  • I've watched a number of knife sharpening videos to figure out how to do it right. This video is the best hands down. Tells you everything you need to know on how to sharpen with a whetstone and why. Comprehensive yet concise. Excellent work. Save yourself a ton of time looking at other videos and just watch this. I have no affiliation to knifewear. I'm just genuinely impressed. What I have learned over months of studying and practicing was explained perfectly in this one video.

    • I was about to mention that. Also... Almost all knives taper toward the tip so if you follow that height against the spine at the tip it would end up dull as an axe at the end of all of your knives, even if it worked perfectly at first. Personally I stick two quarters on the top of the stone and then when I bump into them and they make a slant I just let it be. Once the knife becomes close enough to the angle you wanted, it will reward you like a 5-minute alarm bell telling you that you're almost done with the rough grit anyway.

  • I was gifted a used knife set; one of those that comes in a block. Most knives seemed fine, except for the chef’s knife; which is extremely dull and had a jagged edge. I bought a wet stone set (1000/6000) and was able to reduce the jagged edge. But the knife was still very much dull. Of all the videos I’ve seen this one has been the most informative and now I know what I did wrong. So thank you for putting out this content. I really needed the step by step. Awesome video!!

  • That was a great episode, I dont have a 220 grit as i believe that my knives are not totally dull. I have a 4000 and a 8000 which address's my attention span and just to tighten up the edge on my Masakage knives, i have several as i dont want to be doing this all day. The ceramic rod showed me that I have been doing it right. The clip interesting as i never know if i have a consistant angle as it seems to change, ( body language) I use the nickel approach, you also told me a bit of info on stropping which i was unsure of ie(leather side vs swede side) thanks

  • Very good tutorial. Thanks. You could also get into the question of whether to sharpen your knife toward the blade, away from the blade, or both, as you do. I've seen videos (and my own experience) which shows that putting pressure on the knife as you pull away from the blade and releasing finger pressure while pushing it blade first (as if you were slicing the stone) produces burr more quickly than the back & forth method or blade first method. It's also kinder to soak stones, taking longer to dish the stone. You also might talk about Splash & Go ceramic stones. I have soak stones in 240, 1000 & 5000 grit, ceramic Shapton ceramicss in similar ranges (with 8000 for my Japanese hard-steel & one-side-bevel knives at 14 or 13 degrees) grit &, more recently, I tend to use 400 & 1200 diamond stones before stropping. That is a good combination for beginners because it uses no water, can be used pushing blade-forward or pulling back & isn't going to need a truing stone. I don't like the ceramic rod, so I use either a fine grit green compound on the rough side of the strop or extra fine grit (either black or white, depending on the manufacturer, usually white) as a polisher. Lately I've changed to diamond-infused extra-fine compound with a finish strop on the clean smooth leather. BTW, if you don't want to buy a new strop every time you decide to change compounds, mineral spirits are the best for removing all of the compound so you don't contaminate the new compound's grit from leftover older compound). You can whittle a hair with my Henckel & Japanese kitchen knives & my favorite folders. I totally agree that freehand sharpening is a Zen meditative experience & if you are a knife fancier, brings you a closer bond to your steel. One non-assist way to easily find the angle of the edge is to lay the knife flat & begin to lift the spine, watching the edge. When there is no longer any clearance between the edge and the stone you are at the angle it was set at by the factory (or by your re-profiling). You can see it and feel it when you hit the right angle. I always put on light pressure when sliding the blade spine-first and let off the pressure when I slide the knife blade-first (a holdover from using softer soak stones that dish or gouge too easily).

But in the past I was pressing down to hard so I was not feeling it right. I was also going to fast. When I watched your video and you talked about going slow and not moving your wrist, the light went on! Sounds stupid, But I kind of zoned out and went really slow, light pressure and let my fingers feel. WOW! What a difference. Thank you again for this video.

    • It’s hard to make a dramatic convex edge on a stone. I think a slight convex is natural when freehand sharpening. The convex edge that a lot of makers are known for is made by using a compliant abrasive, like a belt, or even sandpaper on foam.

    • @@riog4113 I use the sand paper on foam and strop a lot, only go to stones when really necessary. I can see how it would be done using a rotating stone like a tomek or something but would love to see it done on a flat stone.

  • Thank you for this. I found this video very good at explaining the process. Simple, succinct and easy to follow. I’m still a newbie, and I don’t sharpen my knives that often, so I feel I’m starting over each time… This video was very helpful. 🇨🇦

  • Awesome video, very easy to approach! Your way of deburring with an edge leading stroke is really effective for finishing on a medium stone! If there's anything that I can add to this is that a ceramic rod isn't really necessary to deburr or strop if you don't already have one and you can honestly use almost anything from your jeans to a roll of newspaper to a tightly pulled towel to cork to the rough side of a non-scratch sponge or even the palm of your hand (this can be a bit dangerous if you're not experienced)

  • First, a GREAT video. Thanks for a great tutorial, and a commonsense approach. I had to freehand the angle since I didn't have any guides, and didn't heed your warning about protecting my thumbs -- regretting that now. I did okay, but I'm not comfortable that I did a very good job of keeping the angle constant. I'll probably but into some of the guides you suggested. Anyway, thanks again!

  • Very helpful tutorial! Question: should I try to sharpen the knife to the angle that was shipped and specified by the manufacturer? I have some Western-style and hybrid knives shipped with 15 degree angles and even one that says it left the factory at 12 degrees.

    • Great question! It's totally personal preference. Generally softer steels hold a 20ish degree edge better while harder steels can hold a 15 degree or finer edge, so it just depends on the balance of sharpness v.s. durability that you prefer!

  • how many movements would you do before it makes sense to start looking for that burr? All of these videos are edited so I have no idea whether this takes about 20 strokes or 5min of constant grinding
