Angle has a lot to do with how long it lasts. I sharpen for other people in my family to be a more durable, albeit slightly less sharp edge. For myself since a maintain them like I’m gonna need them for surgery, I use a steeper angle.
Acute angles retain sharpness for longer. Obtuse angles are better with lateral and shock forces, so they have higher edge stability, but have lower edge retention. Obtuse angles are better for people who abuse or dont know how to use knives. Acute angles are better for people that know not to do stupid things. Drop your angle as low as it can go before chipping/rolling.
@@autumn5592 you don't sharpen a knife to an obtuse angle. An obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees. If your knife has an obtuse angles edge than you just have a paper weight with a handle on it.
I've had some people compliment my sharpening skills, and other people tell me it sucked and I'm doing it wrong... Hey, if it's your knife and it cuts the way you want it to cut in the end, who cares.
The people who tell me I'm doing it wrong are usually carrying the most out of maintenance pocket knives ever, or don't carry at all. Rarely do they produce an example of "doing it right." I keep mine shave sharp, I know it's sharp.
@samaelsandalphon5600 same. I've been sharpening knives for friends, family, and customers for 15 or so years. I have tried every method you can think of, and the majority of them worked and continue to work nicely. Diamond plates are my favorite because you can get a set of them for $25~ and they last far longer than sandpaper. As long as you're happy with the edge, that's fantastic.
Dad taught me how to sharpen a knife when I was about 10, and as I love to cook I used that skill all the time. Now I'm 28 and because of nerve damage I can't trust myself to hold a knife for most cutting jobs, let alone to sharpen it. The bright side is that my dad loves it when I bring my knives home for him to sharpen.

Great information how to properly sharpen a knife. I have a sharpening stone I use but getting it as sharp as possible is important to know. Thank you for posting!
Such a useful skill. I taught myself how using some youtube videos and a very expensive whetstone and turned all my kitchen knives from basically clubs into precise scalpels fit for heart surgery😂
Thank you for uploading this video. This is a lost art. My father owned a restaurant which I have since inherited and when I was about 9 or 10 he had me take over the knife sharpening for him. We’ve always had multiple butcher knives that we use throughout our 16-18 hour workday and yes some employees screw them up really quick 🤦♂️ so needless to say knife sharpening was my daycare when I wasn’t washing dishes
Also worth noting: If your knife is cheap and made of crappy steel. It'll get like that just by cutting food. And it'll get that way VERY quickly. An expensive knife (that's not kamikoto) made of hard high carbon steels will typically have good edge retention. A sharp knife is a safe knife.
Cheap knives will not magically dull by cutting carrots and tomatoes. Even cheap knives will remain sharp for a while if you don't do dumb shit like leaving them in a drawer with other knives, slamming/scraping on the cutting board, and cutting on ceramic plates. 99.9% of production knives are made of carbon steel, stating that is entirely pointless.
Something to know about knife sharpening, you're supposed to be able to get your cutting edge on the lowest grit stone. Going up the grits isn't meant to sharpen it more, it's just refining the edge. A knife sharpened at 360 grit should be able to pass the paper test before going on. Another thing, but sharpening on stones is also supposed to develop a bur along the blade of the knife, which also prevent the knife from being at its sharpest, and must be removed by stropping on either a leather strop or a 1000+ grit stone. This is like sharpening but with a pull instead of a push motion. Stropping on a leather strop also removes any steel micro particles from the blade, which is kind of important if you're using your knives for food.
Your first paragraph is correct, but your second one is half right. You don't NEED to form a burr to make a sharp knife. There are sharpening techniques where you completely avoid the formation of one. But this is a more advanced technique, beginners learn quicker through forming a burr. You also don't need to strop, if you deburr properly on a stone. And it doesn't need to be particularly high grit, as low as 220 grit can effectively remove a burr.
This doesn't make sense. If you ask somebody about how many times they have done something, they won't say "Yes", instead they would tell you the numerical value of the number of times they have done it, for example, "I did this 5 times," or, "I did this 2 times," etc.
@@rayb3000 I started being able to maintain the same angle after 2 completely failed sharpenings (as in I made the knife more dull) and 3 mediocre sharpenings (got it having some very sharp zones and some very blunt zones), totaling like 4 hours. After that I was able to always make knifes usefully sharpened. It's also a very calming zen experience
So glad for everyone who helped teach me this skill, I’m a bit rusty but i still have beautiful edges on all of my kitchen and pocket knives, throwaway and show
I befriended a butcher a while ago while replacing the tile on the floor of his shop. He taught me how to use a butchers stone and let me use his whenever I dropped by. Sharpest knives ever. Long stones are magic.
