    Great Review... I'v been sharpening for years. Free hand, Belt grinder, KME etc.
    The TSPROF is my favorite. I use the Blitz 360 for pocket knives and the K03 for larger knives.
    The Kadet is a great middle of the road sharpener. The Blitz is sized right for smaller blades.
    If you are only doing pocket knives go with the Blitz.
    If you need to take care of kitchen knives the Kadet is a great choice.
    Clamp systems produce a better result for most folks than any other method.

    I purchased the same sharpener from gritomatic in a black kit. It come with upgraded stone holder to hold both the dovetail style stones and on the opposite side it has a larger space to hold the Venev dual sided style stones. I cannot say how well the basic version that you have works, because I dont have one. It may very well be plenty sufficient for holding different stones. But the upgraded version does a really good job holding the Venev stones and can be purchased separately. It is worth buying for sure. Thank you for the video and for all of your valuable time and information that you share with all of us in the knife community. Have a great weekend

    The Kadet pro is the newest version it has an precision adjustment knob to set your angles it works awesome , I have 4 sets of clamps , 2 sets of dual clamps 1 regular(like in this vid) and 1 filet clamps (for very thin and low profile knives ) it keeps the stones from hitting the clamp, The dual clamps are better for larger knives like kitchen knives , fixed blades and large folders
    Then they have single clamps I recommend for pocket knives smaller blades up to 3.5 inches ,basically (KME) style clamp and they hold rock solid , With this set you can sharpen a large Kitchen knife all the way down to a small knife like what’s in Swiss Army knives

    This thing is cool but I’m already too accustomed to my work sharp and in a little deep in attachments that give it a lot of versatility. Old habits die hard and I don’t think I could give up the ability to quickly pull the clamp out of the system without removing the knife so that you can check specific portions of the edge in more detail thruout the process. When trying to for example straighten a messed up wavy edge it helps a lot.

    The angle setting seems pretty awkward with this machine. I have a Hapstone with a micro-adjuster which makes it much easier to set a very precise angle. Also, Hapstone is made in Ukraine while TS Prof is made in Russia.

    Hi Jared, I bought the K03 and am very impressed with it. I would say it is definitely a step up the the kadet pro. Do you use a digital angle cube to find your angles or do you just use the indicator on the TSPROF ?

    • @NeevesKnives

    How are the more affordable brands like Lanskys? I've used the Scotts, which I don't think are even as good as the Lansky, and it was workable. Keep in mind that the biggest/hardest blade I used on on was a 3¾" M390 blade on an M4 Lionsteel. The blade I'm going to be reprofiling the edge on is only 2.9", but it's CMP M4 tool steel, which I'm told is like trying to sharpen granite.
    The Scotts was okay for a few things, I normally free hand but when I'm changing the bevel I want to make sure the geometry is as close to perfect as possible.
    I know the M4 is going to be a nightmare, but I really don't have $120+(let alone $400+) to spend on a sharpener at this time, like to be below $80 if possible.
    Thoughts?
    I'm even willing to pay someone else to sharpen the M4. Normally paying someone else would be blasphemous, but the fact that this one is so difficult, and the fact that it probably won't need to be fully sharpened again for a number of years, and by then I'll be able to handle it myself.

    • @MrEric0822
      @MrEric0822 Před 6 měsíci

      Watch Gunny Talk videos (Scott Gunn). He talks about this. Basically, you want to clamp the knife parallel to an imaginary line from the pivot of the knife to the tip of the knife, which means you end up clamping pretty straight across the spine. Use the Sharpie and adjust accordingly. If you clamp parallel to the imaginary line from heel to tip, you will end up with a consistent angle but your bevel with widen toward the tip because the steel is thicker there. A lot depends on blade shape, but this is a good general rule.

    Sharpening question, Jared:
    I have the Kadet. I bought double sided Venev 1x6 stones: 100/240, 400/800, and 1200/1500.
    I also got a separate Venev 80 grit for serious reprofiling.
    For stropping, I got some basswood cut to 1x6 with 1 & 0.5 micron gunny juice.
    My question is: if I’m finishing up a stone progression on 1500, is that a fine enough grit that I can I go right to the 1 & 0.5 micron strops for a nice highly polished finish, or should I get a coarser grit gunny juice to use before the 1 micron? Let’s say 3 or 6 micron?

    So portable
    Funky that you have to angle cube both holder arm from base and stone mounted on guide. Zero holder and read angle on stone. Micro adjustable screw at top or use as depth compensator. I find it works better to use same size stones and have that brass piece with hole be movable to adjust angle.. Mine sucked eggs out of box as the main shaft on stand was so tight to move and adjust arms. Had to sand the corners.
    Filet clamps and solo clamp so friggin expensive but you can belt sand the ones they give really thin like the filet clamps.
    Venev stones are the bomb if you can afford it. Their duamond coated shit stones good to 62 hrc.
    Handle knob will fall off eventually .
    Note to users curved blades set it so its not 90 degrees to base arm make it so handle side and point are equal distanced often I find using 1 side with 2 clamps.
    Their angle cube sux nads...gritomatic. spend a few bucks more and get one that adjusts instantly.
    Other than those points its a great unit and packs away in a draw easily.
