How to sharpen knives so they are surgically sharp.....!!!!!

- Hi folks,
This is my method of how to sharpen knives at home for personal use or for professional use in the restaurant industry or for butchery industry.
I was a professional Tally boner for 6 Years in the meat works where we got paid by the number of sheep or beef we could bone out in a set day...!!
In my case as a tally sheep boner it was 110 sheep a day so the faster your crew and my self could bone out the sheep carcass, that meant you could finish work sooner and go home.
Most of the time is was 20 sheep an hour so that meant you finished in aground 6 hours work time a day.
So...To be able to work at that lightning speed ....!
" YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO KEEP YOUR KNIFE SHARP...!!!!
Only top knife hands could make the grade to be a Tally Bonner..!!
That is how I had to learn and understand how to sharpen a knife and to understand the edge concept on an knife, also how to keep it sharp by using a steel to rub the edge of the knife as to keep that sharp edge in the centre of the blade so it would stay sharp as long as It could before I would have to resharpen the knife edge.
Now remember...
You have a greater chance to cut yourself with a BLUNT KNIFE ...! Than a SHARP KNIFE...!!
Regards Tony... :-)

Most Excellent video , thank you for sharing ! I'll be turning my grinder around as soon as I get to the shop . Thanks again !
awsome
Thank You!!! I carry a stunning 440C chrome inlaid black wood handled everyday use knife in a gorgeous leather sheath on my hip. Recently, I brought home a beautiful extra-large chub of cured Italian dry salami to share with some friends and my girl. Well~ I pulled the dazzling dagger from my side, the glare from the blade caused temporary blindness as the room fell silent and for a fleeting moment I felt like a real Man. My hand moved the steel cutting edge onto the chub, I pressed in to cut slices but the salami coated with a thick white skin pushed back and I quickly changed my angle of attack which left deep dent-like creases with no penetration. To save face I began to position myself in attempt to hide that my knife that was dull. This caused me to turn red, sweat profusely and aggressively begin a sawing motion on the stick. When I came close to passing out, my incredible girlfriend, to save my dignity covertly slid next to me pulled out her pocket switch- blade and cut in to it like a deli meat slicer. That's what got me pointed in your direction. You're awesome for sharing your knowledge really appreciate you!!!
You are welcom
Well done brother , I am a retired butcher/ meat cutter 38 years , I miss the belt grinder but I did keep a nice 3 way wet stone to sharpen my knives .

Will be posting a new one soon..On using MDF wheel also. For honing..
Cheers Tony..
Will watch out for that as I'm into wood carving and need surgically sharp 1.5" short blades. Made a leather disk fixed to an upright hand drill plus bought a buffing wheel and Flexcut compound. Going by your vid, I don't think they're running fast enough though lol. I also use a leather Powerstrop wheel set up running like the buffer. Never seen the bur come up. Will try a magnifier over my specks! ATB from the UK.

Hi Mark Szymansky
I use to sharpen my knives on an oil stone..but this method is far quicker and easier..for me..Just wanted to share an alternative..
Cheers Tony.👍
Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night czcams.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.
Great..
Remember to press lightly as not to over heat the blade..
You can have a bucket 🪣 of water 💦 to keep the blade cool after a couple of passes on the belt.
Cheers
Excellent job, man..!!

Nice work. Great Aussie Abbott Ashby grinder, and I have the same one. I have had excellent results following your tips on some D2, N690co, K340 and Sleipner. D2 takes a bit more effort but comes up surgical sharp. Most important lesson as you pointed out is to get the burr, and a final strop to remove the burr.
Fantastic.. glad it help..

