By the time you did all that work I could sharpen all your knives and mine.
thank you! I'm not going to go thru all that to sharpen one knife. You had to fasten that krife down to sharpen it..... so ... to sharpen the other side, you have to loosen the bolts holding it down, flip it, tighten it down, spray it....just too much. If I have trouble working with 1 knife sharpener, I'll get a different kind and try again. I'll be careful, pay attention, or ask for helpp if I need it. But that's just tooooo much to go thru... have a nice day
Lol, I got 3 minutes in and opted out.
Gold!
After creating the knife sharpener, the next sharpening takes less than 1 minute to sharpen it
@@creationholic101 To be fair on both fronts, someone that has practiced can sharpen a knife in about 40 seconds by hand with almost no prep (mounting the blade and getting the right angle on the device) to hair whittling sharp. HOWEVER not everyone has the time to learn such a skill and some others may have tremors in their hands which has a whole range of causes, or other problems that make them incapable of doing such a task by hand, which would make this device extremely useful. Edit: If you want to improve the design I'd like to suggest a way to lower and raise the set angle since this wont work on all blades, as well as investing in a nice diamond stone as you don't need to flatten them and they're much faster to use (I use 325 grit and 1200 grit). Lastly I'd suggest getting a compound to put on the strop to refine your edge (I use 8 micron and 4 micron).
Using a guided stone is fine, though not necessary after one puts in sufficient practice. i have one problem with this video and potentially a second: 1. WD-40 is a poor lubricant for sharpening, it will work for a while but soaks into the stones pores and ultimately gums up, clogging the pores - use a proper lubridant. Traditional wet stones can use either water or a non-gumming oil, but once oil is used even once it will remain in the stone's pores where it will repel water from the surface, so once oil is used it should be used subsequently. Water also works well and with 'Japanese water stones' is the only lubricant that should be used. 2. Take care with the direction of strokes. With fine hard stones such as Arkansas or alumina ceramic, etc., one should stroke against the edge, as if the edge were trying to shave the stone - this is to avoid forming a burr. With water stones and leather strops, stroke with the edge to avoid cutting the softer abrasive surface.
It's amazing how many people waste time on things that are so simple to do and even more so at risk of an accident when making this movement of their hand against a sharp knife blade.
I love looking at amateurs experimenting with a slight degree of success, save yourself the time and learn to sharpen the knife by hand. So much more rewarding.
Couldn’t agree more!
Thank you for watching
A visit to Japan would be good for a good sharp knife
Yep.
He is sharpening by hand. Notice the hand holding the stone and moving it across the blade. Definition of by hand.
I've been a butcher for 30 years and have never needed a contraption like this a belt grinder and a high quality steel is all I've ever needed to keep all my blades like razors..
At home i struggle to keep knives sharpe. I have a sharpening steel, but seeing your "high quality" remark, its dawned on me that mine might be passed its best. It looks great quality, proper wooden handle, very heavy, proper steel, but its getting too smooth i guess. I Inherited it with many things. You know, "that looks too good to throw away" etc. How can i tell if the sharpening steel is high quality, taking into account i'm probably ordering online and your cant always trust reviews. Is there a brand to look for? Above all others, its a butcher i will listen to. You also mention belt grinder.
Where can we see an example of someone sharpening with this method?
@hullster9970 I recommend a steel with diamond coat made by Henkels. I've had mine since 1995. Plus Kasco makes the best cutlery grinder I've ever seen. Just be very gentle with it. Bring your edge back and put a bevel on before building your point.
Its probably for the rest of us who do not have 30 years of experience sharpening knives?
And when I was at college, I had a butcher. Thanks Andy, from Smith’s Butcher’s in Liverpool, 50 years ago!
The time needed for preparing this tool is longer than the time I usually need for stone sharpening my knives and razors

