made it a true scandi that drops all hair in one slice finishing on a 600 grit ceramic stone. No need to mirror polish

[@neversharpenuff9274]

how much did it cost used? as they're only 10-15 new

[@Snorky_88]

Fantastic video my mora garberg was dull af when i got it i had no idea even what a micro bevel was i watched a couple of your videos and turned my mora into a true scandi its razor sharp now i can shave hairs with it and cut thru paper like hot butter took me a couple hours but all i needed was some sand paper and my old whetstone i been using wrong for years till i watched this vid lol

[@theg-man7868]

Nice video, very interesting. Inspired me to renovate an old Mora that I found at work.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Have fun! I'm glad you enjoyed it Gareth. Take care

[@ChadMorgan709]

Nicely polished. I've never had a top end mora before. I have a few of the super cheap ones and even those don't disappoint. Good job bud.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I agree man. Mora makes a fantastic knife even at the $12 range. Very impressive company that KNOW what works.

[@sandybarnett7502]

Seems like I am watching all of your videos, helps beginner like me

[@crashingstoans5235]

I thought I kept my mora knives pretty sharp until I tried your method. Man that really works!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks! Pretty easy and cheap too!

[@stgeorge6947]

I attach files onto a pole and put the pole through a hook screw that i screw into on my bench. Then fix my knife down to a portable bench a bit lower than my bench. The file stays at a perfect angle. You can even get water stones on sticks but I do that bit by hand. It works great on axes too

[@111raybartlett]

Cool sandpaper on the stone trick. I'll be using that! Im gonna have to see to my mora as well. Man that polish is awesome!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks man! Been using it for awhile as a saving on my other tools. Quite effective. A fresh polish is so captivating isn't it?! haha I feel like one of those birds who are obsessed with "shiny"!

[@billyprendergast6631]

YES I can see the chips and rolls,half the steel will be gone before you get it sharp.Ruining a. knife 101.

Good video man. Same process I usually use when I have the time. A little patience has a big pay off.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I certainly does! Thanks bud!

[@tomkeller6982]

Thanks much Kyle. Enjoyed watching. I use a Mora Bushcraft Black and will remember what you taught here. I've not been able to beat the Black for the price. I wondered if you have a suggestion for a custom knife. Thus far I'm impressed with the Adventure Sworn Explorer and Rob Evans MK1 Tribute knife.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Paul! I do my best :-)

[@maxbel711]

Cool seeing a video with minimalist gear getting thing real sharp, it's not all about the gear!!

[@Bushchannel]

Very patient work, now I’ll feel like a hack every time I attempt to sharpen a knife :)

[@cavedog1279]

Great video. I have a Bahco 2444 which I'm relatively sure is a Mora, and I've used it quite a bit so it's in need of sharpening. I'm glad I didn't put a micro bevel on it before watching this.

[@saminthewoods]

Did the same thing to my tops Brakimo, worth it, because now it's much easier to maintain the edge.

[@Wahnsinnsr1nd]

very nice job! i would have liked seeing the polished surface directly after the 6000 grid before stropping. because in find it hard to get an even finish at fine hard stones on broad surfaces like scandi blades. espacially at the curved part. do you have any advice to get rid of this problem?

[@Ve-suvius]

I sharpen on sandpaper. Having the paper on a sanding block that has those metal spring clips. Works perfect. In one hand the Mora the other the sanding block. You can even do that watching tv 😁. The softer backing on that type of sanding block has a rubber type material, which results in a nice slight convex edge, which is a little stronger than the totally straight scandi edge. You will never have those uneven issues with the sandpaper with that rubber backing. The whole scandi bevel gets evenly worked.

[@timotg91]

Awesome video! For anybody who has taken their mora to a true scandi, how long did it take and which grits/materials did you use? Thinking about doing this with my garberg. Thanks!

[@patrickandkennafenwick3958]

100 grit?!? Are you CRAZY?!? I’ve just bought my first skandi grind knife, maybe I’ll change my mind after living w it for a while, but MAN that’s course!! I grit my teeth when I hit the 400 stone after chipping my knife on a bone.

[@getoffmylawn8986]

You're a master of freehand sharpening. Man, I have a hard time with that. Great video.

[@Woodswalker1965]

Well done as usual Sir! Love that polish!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Woodswalker! I appreciate it!

