Great vid as usual Cody.
I used to use painters tape, (Blue, Green, Black, Red) and packing tape. I don't use any of those any longer. I have discovered Hockey Tape is the best of the lot. No residue, resistant to water, removes easily, and tough to scratch up.
I also put Hockey Tape on my blade table instead of painters tape. This is the real test that proves Hockey Tape is, without a doubt in my opinion, the tape to use.
Great suggestion. Now I have some more ideas to experiment with.
Thank you for sharing this.
Great tips Cody. My #4 kit is on its way from our Canadian outlet in Quebec --- along with the magnet and guide.
Cody A+ on this one. The tips for this vid go a lot farther then your previous ones. The half stone tip is something that Solves a problem I’ve wrestled with. Keeping the knife in one place also is a help for me. Dude this video series has gone up a level bud.
Thanks! I'll do my best to keep em coming!
Edge Pro Inc. I’ll keep sending them in if ya want.
I use the packing tape from USPS.
I hang it off the edge at first, then cut to match the knife profile, pull the tape off and slide it up to just past the bevel.
Then cut along the spine, and do the other side.
Sometimes I'll leave some at the spine to wrap over to protect the spine from getting scratched too.
Love your work with the angle cube, Cody. Especially to quantify the angle difference up to the tip. Hot Tip!
Thanks Matthew! Hope all is well.
Hello to Edge Pro ! Tell me please for what angle sharp camp and/or hunting knife for beginner. I’m just your sharpening system as my birthday gift and very happy for that !
These videos are really amazing, Cody. Well done.
Thanks a lot!
@@EdgePro you're welcome my fam.
Great video and the edge came out very nice!
Thanks!
Hey Cody this is Chad. Great video thanks for the great tips. Looking forward to my new goodies😁
Hi Chad, Let me know how the DIY install goes!
Excellent video 📹
Thank you very much!
Hey Cody. Could you show us how to sharpen knives with really concave edges? Like hawk bill or hookbill knives?
A narrow stone progression would be interesting...
Nice 😊🤘
I have used both, but have moved toward packing tape. It stays on better, especially if you are stepping up through many levels of stones/tape.
Warren, I totally hear ya. It definitely stays on better.
Great video Cody!! I see the regular stones work well for that little recurve in the middle of the blade. It’s good to know! Whenever I come across a recurve, I automatically grab the narrow stones, no matter how deep it is. The recurve on this knife appears to be fairly shallow.
Brad, Yes it was extremely shallow. I hardly even noticed it. I avoid the 1/2" stones as much as I can because I feel like they wear much faster.
I probably would have jumped right to the skinny stones too, good call.
Try the FROGTAPE painters tape, works better as doesn't break down with the water saturation issues.
Wheres the paper sharpness test? Or the arm hair shaving?
I use the high heat tape from Cerakote, it is unaffected by water and dose not leave a residue
Definitely gonna try that out
Wow, that looks incredible. Nice job, Cody! Can I send you my bucks, lol?
Do a video on Sharpening a hard steal like m4
ScotchBlue Painter's Tape for Exterior Surfaces #2097 is the best of both worlds.
The tape is plastic and waterproof. Unlike packing tape, it is easy to remove and never leaves sticky residue.
I will be looking in to this as well. I think a customer sent me a knife one time with it already taped and had this stuff on it but I didn't know what it was.
Hey Cody I was wondering if you could do a video on ceramic knives ? I recently bought a hand full of your diamond matrix stones and it showed you can sharpen with them. Also if you could do one on serrated knives thanks! Cheers!
Howdy, sharpening ceramic knives is much different. They don't feel sharp -even when they are. And they do not develop burrs like steel does. You will need diamond stones to sharpen them as well, aluminum oxide & silicon carbide stones don't work on them. As for doing a video on them - great suggestion! I'm hoping to have time to film some more videos in the near future so I'll see if I can get my hands on a ceramic knife.
Packing tape works extremely well for me. I always use lots of water so the painter's tape doesn't last long.
Yeah, when I use painters tape I have to be careful not to get carried away with the water. And I wipe the table off frequently.
I use painters tape since it’s easier to cut and get to follow the edge. Packing is harder to get to follow the edge
Agreed, - A customer shared a pretty cool trick me awhile ago for cutting packing tape to fit your knife. First he lays the cutting tape down on a plastic cutting board, then traces the knife with a marker, then scores the tape and it fits the knife like a glove. I tried it once and it worked pretty good.
Edge Pro Inc. now that’s a game changer.
I have both painters and packing tape. I’ve found painters tape is a little easier to apply and get to sharpening quicker. Packing tape definitely offers a little more protection though...
Agreed. One time I used packing tape, and it left a strange discoloration on the blade . . . ever since then I've been a little hesitant to use it. But I've never heard of anyone else that happened to.
Can you do a video on keeping bevel even along the whole length of the blade. I constantly run into this problem when you get close to tip. I’m not sure I get your explanation in this video.
Charles, I go over this a little bit more in the Boker Kalashnikov video. But I'll try to keep touching on the subject.
Newbie here and this may seem like a dumb question but I thought the instructions said to move the knife (tip) over so that the stone always is sharpening over the table. I assume this is an exception to that rule. Any guidence for me on when to do that and when not to?
Shaun - good question. If the knife is stiff enough you can center the knife on the table and sharpen the whole thing (as long as the knife isn't too long). But if it is flexible (most kitchen knives) then I'd draw the knife across the table.
Do you putt the Stones into the Water
The Edge Pro stones, do not require soaking. Just splash and go. However, there are some aftermarket stones that do require soaking - just not ours.
I use painters tape because I can't see the packing tape 🤣
I use electrical tape. But that's usually because I have a lot of it laying around.
I'll try it. I have lots of it laying around too.
You try the electrical tape?
Very nice. Wanna sharpen my reaper?
Ken I'm a bit overwhelmed with projects at the moment. Maybe another time.
i use my seaman to coat the blade
