Thanks Rooster, I do watch you videos all the way through. Just picked up a Spyderco Ultra Fine and an Arkansas Black due to your videos. I must say, the 306UF is the best money I've laid down on sharpening so far. We're gettin there because of you, so thanks again. Would like to have you opinions on fixed blade convex edge sharpening.
That was 2 very good stone choices. I'm glad you like them. Good to hear that I'm helping you. And I'll do another video soon on convex. Bit in the mean time, I do have at least one video on convexing. Maybe 2 I can't remember.
Great Video. You have helped me a lot in my "sharpening journey". I sent my Spyderco UF back to Spyderco with pictures of the swirl marks that the ceramic stone came with. Spyderco warranty support told me that all the UF stones have swirl marks. I know that Spyderco takes product quality and improvement seriously and the problem may be able to be addressed by using a random orbital buffing process. The swirl marks in the stone are perfectly circular. If all stones are with the swirls .... Lapping is next. Thanks again.
Beautiful bevels. I'm still trying to get there when I'm pushing the knife away. For some reason, when I get to the belly and tip, I do something with my wrist/hand that causes me problems on keeping it consistent. No issues on the pull stroke toward me. I'll get there one day. Maybe.
I went after mine with a diamond flattener, got pretty close to flat but for one end that drops off a couple hundreds in the last 1/2 inch. Not worth the wear on stones or flatterers to go after it. Silicon carbide like wise did not look like it was going to get it flat in my lifetime.
Thank you for this, and all of your videos. I have seen a VERY popular youtube presenter who sharpens Japanese knives, who recommends holding the blade at a 20° angle to the stone (that's what I understood him to say). This results in a 40° angle at the cutting edge. I just say your presentation on the Opinel knife (lopsided sharpening), and I thought I'd mention the angle. Your viewers might be interested another video on edge geometry (If you don't already have one). Thanks again
I really don't know very much about the difference in various steals, but I just got a blade from Medford in the S 35 V and it took a very sharpe edge with all most no effort.
mornin’ have you ever just stropped a factory edge? i have a manix 2 in s30v on the way and i didn’t wanna corrupt it too much with my amateur ability lol ty for the content (searched your content for this before i asked btw)
welp i got it. the fit and finish is perfect but the grind was off and it wouldn’t even shave. i don’t care that much but its my first spyderco and everyone raves about their factory edge. mine sucks lol. so i went with a dmt coarse at 17 degrees. that angle pretty much just evened out the factory edge. it is fairly toothy so i stropped it with green. prob wont whittle but it does pop hair when i test on my arm. really good working edge. i use a numbered wedge kit to keep my freehand angle. works like a charm. anyway peace brother ✌️
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 thanks! Going to try this, my buddy gave me a dmt fine he didn't use anymore so I'm trying to learn on it with some cheap folders, you're videos have been a good find
Chris sorry about your live show Saturday, the internet was broken for you that’s why some people left in masses, the video was fracked. Whether it was targeted at you or just random is the question. Take a break if you need to but don’t go away please.
People can check their email, or whatever while the video is playing. I turn the volume down if I have to focus on something else. People watching as long as possible really helps the channel.
nice edge, i got two ceramic rods i haven't used in a while but i love them they put one heck of an edge on my knives, in fact i cut myself once right after i honed on one and that was one of the most painful cuts i ever got. and it wasn't even deep. just watching your video while i flatten my Arkansas stones, just doing the coarse work right now. gotta flatten all my naniwa hones too... got a few days of work ahead of me. been tuning up the forge too, still needs some work it aint burning efficiently but i managed to hammer out a couple pair of tongs. hopefully i can get it dialed in soon and i can make a few small knives, id still like to send you one for the channel
I played the video as fast as i could to watch lol. Love your process and dedication to your craft i just try to get the video watched in half the time.
I don't mean to be a broken record. But u-tube can really suck. Channels that you can learn something good and that is fun to watch. But on the other hand they pay these idiots to do all this dumb crap and they're getting filthy rich off of it. What is wrong with this picture
I appreciate all your videos. Thanks
Very nice work!!
Another cool video. Thank you
Beautiful edge!
Thank you.
Thank you very much for the great video
You could just run that blade over the stones and not even say anything. I love that sound. Too bad I can't feel it, lol.

