Hey guys, check out raythesharpener.com. This is my own website where I personally make, design, pick and choose the best products based on my years of experience in knives and sharpening.
@raythesharpener5260 okay but you know that unless you always use high end rui whetstones on high quality knives your gonna damage the blade use some diamond stones to
@@MrMarrok657 I use a random sharping rock and a stone my dad bought years ago no idea if it’s whetstone but I just use oil. My knives work well still so it works
You sharpen well. You have a good technique. How do you sharpen your personal high quality knifes? Like pocket knives and larger fixed blades as well the kitchen knives. Also, the strop, looks like you dont give a shit about contaminting the fine grit with coarse grit. I wish I had tour devil may care attitude lol
Curious: Can you explain why I would not want to have my VG10 knife sharpened with belts? Is this traditional wisdom only for even higher carbon knives? I refer to the notion that the heat produced will affect the temper of the blade, or that the steel is too fragile/hard/prone to chip. I can get a usable edge on my knives, but not effortless through paper sharp. Only local sharpeners use power tools as far as I can tell, no stones.
Yes, and also, it's very hard to sharpen high-grade steels with whetstone with diamond stone it's so easy, especially dmt dia sharp stones it also lasts for almost a decade
lansky sharpening set is awesome!, if you can find one! im not sure on the spelling, but it holds the knife in place for you and you use oil with it, so its pretty easy to do!
How can I remove aluminum stuck inside phores of a pocket stone? I did not think it would be so hard.. I usually use school eraser but does not work on this..
If you are using a slow speed belt and frequently dipping in water to keep the edge cool there is absolutely no noticeable difference between belts and stones ...stones just last longer and take longer
The whetstone creates a burr, the strop is just getting rid of the burr, and the reason it burrs is because the edge gets so thin it folds over. And then you strop to get rid of the fold (burr), hope this helps
It does, it mechanically breaks the burr off (leaving a slightly duller edge than if you were to abrade it, not noticeable for normal use of knives though), leaves slight microconvexivity (if using compound) this makes the knife slightly sharper and slightly tougher. It can also realign slight nicks and dents, very tiny ones, and takes quite a few passes. It is good for beginners, but I moved away from stropping after sharpening, there isn't much need for it unless you struggle to properly deburr. I do use it for maintaining an edge though.
SAME! I was fuckin around and talking while sharpening and cut the side of my thumb off. A little under in half and my nail bed is screwed D: Always be careful with sharp knives, or you might lose feeling on on side of your thumb
Oh yeah man, that pinch point between the blade an stone still kinda terrifies me. Never cut myself, yet, but in my imagination it's instant amputation
Use oil instead of water, the cheap shitty ones from harbor freight will dry out regardless because they're crap. A quality whetstone like KAI is what you want to shoot for
I don’t know where people are coming up with these ridiculous prices on CZcams. Only people that look for or offer sharpening on social media see prices like this and they come from people who do this as a hobby in their home after learning online; they’re certainly not from anyone that has an actual shop and does this professionally. Even a water stone service (rather than belts) takes ~ 3 minutes (maybe 5 tops) in a Professional environment. The most OVER PRICED shops in Manhattan (with insane overhead) that are “Certified” to sharpen & repair by various name brand manufacturers out of Japan don’t even charge that much for customers that are shipping their knives in, and are even less expensive for chefs, butchers etc… Really high prices are almost exclusively for a small variety of specialty Japanese style knives and things that require significant repair
No one cares about knives other than Asians in this way I mean like sharpening them I see so many bogus b******* things online like I know he's real but you get the point
Or get a Worx GS knife and tool sharpener from Menards Lowe's or Home Depot or even your friendly neighborhood Ace Hardware might have it and a couple of extremely cheap knives from Goodwill or the salvation army thrift store and learn how to put a katana edge on just about everything (stop sign)😅 in about 5 minutes.....😁😉
And this is coming from someone reffering to something as a "katana edge"? Please define this term as a katanas edge is no different from any other blades edge

Hey ray are the price tags in your store AUD Or USD
You sneaky, didn't think we'd notice thats a Kai whetstone 😂
It might be a kai whetstone but his actual knifes are so high quality
@@usnm3ssa441I’ve seen nothing beat shun imo
@@seffbones5655 my kiwi knife beats shun
@@usnm3ssa441 are they really tho
Bro I use soaking stones. And I've done your method from watching your videos, and yeah. My kids are like can you stop sharpening the knives
You are always using whetstones. What's your opinion on oil stones as I have a 3 set that gets my knives extremely sharp.
good if it works for you, but for beginners might be too slippery, hard to control the angle
@raythesharpener5260 okay but you know that unless you always use high end rui whetstones on high quality knives your gonna damage the blade use some diamond stones to
That’s one sharp ass knife
“start with 1000 grit” every bone in my body knowing i start with about 400……and end with 3,000.
Because 400 is for a real full knife. I Start with 600. But 400 would kill my knives
@@bedirsayar8443 i start with 400 on everything lol. pocket knives, bush knives, kitchen.