I have been sharpening knives for close to 30 years, and do it pretty much the same way. But I have a bit of system. I do 5 strokes on each side, then 4, 3. 2. and then 3 sets of single strokes before moving up to the next grit. I try and make sure everything I do to one side, gets done to the other so the edge stays in the center.
A little fact, due to geometry and foundation stress and the way edges react to stresses. leaving your blade a tiny bit dull(still sharp just not like hair thin) not only helps it retain it's sharpness longer but actually makes the whole blade stronger. Sharpen your knife just not too much.
@@tr3b596 forming a burr isn't what gets the blade sharp, it's the removal of material until you get a sharp geometry on the edge. A burr forming is a useful indicator that you did it right, but not a requirement, so pushing forward works as well
Yeah i swear these corporations are such snowflakes especially when it comes to knifes even cooking and crafts channels get demonitized but the companies dont care about stuff like comment bots or worse stuff
I remember my step dad showing me how he sharpened his knives for the first time. He tapped a tea cloth with the tip of the blade and made a cut. I was blown away!!
It’s funny, the first part of him ruining the blade was actually something I needed to see, I’m going to be using a real knife for a costume and don’t want any risk of it hurting people, this seems like a great way to dull it before sanding. Thanks for the advice! Edit: I’m a prop maker building Mandalorian armor, I want a knife to use as a costume accessory, it will likely be sheathed the whole time and handled safely like a real knife. I would use this brick dulling truck as the start for filing and rounding the edge so I wouldn’t cut myself initially when using sandpaper or a metal file. Take knives seriously, y’all! Edit 2: YALL YOU GOTTA TRUST ME I KNOW THE RISKS AND AM PLANNING TO LITERALLY ROUND THE CORNERS OF ENTIRELY AND MAKE YHE POINT THE SAME WAY, I JUST WANT IT TO BE A REAL METAL PROP, THAT’S IT, GOD DAMN, YALL
“You wanna learn how to ruin a blade?” Me: *An intellectual who doesn’t own a knife* “Sure” Edit 2: Removing the previous edit because people are getting way too concerned and prying far too much input into my life because of a stupid joke on a knife sharpening video. I am fine and we’ll leave it at that.
Used to spend 30 minutes in the kitchen before work and got my knives sharped. My boss hated it and thought it was a waste of time. Unfortunately for her someone called a health inspector they had the placed closed and shutdown due to neglect of the foundation. All there lays now is rubble 😂
When we did Sweeney Todd at my community theatre it was my job to dull all the razors, we bought cheap straight razors which I then painted to look more fancy on the handle and went outside and rubbed them against the concrete for 5 minutes
Speaking of straight razors I remember hearing a guy once said he’d bang them on the curb to get them rusty, put them in the rain barrel and get them rusty.
I bought a new knife recently, chef never used it but kept it in its cardboard wrap for a year. It might as well have been bricked. Took ten whole minutes of whetstoning for me to feel any edge, then two minutes straight on a nice clean flat steel, just so it could make thin tomatoes. Ill see what I can do on my day off
When I use a whetstone I run the other way in the direction of the back of the knife. This means any small imperfections in the stone won't chip the blade edge

I remember my step dad showing me how he sharpened his knives for the first time. He tapped a tea cloth with the tip of the blade and made a cut. I was blown away!!
This is life… idk why this is so satisfying to listen to.
It’s funny, the first part of him ruining the blade was actually something I needed to see, I’m going to be using a real knife for a costume and don’t want any risk of it hurting people, this seems like a great way to dull it before sanding. Thanks for the advice!
Edit: I’m a prop maker building Mandalorian armor, I want a knife to use as a costume accessory, it will likely be sheathed the whole time and handled safely like a real knife. I would use this brick dulling truck as the start for filing and rounding the edge so I wouldn’t cut myself initially when using sandpaper or a metal file. Take knives seriously, y’all!
Edit 2: YALL YOU GOTTA TRUST ME I KNOW THE RISKS AND AM PLANNING TO LITERALLY ROUND THE CORNERS OF ENTIRELY AND MAKE YHE POINT THE SAME WAY, I JUST WANT IT TO BE A REAL METAL PROP, THAT’S IT, GOD DAMN, YALL
🤣👍
Why not a prop knife?
