And costs about $5

Up to the quality of the steel / blade .

😂😂

As a metalworker its actually smart but only when you have no other choices. Of course the best for the knives a professional knifesharpener but its fun to watch what you could do😎

Justin I'm 73 yrs old my hands are beat from 45yrs of work and long hrs. This work will for me a get a perfect edge every time razor sharp plus it's very fast. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was a chef for 45 yrs. 1st they are going to get someone hurt the drill is turning toward the person sharpening and if the knife binds up knife is going to come back at them very dangerous. 2nd to add to what you said they are ruining the knife I use a hand fixed angle wet stone sharpening system 17° feel for burs buff the edge with a compound on leather stoup to polish the edge. No one should do what this person is showing.

I was a butcher for twenty years all he or she is doing is scraping and scratching the sides of the nife youse a oil block and a good steel

@Heisenberg 1271surely that didn’t fly past you

There is, I have one, I have 2, one is a whetstone, the other I bought in Japan, the one from Japan has 3 very small sets of small rotary grinding wheels, very simple to use, 3 stages, the angles are correct and it takes less than a minute to pull it out of my drawer and sharpen a knife correctly,

I don't know a great deal about sharpening knives but that folk I've watched in the past (admittedly using stones or leathers) always used a lubricant, oil or water to refine I'm sure?

I too own knives

I prefer to call it the perfect grind rather then sharpen.

@CapFlipGaming I agree, but it’s good when videos like this bring people to the comment section that know about the topic and are able to guide others in the right direction

Ayeee matey! Thar be thy reason i wears me patch!

@Buddy Santoso I totally agree with you, (if I wanted to kill a good knife).

Yeah, what about eye protection? Some of these "Quickie" tips can be dangerous to some of Our readers. Get a little more professional in your Videos, think of us people before you think of "I'll get so many views, I'm making 🤑💰🙏 Money".

@Richardson Hall Outdoors yeah he probably stole his knife sharpener

If you are luckily will hit the neighbor that keeps borrowing tools and never gives them back.

Hahahah

Peter do you use compound or nothing

​@Joshua Kelly You got in before me. If you want the edge prettier just make sure it's a good tight crease.

Most good sand paper only needs a good crease and can be torn very cleanly anyhow. Most the time you don't even need a knife

i cringed hard watching that. good thing they built that sharpening system; they're going to need it for those scissors.

A cheap knife sharpener is infinity better than any of these method in both speed and results

*honing steel

I'd use it dull before I'd do any of this garbage

Yeah but who has all this lying around in an emergency and why would you be in that emergency 😂😂😂😂

XD that's what I was thinking. These methods are just ruining the knives. Even if you're someone who doesn't want to use a wetstone because you have low quality knives anyways, a cheap knife sharpener would be infinity better than anything shown in this video

@Kayla Slusser it works...but dulls quickly

@Steven Malone FUN FACT: A tampon is a fuse for a bomb. I'll probably wind up on the feminist watch list now too 😂

I hope this guy is on the FBI and TSA watch list.

@Instant Karma I don't understand your question but if I was one of those parents, let's say from the Moscow Idaho murders, and had to sit in court watching the person who brutally murdered my daughter then that could be an option

@Justin Nourse you can make a shiv out of anything if you’re desperate enough

It doesn't really matter which way you sharpen.

I think so too...🤔🤔

Please don't! Just don't...those can be extremely dangerous. I work construction and am in fear for the people who have watched this...

No it took all 4 to fix the damage from the last 🤣

@Tom Chaton HA! nice.

No, none of the methods sharpened it.

No.

@Pizzle Rot and the money that was spent on buying all of this mess you could just buy a simple 2-edge stone.. Lol.. Yep pure Doo Doo

@Pizzle Rot Lol.. Oh Yeah... I agree with you 100%.. and using the lighter as a grinding wheel had me lmao .. I just answered was it the same knife.. Now the upside down cup, as long as it was ceramic then that would work.. But only for finishing..

@TheBald1 the last one clearly had an actual factory-set bevel that it just magically cuts to after a few runs on the lighter (which is legitimately one of the dumbest things I've ever seen), so it's definitely staged. Even if you could get something resembling a sharp edge with what appears to be a grinding wheel, emory pad, porcelain, and lighter wheel (???), you wouldn't end up with a uniformly shaped bevel like you see at the end. Something like that has to be set using the correct angle (depends on the knife but usually in the 20-25° ballpark) at the initial grinding stage (followed by progressive sharpening on way more than just an emory pad and porcelain), and the one in the video looked like it was set on machinery (ie at the factory) - it definitely doesn't happen just from sticking the knife in between two grinding wheels 🤣... There are plenty of other red flags here, but it's honestly too much to get into, and the upshot is that this video is 100% grade A doo-doo buttah 💩💩💩

@live4thehunt today or one of those convenient kitchen sharpener blocks. I've got one with three slots- one is a very low grit stone, the second is basically a knife that sharpens the knife, and the third l one is porcelain - which is the equivalent of about 1,000 grit. I've spent hours trying to sharpen carbon steel and Japanese knives with whetstone, with quite a few different grits, but I just can't beat the gimmicky cheat.

Just buy a knife sharpening stone. Typically are 2 phases. No need for most of these ineffective silly things

That's near the hilt ?

Sandpaper and the bottom of a mug certainly will make a knife 'razor sharp' (cutting arm hair, but most people just call any sharp knife razor sharp.) I've personally used random river rocks to make one of my knives actually facial hair shaving sharp. If you know what you're doing, you can use pretty much anything to get a sharp edge.
