How To Sharpen a Kitchen Knife - Beginner's Guide to Knife Sharpening

You add baking soda in the water for that carbon steel type of knife otherwise you get rust while sharpening so adding baking soda is preventing the rust of course you should re move water immediately your knife after sharpening

I... LOVE... THIS ... Thank you!

Practice makes permanent.

Unexpectedly, the "knife sharpener" made in China is only $12.4 on the Chinese online sales platform, and the fixed-angle sharpening guide is only $0.81, but it can sharpen such a sharp blade.

When you cut your thumb off its sharp enough 👌

Love the spaghetti western music. I can feel Clints presence as you pull the blade across your thumb nail 😅😅😅🤠

basically a self harm video. no but really, very helpful thanks.

This video and background music combined to make the pen knife i was sharpening feel like i was a cowboy sharpening a japanese katana in texas in 19th century

I could have sharpened over 30 knives in the time it took to watch this video. 20 seconds per knife). I use the tip of a nail to feel for nicks and burrs to save my manicure. I use thin, crisp paper to determine sharpness. Good video, 2 thumbs up!

How many finger nails left after sharpening half dozen knives 😁

Excellent...I now fel equipped to have a Tombstone "knife fight".. LOL.

I think the image of “finger or finger nail test “is kind of horrifying and may I say….not so smart.
Since it’s not explained in detail and only mentioned “don’t worry the nail will grow back”(the cutting mark one this guy’s nail is so clear).
Wondering if some amateurs would simply cut their fingers or nails or even someone around happens to bump into you that some tragic thing happens.

In my opinon the music is only a distraction to a very good voice over and video!

That nail yes...no can do! I cannot even watch or listen to the description of it! 😬😆

Where do you purchase angle clips from, I know you’re in another country from me, but maybe you can give me a website possibly,or can I purchase from you, many thanks,look forward to reply , love your videos excellent,Cheers 👍👍👍.

The carrot-tongue sharpness test is something new for me, after watching a lot of sharpening videos!
And the fact that the nail test doesn't have to "catch" when the knife is sharp (only if there is a burr) is also new to me, although i saw the nail test before - I understood it wrong up until seeing this video. Thanks!

L

I had to close my eyes during the nail test. Each test lmao

Unbelievable the best sharpening I have ever seen

Great video ❤

I watched the global knife tutorial for whetstone. If I thought that was informational well then damnit, this is a history lesson. Thank you so much.

Wonder why a knife from space-age powdered steel needs to look like a stone-age hatchet. And that nail test is nothing but cringe worthy. Use a sharpy or the like, please!

Have a question I bought a whetstone ket it says to soak grit 400/1000 but to never soak any grit over 3000 am I still supposed to wet the 3k stone down ?

I was waiting for Clint Eastwood to show up. Very disappointed...

How many stroke you do with 1000 g each side

But isn't a Waterstone too soft for knifes above 60 hcr? I've heard only diamond stones would sharpen them

Excellent ☺️ I am 70years old and finally a good fantastic 📷 video

At the end
'Practice makes perfect.
A nice tutorial.
Thank you.

Thanks

I needed a pure quality-made hunting knife for my grandfather as he is a hunting lover.
I got the knife and thought that the knife was just amazing. Grandfather also liked it very much and he said it cuts smoothly and perfectly. I will buy one more for my father. I bought it from Almazan Knives.

Cut you nail off to proof the blad is sharp? Don't kill yourself to proof your knife is super sharp.

WHY DO PEOPLE MAKING VIDEOS, MANY OF THEM ALWAYS PLAY DISRUPTIVE MUSIC. THAT IS WHY I GAVE THIS VIDEO A THUMBS ( DOWN )!!!!

The fingernail test got me cringing everytime

Hello Sir, where did you get your case? The whote case where you have your stone. I looked on the website and didn't find it there.

I don't see the wooden container with plastic tub on your website.

wow 3 years late

thanks, apart from the bloody music

What a great video, i'm a total newbie when it comes to sharpening & this has made me feel a lot more confident about things ☺

Oh man, that fingernail tests makes me cringe so bad

That nail test looks horrible.

Brutalan video brate. 👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

The nail test works well with dull knifes but when you have a hair splitting edge you will cut trough your nail easily the paper test is way better and safer to determine sharpness

👍👍

This music makes me think you are sharpening a Hatori Honzo sword.

👏👏👏👏

Great video. Where's the next stage guide?

my Bunka ZDP 189 is on its way to me, so I have a feeling I will be coming back to this video a lot :) thanks! :)

What is the difference between a whetstone and an oil stone?
