My basic theory on water stone sharpening.

- The bevel moves on the stone along the large arch. Therefore the each side bevel takes a bit different geometry. This difference works positively both for bushcraft and for hunting.

Love that knife.
I have been sharpening using both hands recently, my right hand for the left bevel and vise versa for that very reason. The result is a more uniform bevel on both sides and I like to see the spine of the knfe while sharpening. That gives me a better estimation of the angle. It was (and still is somewhat) awkward for the left hand at first but I don't mind learning new skills. Thanks for posting this! Andy
That grind is good for carving and cutting, but beware of batoning and chopping since the highest grind side will take more stress and you can bend the knife towards it.
After finding your video instructionals and understanding your knife edge theory thoroughly I reprofiled my BHK Custom Bushcrafter. I have to say that the result has been quite amazing and has made it a much, much better knife. Thank you very much!
All of your videos are very informative. Your english is also excellent.
Thankyou for posting :)
Very interesting theory Wako my friend. God bless. John
You videos are great :)
Great insight, thank you for sharing!
Interesting observation. Thank you.
"It is mine as well" thanks. I know you have turned me on to this many many videos ago.
Thx for your Insights !!!
Hey Virtuovice, I'm a fellow knife enthusiast and I find your technique very interesting but even more interesting is the second blade you demonstrate with, the short straight edged blade. Where would I obtain one of these?
Yes. But I think lefty people will make left-handed-use knives as well with water stones. Thanks.
My D2 Badger didn't chip against deer dressing. My CPM-D2 Highland Special didn't chip either. And this D2 Camper didn't chip. D2 is much harder than A2. Harder steels are more prone to chipping than A2. I have finished 3V endurance tests and confirmed 3V is at least 3 times more durable than A2 and not so chippy. I need to do the same test on my D2 Badger. In convex geometry D2 seems much tougher than expected. Thanks.
You should go into the knife sharpening business because, I sent my knives to cold steel and they pretty much suck at sharpening
Interesting.
True but i switch hands when working edge in to avoid cutting myself as to get a steeper edge on both sides...i guess im wierd like that lol
All my edges are slightly different on the opposite sides. I think everyone who sharpens by hand has this issue.
Hello! Do you know of any D2 fixed blades that cost under or around $100?
what would you recommend for sharpening a d2 fixed blade knife? I recently purchased one, its my first D2 knife with a scandi grind
Chip restoration on the Scandi grind is a nightmare and hope it not take the chips. Anyway I recommend Shapton Ha-no-kuromaku (Pro) 1k, 2k, 5k grits to sharpen any kinds of the steels. Thanks.
Can I send a homemade 1095 homemade knife so you can sharpen it?
So basically you have made your knives into right-handed-use knives.
From Toyokuni company Japan. They take PayPal and ship overseas. If you need it, I made some videos of it recently and please take a look. And after watching them you still need it, please give me a personal message. I will let you know how to order it from Japan.

You are the antibore! This is science... not theory!
