    People may have already seen posts by me concerning sharpening kitchen and hunting knives. I've written a few tutorial type things to try and help people get the most from their kit.

    Recently I was sent a few kitchen knives to sharpen for a member of Boards.ie :D

    A nice set of knives, well looked after and not chipped or scratched up on a grinder :mad:

    They were however pretty blunt, like edge of a ruler blunt! It took a little bit of time on the very coarse diamond (150) which I hardly ever have to break out. I got the bevels remade though and after that the sharpening went well.

    I made a little before and after video to show a little of what I try to achieve in a kitchen knife. Any questions I am happy to try and help out, thanks for watching.

    You will be much happier using the oilstones you do the chisels on!

    Have you tried the Scary Sharp method for chisels? Although there is some debate that the convexing from hand sharpening on stones helps older chisels cut better than new flat chisels?



    Anyways, next video from this set, showing Edge Pro in action, some stropping, some tips on maintaining your steel and some paper gets cut! Oh yes indeed, it's all going on!

    (I'm sad and obsessive, luckily, that's what makes me happy! :D )

    We're runnning this, let's go!
