  • As a very avid cook, and kitchen knife enjoyer, I have spent a lot of time sharpening knives. Over the years I have seen, I'd guess, at least 30 "knife sharpening" videos. I genuinely think this is the clearest, most approachable one I've seen for all levels of experience. Teaches, sympathizes, and reminds.

    • Vincent is the GOAT. He understands the practicalities of actually using a knife. So many times knife sharpeners feel like a knife needs to STAY sharp. Vincent seems to understand that knives get used.

    • Vincent when you are repairing the knife on that coarse stone try an even more obtuse angle to rapidly get to the bottom of the chips in the edge. Then as you progress and that damage is close to being repaired, lower the angle until you reach your chosen sharpening angle. Just some food for thought. Thank you for what you do.

    • I learnt its easier to maintain angle when you dont move your hands at all, but instead move your torso back and force with your leg. Like swaying movement, long and relatively slow. Managed to sharpen my knife to a point i can shave hair with it

    • The first time I sharpened a knife it took me like 4 hours. It takes a lot of dexterity and hand strength to apply force to the blade while overcoming the friction on the whetstone while maintaining a fine sharpening angle consistently. But conceptually it's quite simple. Just sharpen the blade without destroying it.

    • Just take your time. At first just do everything slowly and meaningfully, thinking about every muscle you engage for the task. Then repeat it plenty of times as slow as you can, don't think about speeding up. Few days later you won't even realise you already have speed you could not reach a week ago.
