Doesn't need to be that expensive though, something like a Victorinox will take a great edge and hold it for a good amount of time for $20-30.

  • Suggestion: cut gloves. For those of you genuinely interested in learning to sharpen your own knives by hand or just to practice your knife skills, I would recommend investing in a cut glove. As the name implies, they are reusable gloves (usually made from kevlar, stainless steel chainmail, fabric, or a combination of the above) worn on the off-hand (the one holding still the item you are cutting) that greatly reduce the risk of slicing your hand. I personally prefer the chainmail version, as it allows for a significantly greater degree of freedom of movement. They are quite commonplace throughout the foodservice industry; usually less so in restaurants with trained chefs and more so in casual foodservice locations. Naturally, they tend to vary in price (usually $10-$80 USD) depending on your material choice and production quality. While they aren't perfect (they won't protect you from poking yourself with a knife), they offer significant protection as you hone your skills and confidence using knives.

    • ​@@nanashivii9237 it depends on the stone, a 220 stone might be slow cutting enough to be useful to create an edge, you really need something super aggressive for damaged knives, i often see 120 or 140, the atoma diamond plate stands out for how aggressive it is. it depends on the size of chips, like you can take out a 1 mm deep chip on a 220 grit stone, but there have been videos with like 5 mm massive chips, and those are gonna require something a lot more. i would personally start with like 600grit and then 1200 grit and then strop it. it's super simple and your knife sharpness is mostly determined by how good your technique is and your strop. you can get it razor sharp easily if you have good technique and a strop with pretty much any sharpening stone. (i would say polishing stones don't really count but like it's obvious super fine stones won't work) you can even use a rock to sharpen your knife, check out burrfections video on it. it's super interesting.

    • @@BloodSprite-tan Agreed, although it's often a fool's errand to take larger chips out with a stone itself. If a knife is that badly damaged, it's usually more efficient to just grind it out with a belt sander and then create a new edge with the stones. I personally cycle through 400/1000/3000 then leather strop. As you say, stropping is what makes all the difference, and though I do sometimes use higher grit polishing stones, they're more often than not requested for aesthetic merit rather than being functionally superior.

    • @CahaLLo I guess two things come to mind. Firstly a clean polished edge is more for a press type cut, straight direction with no side to side, then you would have an unpolished blade think of that like serrations, with some side to side (sawing) motion the blade will cut much better. I'll try to find an example to link.

  • If you're not sure you're holding the angle right the whole way, here's something I learned in printmaking: you put sharpie marker on the blade near the edge, and then when you are sharpening, if any section has a different angle, you'll see it through a difference in if the sharpie is gone. Another tip, if you look directly at the edge of your blade and see shiny areas, those are the dullest sections. If you sharpen the blade and then look at the edge straight on, there should be no shiny sections.

I have used them with 3 sets of knives we got as wedding presents 40 years ago: 2 carbon (Sabatier & Chicago Cutlery) and 1 stainless (Mac). I am fond of my knives and stones, but how can I adapt? These stones are used to the oil already. Also, thanks for the hand placement & 2 quarter trick: That was all new to me. That's the big lesson already, so thanks again.

These are the best options for beginners because they don't cut too quickly, and give excellent "feedback" (smoothness of use) while sharpening. Check out Japanese Knife Imports Videos on sharpening or Korin's videos. Also check out on reddit r/chefknives for more tips to get started.

    • you want to flip the knife 1 time you sharpen the knife until you create a burr, then flip and sharpen the other side until you get a burr, and after that, you flip and just lightly clean the edge on both sides before switching stones. i personally only use 1 stone most of the time. you don't need too many. after that you use a strop, it's super helpful. even more than using a high grit polishing stone, and they are much cheaper than a high grit stone. it's usually not recommended to flip the knife multiple times, because it can lead to inconsistency in your angle. consistency is key. i personally using a 1000grit whetstone and a leather strop, a cheap one off amazon with green waxy polishing compound, they are all over, and super useful.

But tbh, I'm not even mad - first because you literally showed how a master sharpener does it, which is p. cool. But also because, though not the step by step instructions+ingredients list I was looking for, this works to set people up to look into this more on their own (like, I wouldn't have thought about the fact that you wouldn't want to use your lowest grit stone particularly often, or I wouldn't have thought of stone upkeep). Not to mention, you do have another knife sharpening video... Cool video - that store+Josh (heh heh) seem cool!
