Man you really need to lay off the coffee man. That just doesn't seem healthy. Either way my perfected method of sharpening is stone in hand. Bench is second. Stone is hand is better with the smaller stones, I've found. Keep up the good work.
Oh I'm quite healthy! Just more caffeine in me than calories at that point in the day, but that's usually also the most open time in my schedule to take these quick videos. :p
Question: i have similar stone but it have 2 courses can i still use this same method or do i just need to use one side first on move to finer side after that?
@@FortyTwoBlades i mean that you used whole stone to benefit sharpening prosess ,so my point was can i do it too or do i have to use only one side first and move to other side ?
I'm not sure what you mean? The purpose of a stone is to remove metal from the blade. How much is going to depend on the qualities of the particular stone and how much pressure you use/the number of strokes you apply. It shouldn't remove a lot of steel unless you actually try to. The stone used in the video is a fine stone, and while it's fast cutting for its grit, it is best used for maintaining an already-established bevel, and so would require many, many strokes to remove enough metal to reduce the blade width to any meaningful degree.
Pardon--I thought this comment was on the video I did about sharpening serrated knives with a scythe stone. The knife in this video is a Friedrich Dick 3" ProDynamic paring knife. It's like a Victorinox with a harder heat treatment and better ergonomics.
Great looking sharpening stone. Thanks
haha funny ending... thank you so much for this video! I accidentally bought a stone for scythe instead for a knife.

I'm curious did you have to soak the Stone in water ? Thanks.
It isn't strictly necessary, but it helps keep the pores of the stone from clogging up with metal fines. :)

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but generally with dual grit stones you'll start with the coarse side before progressing to the fi e side.

@@FortyTwoBlades my stone is splitted half in middle other side is 100 and other 240
@@drackpower must be a SiliFix Duo by Zische then. Correct; you would need to use one grit only, then the other.
@@FortyTwoBlades yes, thanks for helping me out :)
Does it eat alot of steel off the blade ?

its that a fine or coarse scythe stone?
Extra fine.
What knife & stone? Doesn't look like you carry this stone now, as it looks finer than your Arctic Fox.
It's an Arctic Fox stone, just stained from use. The knife is a Byrd Meadowlark Rescue.
It's not a Byrd. That looks like a fixed blade, maybe a black handled Victorinox Utility Knife, or something similar.

Do you ever register your stone with a diamond plate?
When required, yes.
You're awesome. Looks like you are ready for the economic collapse.