@@creationholic101 Not if it is as dull as the knife you first showed.
If you are able to keep your knife at the right angle while sharpening all well and good but most of us cannot or me this is great anyway you spen time only once doing this device great job mate thanks
@@creationholic101it takes less than a minute on a stone as well..
@@creationholic101 THE QUESTION IS: HOW MANY KNIVES DO YOU HAVE?
Excellent idea. The angle is important.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful
Hi guys! Cool idea, but WD-40 is a penetrating oil and is made to penetrate metal. It penetrates into rusty bolts and makes them easier to remove. But it stays in the metal. So even after you wipe it off, it is still in the metal. And if you then use that knife on your food, you’re poisoning yourself and your family. Read the warning label. Or just buy a can and experiment by shooting it into your mouth. See how you feel after. That would be an accelerated experiment, but just using that knife will give you trace amounts in your body. Any chef can tell you that it would be better to use olive oils or something else non-toxic. Also once WD-40 is used on your sharpening stone, you should never use it on a kitchen knife again because the toxic oil is so far onto the pours of the stone. Please be careful. . . Best wishes to you all.
Great idea, Lansky sells a knife sharpener based on exactly those principles. You could always use an old leather belt fastened in a bench vice for the final polish to the blade!
Thank you! Cheers!
It's a viSe, not a viCe.
@@jeanpanaccio4484 Why thank you kind Sir for the correction to my error!
@@jeanpanaccio4484 In the UK the term Vice is used by most makers, suppliers and users. So Herbert was correct.
I have the Lansky kit and it works great. If you can't afford it and have the materials shown here, it is an alternative. "Razor sharp" though, still is only possible with care and craftsmanship.
Yes sir, that indeed is sharp, well done.
Amazing amount of work to simply avoid common sharpening techniques.
Thank you very much!
"common sharpening techniques" ....you mean like maintaining a perfectly consistent angle as you sharpen a blade? Seems to me like that was the entire point of making this simple inexpensive sharpening jig. Try to restrict yourself to only talking about things you know something about....which probably isn't very much.
@@botchvinik8668 Thank you for the comment on my observation. You definitely proved my point. Stick to jigs.
@@botchvinik8668 more people agree with "@maker" than you! Maybe they see another point of view and you don't?

One of my pet hates: countersink screws in non-countersink holes.
Me too but I do recognize that he is trying to get the smaller washer to self center. Should have used a washer with small hole but large diameter instead of two loose fitting washers, though they are not easy to find at the local HW store.
Mine too!
@@Trashed20659he does the same in the fixed bracket. I admit there is an element of self-centring, but positioning of the bracket isn’t that critical, and it looks very amateurish.
@@Trashed20659 FENDER WASHERS
@@Trashed20659 Called 'fender washers' widely available
the screws will destroy the holes in the wood plate after few times so i suggest to replace with screws for metal and glue nuts to the bottom
Hello! thanks for your comment. Wish you all the best!
Threaded Inserts
Straightforward technique that mimics a couple of commercial sharpening systems that work the same way, the one difference here being the absence of a way to shield yourself from coming into contact with the blade accidentally. So watch your grip!
Watching his fingers going to and fro towards the blade made me cringe. A strip of wood, to replace the bracket with a hole, would have allowed him to work far more safely from the other side, along with keeping the stone square to the blade. I also expected the whole lot to go flying off the table. LOL
Yep! nice idea, but the safety is off.....someday you will really fell the result of the sharp blade 😬
Yeah it did look like one of the commercial units available, but this one is super cheap with is an added bonus.
Hello! thanks for your comment. Wish you all the best!
Good job! Now that you've made your sharpener, It will be Much faster to sharpen knives in the future!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
That's a really good idea but can I ask when you finished drilling the hole was your drill bit sharper?
lol
I like the idea but that is a whetstone not an oil stone. You should spray it down with water not WD40. You will ruin the stone.
Can you talk more about this?
Please elaborate on this?
@@krielkip There are different types of stone - an oil stone and a wet stone being two examples. A wet stone should be placed in a bowl of water to completely soak it, usually around 10 to 15 minutes, and can then be used to sharpen a knife, wetting it every so often through the process. Using oil on a wet stone will eventually clog it up, rendering it a lot less effective, if not useless.
@@delboy1727 Thanks for the info!
👍
Mt grandad used a scythe to cut grass. He carried a stone to sharpen it frequently. He said stroke the blade one direction each side. Never rub a stone up and down a blade. I use his advice as he was a countryman. Born 1967 in fact died 1955. I am 76 only but my mother was 42 when I was born so that is how I came to know him doing jobs.
Born 1967, died 1955??? Creepy
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Have a good day!