[@timhallas4275]

Here is a tip. Don't be offended. Sand paper, regardless of what's under it, will not give you a perfectly flat surface on your knife blade. It tends to bunch up in front of the knife edge and cause a slightly curved bevel. If you insist on using sand paper to finish an edge, then glue it to a perfectly flat surface. I use an aluminum block that was machined to be perfectly flat. Use tacky glue. the old paper peals right off when you need to replace it. Otherwise you should only use a stone to finish the bevel.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Haha Tim, we're living in tough times, when you need to start a piece of friendly advice with the words, "don't be offended". I understand that paper will move SLIGHTLY. However, if the right techniques are used, we're still only talking about a convex of a few thousandths, which is certainly okay by my standards. Hand sharpening isn't a game of thousandths, in any case. The human body will introduce some error even on a perfect surface.

[@timhallas4275]

@@kyle_noseworthy: Tough times indeed. People don't see comments like mine as advice anymore. They see only criticism. You are right about the slight convex being no issue in the real world of knife usage... but I will caution you, this is not the real world... this is the internet... where the majority of people viewing knife making videos are knife snobs and will grade your work based on some computer generated, CNC perfection. I personally convex all of my bevels, so that mere humans can sharpen the edge effectively and easily, without feeling guilty over "altering perfection".

[@MeyersCTR]

Nice job. You made that pretty knife beautiful.

[@treadmarsh1094]

Ah yes Kyle. Very nicely done

[@trinkladd]

For those who want a mirror shine. Take regular cardboard. Like a box. Take some metal polish or rubbing compound on it. Let it dry. Now strop your knife on the cardboard. It will immediately start turning black as it removes metal. Very safe! I cut my cardboard the size of a whetstone. A lil bigger if you like..

[@maxwell2.2]

If you use wood there is even less give in the material you are stropping on which makes the scandi less convex

[@IstvanYoutube]

Mora makes fine knives. Even the few dollar "tool knives" you get from them are quite decent considering the ultra low price point. 20-50 bucks and you're set for years, even decades with proper care.

[@leonardogranados2733]

[@joeynuggetz]

Always gotta mention feeling for the burr. If you dont feel the burr on the opposite side that you're sharpening then you're not hitting the bevel.

I did sharpened old sugarbeet heading knifes back in the 80'es. They where at least that sharp also, but it was old rusty knifeblades, but they could be sharpened immensely sharp!

[@MonkeyMikeOutdoors]

If you just want to polish a knife would you just start out at like 1000, and go up from there, or start lower? Thanks for the vid!

[@Kumofan]

Depends on the edge of the knife before sharpening, but yes you could definitely start at 1k. It would just take longer if the knife is full beforehand.

[@BTC_DNA]

Great job! Thank you for these educational videos.

[@Lazarus-aap]

Hey Kyle, how are you? What is the function of the micro bevel? Why would want it, or remove it? My guess is it will be sharper without it but gets dull easier? Is that correct?

[@TheNomadicTrader]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I'd maybe increase the F stop on your camera and introduce some more ISO to get more in focus? Might make it easier to get everything in focus.

[@TheNomadicTrader]

Beautiful finish!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks for the advice Rob, but I intentionally keep a low depth of field. 1. the low f-stop helps with the TERRIBLE lighting in my shop, and 2. it helps minimize crappy backgrounds!

Would be interesting to see what you did to make the spine 90 degrees. Great video!

[@michaelr425]

Hi, i am a boy scout and i really only use my knife (a mora)on camping trips, which are every few months. Because of this, i really haven't sharpened at all. Now i need to sharpen it and i dont want to spend ~$100 on stones that I'm rarely going to use, so i think sandpaper is one of by best options. If I were to sharpen my mora with sand paper, should I attach the paper to a marble counter top, or would a flat piece of wood be good enough?

[@shonuffisthemaster]

good job and nice edge, with a good demo of actual sharpness vs most people just slicing paper lol. but i think the claim of sharpest mora is a bit of an exageration;) i see some areas where you havent fully removed the scratches from the previous grit, and its a bit convex, really hard to avoid that using loose sandpaper. nothng wrong with that but not some perfect edge to brag about either. the best mora edge ive gotten personally was starting with 600 and 1k atoma plates, followed by nubatoma platnum 1500, 3000, then suehiro rika 5k, imanishi 8 and 10k, with each grit also changing my scratch pattern direction to insure i removed all the previous scratches, then followed by .5 micron chromium oxide on leather. the edge was quite flat, had a pretty flawless mirror and could whittle hairs with ease. unfortionatly at the time i didnt have a thread cutting setup to get a real non subjective measure of sharpness. however, i wouldnt call that a perfect edge either. if i really wanted a close to perfect mora edge, id take it down with microfinishing film or if i had the money diamond lapping film on precision flat surfaces (perhaps surface ground steel plates) to .1 micron and mabey finish on nano cloth with .05 micron diamond spray;) i see lots of posts on the forums with some really amazing mirror edged moras too. now i have to stop nit picking sharpening videos and go to sleep...just remember no matter how crazy and ocd you are about sharpening theres someone crazier out there;)