wow Antonio that is very fascinating and resonates with me you are a master of sharpening like the samurai Swordsman yes I do see the bird I see how you polished it off I see the white line. this may Amaze you but I am intimately familiar with all these procedures as a Sawyer and a hillside brush cutter for almost three decades in the San Francisco East Bay Area I have been cutting brush and Tall Weeds for fire safety and mitigating fire fuels with the Husqvarna brush cutter saw and chainsaws the brush cutter carries a 14 inch diameter three-point forged steel blade this blade can be sharpened in the field with a file or for best results I apply it to my bench grinder on the sandpaper paddle wheel and then buff The Edge out on the Cotton buffer wheel with Rouge and it provides a mirror finish and the edge last 10 times longer keep in mind the impact blade on the brush cutter is filed flat at the impact Point providing two cutting edges because it is an impact blade not a steak or vegetable knife and when I watched your video of you sharpening your knives with your two-stage process I recognize something very extra-ordinary and Sublime about you Tonio thank you and your partner Jon

I use a similar technique and it works beautifully for most applications. The only things I do differently are, I remove the burr with a leather belt on the belt grinder rather than a buff and I do a final polish of the apex on hardened, polished steel. I do no more than a few strokes with VERY little pressure and doing my best to control the angle so it's just a bit greater than what I've already done. Most people would be unable to feel the difference but I think someone as experienced as you are, will. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Edmond Dantez
Point taken mate..!
In the knife sharpening business you are always learning..
I made my own 2 inch wide MDF wheel now that I made with a new mantel attachment for the grinder.!!!! I get a fantastic finish now..
I even turn the old grinding belt inside out replace back on the grinder..!! then put a fine honing compound on..
The best strop belt you will ever get.. I have new videos to post.! Just have to get around to posting them on CZcams.

Mr. Tony, could you please provide more information on the buffing side of the machine? You have attached an arbor extension there, correct? What is the width and diameter of the buffing wheel? Can you make a suggestion on how to acquire one that thick with the right parameters, right setup? Also, you state in the video that your belt is 2,000 grit, but it appears from comments below that it is 350-grit...can you clarify which is correct, sir? Many, many thanks for an excellent video!!!
Anthony L. Rentz, PE
Hi Anthony.
The buffing wheel is. 6 inch in height and 1 1/2 inch wide..
I don't know where you live so I can't suggest where to get one..?
Yes the grit was 200 not 2000.
I now manly use a 350 grit belt..comes from China..!
Get any wear between 10 to 17 knives edges done depending on what hardness the metal that the knife is made from.( .I now have a mobile sharpening van now and mainly sharpen chefs knives at the restaurant were they work). ..!...If I try to persist doing any more knives..? You just don't cut a nice edge..
As I have suggested to someone else.. I supplied a link where they can buy one in Australia..
Please reply back if you need any more information that I might have missed telling you.

It’s called a Calico loose leaf polishing wheel..
Look it up on EBAY.
Most respect for you, Sirr!
This guy has the magic touch! There's people that try their WHOLE LIFE to learn how to get a knife sharp and never really get the hang of it...sometimes even the masters need specific tools and time... this guy needs a bench grinder and about 20 seconds... WHOA!!!
Definitely make it easier..
Just remember not to push to hard and over heat the blade.. always great to have a bucket of water long side to cool the blade if you do.
Cheers 🍻

You can use a bench grinder stre, like many other teqniques. All work better, more frequently you sharpen.

What is the grit # sandpaper you’re are using? On your belt grinder.
Hi John
If you watch my latest video on knife 🔪 sharpening I tell everyone..
I use 250 to 300 grit belt..
Cheers
Thank you for stressing the importance of safety and for telling people the correct orientation to hold the knife against the sharpening belt. I see so many people so afraid of the knife being grabbed that they place the knife backwards. Then they can't understand why they can't get it sharp. I just watched someone tell people to use a wood wheel and reverse the direction so it won't grab the edge of the knife.