Personally, I prefer to strop the blade after every use, so it does not get dull. Sometimes you do need to use the wet stone.
Good device you made! Only thing is that it takes up more space, and I enjoy learning how to sharpen a knife on a whetstone the strict japaneese way personally. You also need a stone to make the whetstone flat every now and then, i dont have that yet tho, but going to buy one and keep sharpening knifes, its kinda fun.
Thank you! Cheers!
why on earth woulod people sharpen the blade wrong way and cut the wrong way :D if u get it sharp and do that, u will injure yourself for sure :(
Wow u built and sharpened all that under 1 minute?? Wow your awesome

2 Points for you SaVaGe-187... 1.) It clearly states, sharpen your knife in under a minute. It does not say built this and sharpen your knife in under a minute. Therefore, he shows how to build it and THEN shows you how to sharpen a knife, in under a minute. 2.) So as not to look like a moron when you comment, learn grammar! Especially, when to use the word Your, and You're. Two very different word meanings, and as expected from you, you used the wrong one, pal!
@@lucianphotography7240 Even then , it certainly takes more than 1 minute to sharpen the knife , 'pal '.
Q. What kind of person would build this? A. Someone with waaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.
Perefektny napad ako udrzat presny uhol pri bruseni,co je velmi dolezite! Vdaka moc za tipa!

NEVER clamp a whetstone in a metal vice ---directly --use cloth or leather padding to protect the stone from cracking !

@@SaVaGe-187 You are repeating yourself and showing your ignorance. You already posted this above, again pointing out to us, your poor understanding of basic grammar. You clearly don't know when to use the word Your and You're. Plus, you clearly don't know how to understand what you read. He states, build this, THEN sharpen a knife in under a minute. Everyone else here, understood what was written.

Cool! I can see some improvement by using two bolts and wing nuts in place of the screws so you don’t need to tighten the screws with a screwdriver every time.
Thank you! Cheers!
Well, that was 9 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Those pivoting handle sharpeners are good. But if you just need to cut tomatoes for regular home cooking or anything, then those 'accusharp' (or clone, equivalent) portable sharpeners are amazing. 30 seconds or so, and you're done.
Als Werkzeugmacher sage ich: Grundsätzlich gute Idee, aber: Den Stein NIEMALS vor und zurück bewegen (dabei entsteht ein kleiner Grat ohne Standfestigkeit), sondern IMMER nur gegen die Schneide, genau wie eine Feile (deswegen nennen wir den in diesem Falle improvisierten Ölstein auch Schleif-Feile). Dann hat man eine saubere, standfeste Fase und spart sich die weiteren Arbeitsgänge.
Hello! thanks for your comment. Wish you all the best!
I'm not building all this just to sharpen a knife.
By the time he made that third cut on the paper on the beginning of the vid I already have my knife sharpened on a regular sharpener 😂
First, use a great steel for your knife. Crucible 90 is great.
What a Muppet using a wetstone with wd40 water repellant lubricant 🤦♂️

He could have learned free hand sharpening in the same amount of time given he already has the stone.
My technique wasn't good, so I created it
@BiscuitK... Not really, most people would never learn that quickly and most people would NEVER be as consistent with their angle on the knife blade, doing the sharpening free hand, as they would be, using this device.

I applaud your ingenuity However, I think you have just reinvented the wheel.
For what he spent on all of the individual components combined he could have just bought a knife sharpening kit that functions essentially the same way, but is much safer to use.
I take advantage of what is available around me
can't see why you just don't do it by hand? like thats the ways it been done for 1000's of years without issue? honestly your struggling with the screwdriver and considering the fact you could do serious damage with your method and direction of sanding id invest in Kevlar gloves if i was you!
First of all, he IS doing it by hand - he’s simply fixing the angle to make it more repeatable and efficient. Second - the crank powered grindstone has been in use since the 14th century… Fixed angle jigs of all kinds have been used for centuries to get consistent edges on everything from swords to scissors. Japanese style sharpening is not the only method that’s been around forever - humans have been like applying mechanics to grinding/sharpening since the Middle Ages.
If you want a straight true edge, this is how it is done!
My technique wasn't great, so I created it
So, a sharpened knife cuts better. Good job!