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Indeed! This is why there is a question mark in the title :-) The video did grab some attention, which is great!

[@scottsmith6571]

I scaled with back an fillet a big sea bass an it dulled

[@michaellangshaw1521]

I actually just recently started collecting knives again which was once a childhood hobby of mine. I also bought a Lansky sharpening system and have been doing a lot of reading and KZbin research. I m glad I have because I had no idea about the different types of grinds and would have ended up ruining some of factory edges on some or my knives. I'm still not sure about that but I m guessing I would end up not knowingly re profiling some of the micro bevels. Am I right about that?

[@jacobkindsvatter4055]

Yup mora kniv makes a good durable blade, easy to sharpen a very good price point, HOWEVER they don’t hold an edge 30 minutes of use cutting anything and it’s dull again

It looks sharper than it needs to be lol. When you need to shave the hair off your hair. Nice video :)

[@themodernadventurer4320]

Thanks for the video! I could not get my mora as sharp as it was a few years ago. A quick look at the tool marks and sure enough there is a micro bevel. I’m afraid that 100 grit is going to leave to deep of scratches in the blade...

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Nah it won't. How do I know? BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE LEFT IN THE BLADE.

[@themodernadventurer4320]

Kyle Noseworthy - Weiderfan Very true

[@bilbobaggins8876]

might be a trick of the lighting....looks like a big convexed edge, nice polished even edge though....takes a lot of practice to do well

[@ecrusch]

Good job.

[@UncleFjester]

What your doin is true craftsmanship, with knifes. Much like an Audiophile, is to listening to music. But, Its a $10 knife, I use a lansky @25° and is sharper than I need and beat the crap out of it. I dont shave, as you can tell, so it quickly becomes sharp enough.

Yo, how to sharpen the mora bush craft carbon knife? My wife used my steel mora knife to cut a mattress and now it’s fecked. Can I use this same method, friend? Many thanks

[@hoggif]

Making uneven scandi back to true scandi is often a lot of work because you need to work on the large flat edge (assuming you do that with hand). They get very sharp and cut easily even at pretty low grits like #1000 (stones, not P1000 paper). I have couple mora knives that I ground to my "normal" sharpeness, ie. up to #13000 with stones and then with strop with 0.5um and 0.25um diamonds. No need to continue to scary sharp method with plain leather after that. Due to large surface area, that is way more work than with grinds with small bevels! Do that only if you want to do that or need some practice for sharpening technique. (or if you want to experience a truly sharp scandi with the amount of work you rarely want to repeat :)

my problem was thinking i needed a burr like on other edges(convex) i niticed you went as cose to the apex as posiible without actually hitting it , 100 grit , and then got closer to apex as you went up on grit, have king you have and will try the 200 grit paper thanks

great job man . I sharpen my knifes and clients kitchen knives with a work sharp ken onion edition and been doing this now for 2 years daily i m quite good at it but never got around to stones .. they seams like a bit of hard work.. but you see i cant really get a flat bevel with a belt sender < thats why i m curious about learning with stones .... btw what are your rates for such a job? where are you based ? would you be happy to do a day course ? thanks for your time and for the awesome video .

Superb tutorial! Thank you 🤘

Great video. Any reports on how the stainless Moras do in the long run with modification to true Scandi grind (deletion of the secondary bevel)? Does the edge still do well in normal use?

[@Darthdeedee91]

how long do you spend on each grit level? Is it more of the look of the scratch patterns. or you go by some time or # of swipes on the stone?

[@SonnetGomes]

Excellent video. I had no idea that you could use sand paper to sharpen a knife. I have learnt something new today. One question though, how did that knife get a micro bevel? Do you think using those small counter (carbide) sharpeners were the culprit?

Mora knives come with a microbevel, though that looked a little bigger than the factory one perhaps.