@@Flowerlytdm and it sounds like you know what you’re doin.
@@Flowerlytdm i like my carry knives SHARP. never know when you’re gonna need it for any situation.
Rays awesome and hilarious 👍
Very informative I'm tired of paying to have my knife set sharpened and I'm excited to learn how to properly do it myself
“Use a shitty knife”got me laughing😂
You sharpen well. You have a good technique. How do you sharpen your personal high quality knifes? Like pocket knives and larger fixed blades as well the kitchen knives. Also, the strop, looks like you dont give a shit about contaminting the fine grit with coarse grit. I wish I had tour devil may care attitude lol
🙄"You can do it yourself"👌😆💯
Thank you sir!!!
What a minute 😉 you say $30 other videos you say $10 🤔
Belt is 10, im guessing.
Do people really pay that much for stone sharpening? I have some nice stones and I was thinking about doing it as a side hustle.
Do a katana next please
I’ll be glad to watch your earlier videos, then I’ll sharpen all knives I come across 😏
Le sharpener god
Jesus is God, this guy isnt

Egg roll! Mitsubishi! Ping pong!
I only start with 1000 grit if it's already sharp, and I just want to make it sharper.
ow get the pro shapene 10 from this side 20 on ceramic and it 29 dolla
Apply light pressure?
Get yourself a diamond block. Whetstone is fun and cheap but don't last long and requires work to keep ot flat.
If your stones dont stay flat, and wear fast, you are buying shit stones.

Noice
Should I clean knife after strop because of chemicals in the strop green bar?
i end with 30000 lol, it takes a long time, but the mirror polish is worth it
I’m having troubles sharpening my small whittling knives ! Any tips 😭
lansky sharpening set is awesome!, if you can find one! im not sure on the spelling, but it holds the knife in place for you and you use oil with it, so its pretty easy to do!
Bruh y’all need to do a butter knife
ok great i'll practice with rui knives
Same
How can I remove aluminum stuck inside phores of a pocket stone? I did not think it would be so hard.. I usually use school eraser but does not work on this..
Would this work with an exacto?
Some ppl say you shouldn't wet them? I'm new to knife collecting. What's the difference if you don't if u don't mind me asking?
Do you blur it out cos you dont use your own stones
But what would I use to sharpen a dull katana
What do you think about belt sharpening in comparison to whetstones, is there a quality difference?
If you are using a slow speed belt and frequently dipping in water to keep the edge cool there is absolutely no noticeable difference between belts and stones ...stones just last longer and take longer
Ray ray ray. ray: WAA
30$ is crazy tho
Not when he’d have to spend half an hour sharpening lol. They’re normally cheap because they sharpen on a belt grinder, which takes like a minute
You do NOT charge 30 dollars for a sharpening. That is way too expensive.
Us chefs will pay that money if we don’t wanna do it ourselves considering we use our knives daily
Is there too sharp by the way
Literally can't ruin your knives with a stone, I've seen people try 😂😂😂
You underestimate the power of man
4th….
Question. Stropping. How does it alter the edge in anyway? Would it not just be a weaker version of whetstone sharpening?
The whetstone creates a burr, the strop is just getting rid of the burr, and the reason it burrs is because the edge gets so thin it folds over. And then you strop to get rid of the fold (burr), hope this helps
@@Dango534 Very much actually. I've only recently begun looking at knife sharpening. Was a kitchen worker for five years
It does, it mechanically breaks the burr off (leaving a slightly duller edge than if you were to abrade it, not noticeable for normal use of knives though), leaves slight microconvexivity (if using compound) this makes the knife slightly sharper and slightly tougher.
It can also realign slight nicks and dents, very tiny ones, and takes quite a few passes.
It is good for beginners, but I moved away from stropping after sharpening, there isn't much need for it unless you struggle to properly deburr.
I do use it for maintaining an edge though.
I cant do it on ceramic stones, on diamond plates from dmt i make a razor out of everything
But how much is the whetstone
Who pay $30 for sharpening when you can just buy a new sharp knife for $20....
And what if i have chipped my wetstone?
One time i was sharpening a knife my hand accidentally slip and cut my finger, the cut was so deep it hit my bone, so be careful
best way to test?! :( (I always have lots of medical supplies for my many fun hobbies)
SAME! I was fuckin around and talking while sharpening and cut the side of my thumb off. A little under in half and my nail bed is screwed D: Always be careful with sharp knives, or you might lose feeling on on side of your thumb
Ouch . Same here . Had a 1cm square chunk of meat bleeding and hanging from the finger . Healed but nicelly and was lucky not to hit tendon as well
I can still see the cut this day, i forgot to to tell it happened last weekend
Oh yeah man, that pinch point between the blade an stone still kinda terrifies me. Never cut myself, yet, but in my imagination it's instant amputation
But how do i stop my whetstone from drying out like almost instantly????
Use oil instead of water, the cheap shitty ones from harbor freight will dry out regardless because they're crap. A quality whetstone like KAI is what you want to shoot for
sell a small sharpening tutorial for 30-50 bucks
why not wood first then leather
He’s not stropping the knife on the wood, it’s just a tan coloured leather
ahh i see thats almost that wood color
WHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
I also overcharge for my work, I’m a mechanic 😁👍
Bro, a 7 1/2” knife at a place near me is $15 to sharpen
Waaaaaaaa!!!!
Practice with a shit knife first is a good tip. 👍 💯
30 is overpriced as hell

Mantine angle is so difficult
Rubbing a knife on wet stone about an hour result is zero
there are 15 degree angle guides you can buy for like a dollar from china
I'll just spend 5 mins with a pull-through, whetstone takes too long and makes too much mess
What is so bad on that thing that you have to blur it?
No one cares about knives other than Asians in this way I mean like sharpening them I see so many bogus b******* things online like I know he's real but you get the point
Ur a troll and there is professional cooks goofy
I am god
Hello gob
That’s out of the blue
Or get a Worx GS knife and tool sharpener from Menards Lowe's or Home Depot or even your friendly neighborhood Ace Hardware might have it and a couple of extremely cheap knives from Goodwill or the salvation army thrift store and learn how to put a katana edge on just about everything (stop sign)😅 in about 5 minutes.....😁😉

Except for 30$ to sharpen get a $100+ sharpening stone good idea🤣
Oh great just show some stuff and not explain what you are doing