That is a good shop, or home setup. I needed somthing much more portiblefor farmers markets. I oped for a MekIta belt sander. I have it mounted upside down ( fixed mounted ). The fineest belts that I can get is 220 grit. I have the speed of the belt sander adjusted. I also never use a dry belt because it will burn the blade. I thurily coated the belt with softened bees wax. Than with a small butane torch I would quickly melt the wax for a verry, verry short time just to fill in the poors of the grit. To make it easier to cleanthe beeswax off the blade I had anold 32 cup coffeepot with heated water so i could wipe the wax off. Next an old fene groved steel to remove tho wire edge. After that I would use a white carmac rod to finnish up. The knife would shave.
No wonder this video has so many views! Such an informative video and so helpful for so many! Good stuff

What degree angle to you try to keep on the blade? Do you use the same degree on the polish and the belt?
Thanks much
Tim Sexton
Hi Tim..
The degree depends on what the knives is being used for...
A boning Knife day 10 to 15 slicing knives 15 to 30 ..
A factor of blade thickness and depth of blade.also matters on Knife angle..
When I polish the knives..!!..it’s usually the angle I grind it at plus a touch more till I see the burr come up.
I work it back and fourth till the burr disappears..
I even pull the knife blade through a square piece of pine wood to help pull off the burr to speed up the process..of wearing off the burr edge..!
To reveal the supper sharp edge..

What is the make and model of the bench grinder you are using in this video. Love your sharpening techniques.
Where do you hail from ??
When I was in the Navy , I was in Perth / Fremantle for 40 days and 40 nights . ( my ship was there for only 10 days , but I took leave there after the ship departed).
I honestly did not ever want to leave !!

My ship pulled into port and remained there for 10 days .
On the last day ( I did not want to leave ), I put in a request for 30 days leave .
It was approved!
So I got to stay there for 40 days and 40 nights .
Pure Bliss !!!
Did not ever want to leave .
Met some really amazing people ( girls mostly ) haha.

I would love one day to bring my wife and kids .
If not - I hope they make it on their own .
Can’t say enough about Australia.
Truly an incredible- Most Beautiful place I’ve ever been .
Talk to you soon . Stay safe ❤️🤠🔪🦈
I am still putting your advice to work and have improved drastically Famo. One question that I need help with because I am using a belt sander ... When taking the burr off, is one supposed to hold the "tip" of the knife "into" the sander or hold the knife in the same angle it was sharened in? Any advice would be helpful

What kind of polishing bonnet is that and do you have a link to where I can purchase one
The polishing wheel is of Calico cloth and you can order on eBay or a hardware shop.

Ok, can you tell me why you dont run the strokes over the flat platen, are you getting a very very slight convexity?
Give a man a sharp knife and he becomes a Ninja. Give a woman a sharp knife and she puts it in a kitchen drawer, never to be used again. Her reasoning, "that's my good knife I don't want to dull it on this little job".

Ok. I’ll be watching this for a bit.... hell maybe I’ll subscribe. But I’m going to need some real proof that your way works better than wet stones. That’s all I’v ever used. My tomatoes fall apart just seeing my knives... so convinced me.........
Hi Danny K Foster
I use to use a wet stone and oil stone..
The choice is yours..
Happy New Year.
Famo59 I’m fine with that. And happy new year to as well. I’d like to talk about your system that you use. Would that be ok? I like your set up that you have. Just not familiar with it. Would you be able to provide then names of all the equipment that you use? Your friend. K.

When testing the sharpness of a blade is grippy-ness something desirable? I usually mimic my ex father-in-law who runs his thumb perpendicular to the blade's sharpened edge and says it feels slightly rough when sharp.
Green MarineFive-O
I usually test the blade on paper 📝
Have you thought of building a water tray that the belt runs though to keep it cool.You can probably make a tray out of a 4L bottle and it will make it near impossible to mess up the heat treatment on the knife. (As long as the grinder is water proof.)Might be cool to try out.
iiMEiii
Hi Mate..
Yes seen that system..
As I said in my new upload..
Don’t press to hard and there are no issues to all..
You have to make the knife blade go bright red or blue to stuff up the tempering of the steel..
Cheers And Merry Christmas.
Small point of fact Antonio. Scalpels are serrated edged. Same as Stanley knife blades. The teeth break and you dispose of the blade or resharpen to suit yourself.
So surgical sharpness is not usually what tradespeople want. Razors are polished.
Just terminology but the two forms of sharp edges are scalpel vs razor.
Nolan Tyrrell
I agree with you..
Yes different sharpness for the job you need it for.
Cheers Tony.
Hey buddy, you back now.....we just got back to camp. Oh I wish I was there to get my knives sharpened I really need them in the desert....ya it would have been cool to meet in Vegas, but who knows if I could have made it. Kitchen knife looks like a sword.

