Thanks for the critics! Very honest!
Great video, I sharpen like you but I take alcohol and a paper towel and wipe off the blade so I don’t contaminate my different stones. When I’m through sharpening, I wipe off my stones with alcohol and a paper towel. Just my mythology, I will try the perpendicular swipes next time I use my KO3.
Yeah i wouldn’t run my stones parallel to the edge. Usually perpendicular, pulling away from the edge. But as you said, to each their own. That’s what makes it fun imo. Seeing what kind of results you get with different techniques. Need the small single clamp table for my smaller knives tho.
Oh yea! There’s many ways to achieve good results!
Awesome vid man
Looking to pick up the Kadet soon. This looks damn fun!!!!!
Yea I love sharpening too!
I just bought this system with the universal table and the convex grind attachment. Using the Venev Beta Centauri DBR stones. Also picked up some glass blanks to use lapping film with it. And 3 kangaroo strops one for each gunny juice I use. 9, 3, 0.1 and 0.5 micron. I don’t mix the grit microns with poly diamond suspensions on the same strop. So each different size micron has its own strop. Just the way I do it
Sounds fancy! I haven’t started to mess to that extent yet, but that definitely sounds fun!
Thanks for the video. However, the way you have that knife clamped is incorrect. The L hand one isn’t making full contact with the flats and will skew the angle. Move both clamps to one side of the centre pivot point and secure the blade so the clamps are nearly touching each other. Also, work on just one side to achieve a full-length burr before flipping.
I appreciate the advice buddy! Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you. What is the smallest blade length you are able to clamp with the stock clamps?
Looks amazing
Thank you!!!
very cool brother!! always love your content Brian! BP Custom Knives ROCKS!!! \m/ \m/
Thanks man I appreciate it!! My name is Brandon by the way ❤️❤️🤙🙏
What clamp/clamping technique do you use for full flat grind knives with no flats? I can use the whole milled ones that ship w the unit. But just wondering if there is a better option that keeps the apex centered so when you flip sides, the angle stays the same.
That is an issue. I have the K03 and have every clamp tsprof makes. My hobby is sharpening. 90% edc knifes. Many have a full flat grind and that makes getting a solid set in the blade all but impossible. I have cut sparkplug gap gauges in 1/4's and place them like shims underneath the clamp and blade. Hold it putting pressure on one side, then flip the clamp over and use the exact same thickness to shim the opposite side. Yes, its a pain. But it's absolutely the best solution I have found. Why oh why they don't make an angled clamp I have no, and i mean no idea!!! I also use a small wooden cutting board with a notch cut out to support the clamp while I'm sharpening ( or stropping) so there's no downward movement of the clamp. Not really necessary unless you're like me and obsessed with seeing how sharp it is possible to get a blade. Anyway, just thought I'd give my 2¢. Good luck to you!
Great video. How much longer on the 150 grit with a knife that is being sharpened for the first time?
It depends on the thickness at the edge, steel, and hardness. However I was able to apex in about 3 minutes with the edge at .008” with CTS-XHP at 63 HRC
@@bpcustomknives4392 Thank you and good luck to you in your future of full time knife making.
Add a venev centaur two sided F1200 and F1500 - 15 Micron and 12.6 Micron. Then strop at 5 and 1 micron.
Do you think the cadet model could do large chef knives?
Yes it definitely can 👌
I wouldn't finish the sharpening with swipes it will take off all of the micro serration. You must sharpen edge leading or edge trailing for the best edge possible
Thanks for the tip 🤙
What is a "Toothy Edge" and what purpose does is serve?
Good question. A toothy edge is an edge that has a “bite” if you run your finger along the blade of a toothy edge it feels like it wants to grab your skin and start cutting immediately. An edge that’s too highly polished doesn’t have that same affect because the edge doesn’t have the micro serrations that a toothy edge has resulting in material gliding over the smooth apex rather than getting caught by the micro serrations and cutting.
What brand knife are you sharpening
That's a Bestech Barracuda
I suggest you the Edge Pro Diamond Matrix stones instead of the Venev's, i own both and they're definitely better (also cheaper if I'm not wrong)
They are cheaper. Close to $30 less in some instances. I’ve only ever used venev. And never really had any issues. As long as I keep them clean and flat. But since you mention this, I will be trying a Edge Pro stone in the future.
@@landscapingspecialist in not saying that Venev's are bad, they're great, I just found out that I prefere the Diamond Matrix stones
How do I keep those stones flat? Also, how often do you need to flatten them?
@@bpcustomknives4392 you need to dress them every 50-100 sharpening, there is a video on CZcams on how to dress them made by the producer
@landscapingspecialist how are they better?
f1000 is way different than an actual 1000 grit. the f400 is closer to 1000 and the f1000 is my guess closer to about 4k grit and that’s why there’s that mirror effect
You're chasing problems that don't exist yet🤣
Do you want sell me your single clamp lol, I can’t find one in stock
I’m gonna hold on to it for a little while lol 😆
Is there a way to contact you to buy some of your knives that isn't through social media? I don't have any social media but I'm really interested in your work
It failed miserably cutting the paper towel