@@user-yx8vp7oh4m Oh, just because I like the look of it more than a fake one, and knowing I can make it super dull is good
Plus, if it's a decent blade, after you're done with the costume you can resharpen it and put it back in your kitchen lol
@@deth3234 True! 😂
damn now i can finally use that thing for my knife collection
Is it just me who has goosebumps when listening to these types of sounds?
Gives me asmr tingles
My grandfather that I never met was a butcher and my father learned a lot under him.
Everybody: focusing on the asmr
Me: How flawless his skin is......
His tone is so even too😭😭 not a single red patch or dark circle at all
😳
Yeah I need their skin care routine 😩💗
Damn, that stone is covered in more oil than me on a Friday night
“Exact same angle” is one of those things that sounds a lot easier than it is
Those are some amazing stones right there….2-4 passes at each grit and your’e good to go!! Gotta figure out where to get me some stones like that…lol
2-4 passes because it's a very short clip. His stones are inexpensive stones and no one besides him would ever use a steel after afterwards either.
This reminds me of that part on Surfs Up with the shell and the surfboard😂
Yeah fr
Goat reference
Never thought knife sharpening asmr was something that would sound so good
I've seem so many instructional videos of people doing this wrong. It's great to see a correct example. Bravo!
I heard other chefs talking about resetting their blade on the side wall. I’m glad I finally saw someone doing this.
“You wanna learn how to ruin a blade?”
Me: *An intellectual who doesn’t own a knife* “Sure”
Edit 2: Removing the previous edit because people are getting way too concerned and prying far too much input into my life because of a stupid joke on a knife sharpening video. I am fine and we’ll leave it at that.
_😂😂_
How?
@@ducksongfans just rub it on a brick I think? Can’t test because I also don’t own a knife.
@@Babytron.official no he was asking how he doesn’t own a knife
How do you not own a knife
Used to spend 30 minutes in the kitchen before work and got my knives sharped. My boss hated it and thought it was a waste of time. Unfortunately for her someone called a health inspector they had the placed closed and shutdown due to neglect of the foundation. All there lays now is rubble 😂
Omg the cut with the paper at the end was sooooo satisfying and when you sharpen your knife it sounds like an asmr 🤩😆
I learned to sharpen my Swiss army knife when I was about 9 0r 10, now I'm the family kitchen knife sharpener 🤣
I bet everyone bring you their knives to sharpen.
The amount of concentration in this man's eyes you can tell he loves this
In Nigeria 🇳🇬 we rub knives against other knives, slab corners and floors and it works pretty well
And here I was about to ask what kind of oil to use . . ..
getting goosebumps from the metal scratching in my headphones rn
My dad taught me to sharpen knives when I was a little girl. This brings back good memories.
When we did Sweeney Todd at my community theatre it was my job to dull all the razors, we bought cheap straight razors which I then painted to look more fancy on the handle and went outside and rubbed them against the concrete for 5 minutes
Interesting 🤔
I swear props departments never get enough credit 😂😭
Speaking of straight razors I remember hearing a guy once said he’d bang them on the curb to get them rusty, put them in the rain barrel and get them rusty.
I know you bought cheap razors and it was for the safety of the cast. But you rubbing those razors on concrete hurts my soul.
Spending quiet time sharpen a blade is super meditative
I bought a new knife recently, chef never used it but kept it in its cardboard wrap for a year. It might as well have been bricked. Took ten whole minutes of whetstoning for me to feel any edge, then two minutes straight on a nice clean flat steel, just so it could make thin tomatoes. Ill see what I can do on my day off
Everyone is watching the knife…
I’m appreciating the beard! What a work of art
When I use a whetstone I run the other way in the direction of the back of the knife. This means any small imperfections in the stone won't chip the blade edge
This guy gets it, thank you for not being insane
I've had so many chefs tell me that is sharpening the wrong way. And can confirm.
Finally, Someone who knows how to sharpen our kitchen tools
Idk why but the sound of sharpening knives or axes is just soooooo satisfying
I agree!
I disageee
@@LukesOffline I respect your dislike of such a sound, and I can understand why. To each his/her own.
Glad to see it done right.. 40 years of experience
This is extremely helpful thanks