Hi Mate.
I find it better than using a Wet or oil stone..! Better consistency..in my OPINION.!
I now have made a paper wheel attachment to replace the buffing wheel..!!
Each have their special place in my knife sharpening arsenal..!

I have similar set up, and sharpen the same way, I didn't know anyone else who sharpens the same as myself, but he does, and knows about the burr.

Hi there, if im just sharpening kitchen knives how many times can I sharpen a knife before i have to replace the belts?
I get about 20 to 25 knives 🔪 per belt sharpened.
But for home use you can get more..
It’s up to you..
Most motors like that, you can reverse the direction by reversing the plug by taking the plug apart and switching the white and black.
Hi..
If you watch my latest video on knife 🔪 sharpening I actually just undo the base plate and rotate the base 180 degrees and it’s far easier..
Thanks for your comment.
Cheers
I once heard that if you face magnetic north while sharpening a blade, does that little bit extra.
Hi The Cad
It might just work..!
Very nice work ! From where you get the komplett machin ?

Cheers 🍻
I spent two years working in a slaughter house decades ago. I have a lot of respect for others who did the same hard work. Everything you said is true , but most people only have wet stones. I used both methods when I was butchering. For those who have wet or "oil" stones as we used to call them, you use the same technique only a lot more elbow grease. The stone is stationary and the knife has to do the moving.
I sharpen in many ways, but I've been experimenting lately with buffing wheels on a bench grinder, spinning away from me of course.
1 wheel with 400 grit compound, and a 2nd with 8000 grit compound.
I've managed to get my knives hair popping sharp, starting with a semi dull knife, but I'd like to see if it works with a completely dull knife.
Awesome 🔪🔪
@@Famo59 thank you.
Hi TONY. NEVER GOT A REPLY FROM ABBOTT BELT SANDER ? ANYWAY IVE GOT A LITTLE 1X30 BELT SANDER IM TRYING TO RIG
UP LIKE YOURS. WHAT GRIT ARE YOU USEING ON YOUR BELT SANDER. ?
BEST.
GORDIE
Hi Gordie
I use a 300 grit.
Cheers 🍻
Gordie Millhouse I use a 1x30 sander, I mounted my to a board with a perpendicular board on the back like an L so I could tip the sander on it’s side so the belt is rotating away from me and I’m working horizontally not vertically. Amazon sell a set of 1x30 belts that comes with 5 each 600, 800, 1000 grit belts and a leather stroking belt and polishing compound for the leather belt. I refurbish and sell vintage kitchen knives on eBay and have had great success using a very similar style of sharpening....watch for that bur and very lightly drag the blade across a piece of soft (pine) wood and your ready to go. That leaves your knives sharp enough to shave with but if want to go one step further a 60000 grit wet stone to finish is nice. It takes practice you need to pick an angle and stick with it I use about a 15 degree angle. Check out Kyle Noseworthy on CZcams he uses all wet stones but the technique is similar but it is better explained and he’s got a great Newfoundland accent.
great content, good work buddy :)
Merry Christmas and thanks
Sweet edge
Thanks
cool video matey.
Thank you 👍🤓
*Wow, good sharing 👍👍👍👍👍*
THẢO NGUYÊN DDS
Cheers 🍻👍
Great inspirational video! I really like to build the same system and followed your link on Multitool belt grinding attachment. You pointed correctly that rotation of both belt and buffing wheel should be away from operator. On all related CZcams videos I saw that rotation was always toward operator, which is obviously very dangerous for unexperienced user. Please explain, or may be produce a short video how do you reverse belt grinding. Turning machine 180 degree is not helping, because vertical flat grinding disc will be in front of operator. In your video it is opposite from user. Please advise. Thanks!
Hi..
If you unbolt the base in a bench grinder.. all you have to do is turn the base 180 degrees and re attach the base and then the turn on switch is in the front and re bolt the bench grinder back and you grinder will be rotating away from you..
Then reattach the grinder belt to the right side of your grinder and now it will definitely be rotating away from you..
Hope I have explained it clear enough..
Cheers Tony 👍🤓🔪
Please check this video clip
czcams.com/video/-rUvDe3szrE/video.html
I loved this video that you made. Can share with us the equipment that you are using: bench grinder, rpms and horse power rating, and system you have attached to the right side of your grinder, width and grit of belt, and on the left side what width buffing wheel. I know I'm asking a lot but I would like to setup a system like yours. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much “Famo592” for a very quick and detailed response. I see that the Abbott PO362PLUS8 8in Bench Grinder + Multitool is $519 Australian. I think that is a very fair price especially considering the exchange rates. The savings may come close to shipping to US. I live just south of Tampa Florida. ($519 AUD = $411.774 USD Exchange Rates Updated : August 17, 2017). I fully understand about the importance of the rotation of the grinder wheel. I was a Fleet Supervisor for many years. Have seen my share of stupid stuff. I appreciate what you have done for all of us out here in sharing your many years of wisdom and experience. If I can ever be of any help to you here in the US feel free to give me a jingle. Thank you very much, all my best wishes to you. Ken.

