      @@pedrohensley6639 Yes. I have the pocket stone in the video, the axe puck, scythe stone and the micro hone. In addition to serrated blades, the micro hone is awesome for my pruners and loppers I use for gardening. All top quality stones.

    This might be controversial but I hold my knife onto something stable like a table or log, then use the stone hand for the sharpening movements over top. It's a lot safer and I can actually see the polish of the edge as I'm moving. Also helps with angle control

    • @FortyTwoBlades
      @FortyTwoBlades  Před rokem +2

      Not controversial at all; just another of many techniques, and we often do so ourselves when the context lends it merit. I would not call it inherently safer or more stable, however.

    Great video. This video just caused me to discover Baryonyx Knife Company, and I found that they have a lot of other cool and interesting stones for sale that I haven’t come across anywhere else like Amazon. I’m definitely going to have to pick up some of their stones! Their prices arn’t bad either! ;-)

    I would love to see some information on the ptarmigan bench stone. Is it essentially a high quality ultra fine version of the grey stones you find at the hardware store? Or is it more like a japanese waterstone? Does it wear? If it does how fast does it?

    • @FortyTwoBlades
      @FortyTwoBlades  Před 6 lety +2

      All stones wear. The Ptarmigan has detailed information listed on its item page. It's a medium bond, so it's pretty firm compared to most water stones in that grit range, but is softer than a conventional western India stone. It's made with a high-grade white aluminum oxide similar to what most water stones are made with, not grey.

    • @FortyTwoBlades
      @FortyTwoBlades  Před rokem +1

      In general most stones will work better when lubricated. Our stones may be used with water or oil according to personal preference, or may be used dry in a pinch, but we would advise against doing *heavy* work with them dry for risk of clogging the stone with metal fines. For touchups dry is fine.

    To polish, strop a few times on finer grit and then use the back side of an old belt. Some people have used denim and even newspaper.

    • @FortyTwoBlades
      @FortyTwoBlades  Před 4 lety +1

      Yes, we're aware of these practices! But stropping is not the scope of this video. I personally use a piece of plain wood. 🙂

      Denim works especially well for me. It needs to be work jeans, though, or the cotton is too soft to do any good in the steel.

    I got this tiny pocket sharpening stone with my Uncle Henry Golden Spike, and I tried using this video for reference, but I think I'm doing something wrong. The point is super sharp but the rest of the blade is dull. I'm such a beginner to this, any advise would be nice, because I think I messed my new blade up.

    • @FortyTwoBlades
      @FortyTwoBlades  Před 4 lety +2

      You probably haven't been hitting the apex of the edge along that portion of the blade, either because you're approaching at too low of an angle, or the factory edge was overly thick, or both.

    • @FortyTwoBlades
      @FortyTwoBlades  Před 3 měsíci

      Chances are you're either failing to fully bring the edge to an apex, are rounding over your angle, or are creating an aggressively rolled edge. Check for any of those problems and it should solve the issue!

      51 and 22 microns (340 and 700 JIS), though the fine side leaves a finish more like one would expect from a 1000 grit.

    @TheUnchosenOne Před rokem

    Same stone, same knife, trying to hold the same angles and not quite getting the same results. Not doubting the stone but there have gotta be a lot of nuances here I am losing. More practice needed I suppose.

    • @FortyTwoBlades
      @FortyTwoBlades  Před rokem +3

      You can assess your edge in the following ways:
      •Firstly, hold it edge-up under bright light and look at the apex. Any reflective spots are dull and need to be sharpened until invisible.
      •Once this has been taken care of, rest the blade on the back of your thumbnail at intervals along the edge and waggle it side to side. If the edge slides in both directions, it's still dull there. If it slides in one direction but catches in the other, the edge is rolled and needs the burr cut off of the side that sticks. If it sticks in both directions it's sharp!