Yea they come pretty damn bad. And thank you for the kind words
Love that long diamond plate!
Yes it's very handy. I've had it for a long time.
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 what's it called? I'm looking for a good stone or dimond plate to sharpen with
@@Zaa-up4hg depends on what your sharpening and what kind of edge your looking for

VERY IMPRESSIVE!
Thank you.
The way you present the blade to the stone matters. Everybody is so impatient. That's why their edges suck.
I've tried his method, just taking your time and do it slowly. It makes a huge difference to the edge of blades
Nice edge man!
Thank you

Because you are keeping the same level through the belly and tip. Work on lifting you're wrist and that'll fix it.
I have a s45 large sebenza 31 on the way. I hope it’s slightly better than s35vn.
Heck, I guess my comment this morning didn't post....great video, Chris!
Just now got it. Thanks man!
Well done.
Thank you
You have mentioned using your knives at work here and there.just curious what type of work you do. God bless brother
That s35vn is a keeper enjoy ! 👍
It seemed to do very well.
The clack on the opening of that knife! Good microphone lol
Btw where your beer in this one??
Didn't want any tonight lol
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 that makes absolutely zero sense LMBO
I've heard a lot of guys complain about lack of flatness of the Spydercos. And that they are stupid hard and difficult to fix the problem.
Sometimes they are a very big pain to fix.
I went after mine with a diamond flattener, got pretty close to flat but for one end that drops off a couple hundreds in the last 1/2 inch. Not worth the wear on stones or flatterers to go after it. Silicon carbide like wise did not look like it was going to get it flat in my lifetime.
Chris I need one of those hairs
Lol
I also try to click through all the comments with a thumbs up. I think it helps with the searches.

Medfords s35vn and this stuff are completely different. This was the hardest s35vn I've ever sharpened

ty for the content
(searched your content for this before i asked btw)
I've done it, but I don't much. If it'll bring back a good edge why not?

@@joeyripswell there factory edges aren't very good at all.
Sup rooster , sweet knife ! Great vid too. Full tang likey sabinza, so how dis it work out did you like it or sell it?
I sold ot
Have you sharpened many coated blades? I am wondering if the coating will clog up the stone bad or if the stone has to be cleaned afterwards.
That doesn't matter
Great video, what are you spraying on the dmt? Just water?
Dawn and water
@@roughroosterknifesharpenin5531 thanks! Going to try this, my buddy gave me a dmt fine he didn't use anymore so I'm trying to learn on it with some cheap folders, you're videos have been a good find
you end up keeping it
Hello make more videos please.
Greetings from the Netherlands 👊🏻
Have you done cold steel s35vn?
Yes and I don't like it at all. Or any cold steel product.
They messed up when they started that company
What do you mean they messed up? I own a lot of cold steel products and they seem great? Just curious what your complaints are?
So you don’t keep the convex edge ?
All hand honed edges are convexed.

I don't know if anything can help it right now. My stats are farther down than they have ever been
nice edge, i got two ceramic rods i haven't used in a while but i love them they put one heck of an edge on my knives, in fact i cut myself once right after i honed on one and that was one of the most painful cuts i ever got. and it wasn't even deep.
just watching your video while i flatten my Arkansas stones, just doing the coarse work right now. gotta flatten all my naniwa hones too... got a few days of work ahead of me.
been tuning up the forge too, still needs some work it aint burning efficiently but i managed to hammer out a couple pair of tongs. hopefully i can get it dialed in soon and i can make a few small knives, id still like to send you one for the channel
Ceramic works great. I try to stay away from the rods if I can tho.
And that would be awesome. I'd appreciate that.
i was wondering "how sharp could it possibly get" and then this dude just fuckin feathersticked a strand of hair
what honing oil is that
I'm not using oil in this video
I am going to ask my doctor if he can get 5 widdle in a row
Lol!
If you sell it. Lemme know. I'll give ya a offer
Dang view 192.
Man it took 3 hours for this video to load last night