what is that polishing wheel ? AND What is that block of stuff you run onto the wheel ? {I'm from USA NY}
The wheel is a Calico buffing wheel and the cutting compound is for chrome Finnish.

@@Famo59 Thank-you !
In case of need, with these knifes you always have a good tool if you're at a loss for an answer, I guess.
Thanks for the tutorial !
Trouble in Germany is : It's not allowed carriing a knife...
nor to use it in self defense...
If you or your beloved ones get attacked by whomsoever...
you can defence yourself first if you are stabbed -.if ever you are still able to do so.
In my state they passed a law that you can defend yourself in your own house 🏡..
As long as you can prove that it is in self defense and they are capable of carrying out the threat.
Cheers
@@Famo59 Unfortunately not so in Germany !
Even if you are robbed at your home, you're not allowed to protect yourself and kill the robber.
All you are allowed to do is kindly asking the robber to please leave your house.
Kind of odd isn't it ?
Fantastic video >Thank You from Wilson
Hi Wilson..
There are more videos on knife 🔪 sharpening now.. so hopefully you will get to watch those..
Hope your well mate..
Great information on your Baccarat strategies.
Cheers Tony 👍🤓🍺⛏🔪
I do the arm hair test, but before the hair is removed, I can tell a lot by the way the blade feels against the skin. It wants to grip the skin like when you test the edge gripping the finger nail hanging at 45 degrees. If Its a smoother feel I know its going to slide over the hair! ATB from the UK.
pete wright
Yes your right there mate.👍
I used to use my fingernails and they became too chewed up. I finally found a simple medium to replace them that gives me the same feel when testing an edge. Believe it or not, plastic drinking straws. They're dirt cheap and work beautifully. Try using the rounded surface to feel if the edge is biting properly and use the edge of the plastic at the end to feel for a "click" or vibration signalling small chips or imperfections of polish in the edge.
That sounds like a good tester! Must try that. I've heard of using a Bic pen as substitute for nail but the straw tip run down edge sounds useful too.
The best part about it is, they're so cheap that when a straw gets a bit torn up and harder to get good data from, you just throw it away and get another from the big box of 250 straws you paid like ... a dollar for.
Edmond Dantez
Will try it out mate..👍
