By the time you did all that work I could sharpen all your knives and mine.

Using a guided stone is fine, though not necessary after one puts in sufficient practice. i have one problem with this video and potentially a second: 1. WD-40 is a poor lubricant for sharpening, it will work for a while but soaks into the stones pores and ultimately gums up, clogging the pores - use a proper lubridant. Traditional wet stones can use either water or a non-gumming oil, but once oil is used even once it will remain in the stone's pores where it will repel water from the surface, so once oil is used it should be used subsequently. Water also works well and with 'Japanese water stones' is the only lubricant that should be used. 2. Take care with the direction of strokes. With fine hard stones such as Arkansas or alumina ceramic, etc., one should stroke against the edge, as if the edge were trying to shave the stone - this is to avoid forming a burr. With water stones and leather strops, stroke with the edge to avoid cutting the softer abrasive surface.

It's amazing how many people waste time on things that are so simple to do and even more so at risk of an accident when making this movement of their hand against a sharp knife blade.

I love looking at amateurs experimenting with a slight degree of success, save yourself the time and learn to sharpen the knife by hand. So much more rewarding.

I've been a butcher for 30 years and have never needed a contraption like this a belt grinder and a high quality steel is all I've ever needed to keep all my blades like razors..

The time needed for preparing this tool is longer than the time I usually need for stone sharpening my knives and razors

Excellent idea. The angle is important.

Hi guys! Cool idea, but WD-40 is a penetrating oil and is made to penetrate metal. It penetrates into rusty bolts and makes them easier to remove. But it stays in the metal. So even after you wipe it off, it is still in the metal. And if you then use that knife on your food, you’re poisoning yourself and your family. Read the warning label. Or just buy a can and experiment by shooting it into your mouth. See how you feel after. That would be an accelerated experiment, but just using that knife will give you trace amounts in your body. Any chef can tell you that it would be better to use olive oils or something else non-toxic. Also once WD-40 is used on your sharpening stone, you should never use it on a kitchen knife again because the toxic oil is so far onto the pours of the stone. Please be careful. . . Best wishes to you all.

Great idea, Lansky sells a knife sharpener based on exactly those principles. You could always use an old leather belt fastened in a bench vice for the final polish to the blade!

Yes sir, that indeed is sharp, well done.

Amazing amount of work to simply avoid common sharpening techniques.

so many other solutions that are easier, safer and quicker

This is Brilliant! Thanks for the share. Not everyone can free style sharpen

This is both simple and genius. I have seen so many of those type of sharpener but using a full size stone makes life a lot easier. Thank you 😊

Bravooooò prijatelju, odavno nisam pogledao nešto ovako, Sretno uvek prijatelju u daljnjem radu

One of my pet hates: countersink screws in non-countersink holes.

the screws will destroy the holes in the wood plate after few times so i suggest to replace with screws for metal and glue nuts to the bottom

Straightforward technique that mimics a couple of commercial sharpening systems that work the same way, the one difference here being the absence of a way to shield yourself from coming into contact with the blade accidentally. So watch your grip!

Good job! Now that you've made your sharpener, It will be Much faster to sharpen knives in the future!!!

That's a really good idea but can I ask when you finished drilling the hole was your drill bit sharper?

I like the idea but that is a whetstone not an oil stone. You should spray it down with water not WD40. You will ruin the stone.

Mt grandad used a scythe to cut grass. He carried a stone to sharpen it frequently. He said stroke the blade one direction each side. Never rub a stone up and down a blade. I use his advice as he was a countryman. Born 1967 in fact died 1955. I am 76 only but my mother was 42 when I was born so that is how I came to know him doing jobs.

Semplice eppure efficace almassimo.Bravo!

Genio, terminas en la nasa

"Wow, this video is a game-changer! I've always struggled with sharpening my knives, but this tutorial made it seem so easy.

The key lesson I took away is that with the right tool and technique, anyone can sharpen their knives effectively at home."

thank`s from Australia [ housewife]

I’m of the opinion this is an impressive set-up. Talk about consistency. So very simple, like all great things…Simplicity.

Perfect instruction!😁

Good idea Once made , it will last forever. Also , it a good tool for those that don't have manual skills with angles etc

"Wow! This video is a game-changer for anyone struggling to sharpen their knives. The step-by-step demonstration was incredibly clear and easy to follow. Now I can sharpen my knife like a pro in just one minute! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable tip!"

Personally, I prefer to strop the blade after every use, so it does not get dull. Sometimes you do need to use the wet stone.

Good device you made! Only thing is that it takes up more space, and I enjoy learning how to sharpen a knife on a whetstone the strict japaneese way personally. You also need a stone to make the whetstone flat every now and then, i dont have that yet tho, but going to buy one and keep sharpening knifes, its kinda fun.

Wow u built and sharpened all that under 1 minute?? Wow your awesome

Q. What kind of person would build this? A. Someone with waaaaaaaay too much time on their hands.

Perefektny napad ako udrzat presny uhol pri bruseni,co je velmi dolezite! Vdaka moc za tipa!

well done, genius!

NEVER clamp a whetstone in a metal vice ---directly --use cloth or leather padding to protect the stone from cracking !

Good idea. Best used with anti-cut gloves I think.

Looking from Östervåla Sweden

Génial. Merci

Cool! I can see some improvement by using two bolts and wing nuts in place of the screws so you don’t need to tighten the screws with a screwdriver every time.

Well, that was 9 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Those pivoting handle sharpeners are good. But if you just need to cut tomatoes for regular home cooking or anything, then those 'accusharp' (or clone, equivalent) portable sharpeners are amazing. 30 seconds or so, and you're done.

Als Werkzeugmacher sage ich: Grundsätzlich gute Idee, aber: Den Stein NIEMALS vor und zurück bewegen (dabei entsteht ein kleiner Grat ohne Standfestigkeit), sondern IMMER nur gegen die Schneide, genau wie eine Feile (deswegen nennen wir den in diesem Falle improvisierten Ölstein auch Schleif-Feile). Dann hat man eine saubere, standfeste Fase und spart sich die weiteren Arbeitsgänge.

I'm not building all this just to sharpen a knife.

Tried it, very sharp but WD40 flavoured tomato wasnt so hot 🥵

Great job mate! Keep up with your tech tips! Thank you for the cool video!

Super intéressant pour moi qui aimes la cuisine SURTOUT avec de bons outils, et les Couteaux font partie des plus importants. UN TRÈS GRAND MERCI POUR VOTRE INFORMATION.

Como vc faz um vídeo de 8:30 minutos para ensinar um coisa que dura 1:00 minutos

Thats my fav flavour...tomatoes with some touch of WD40..

แบ่งปันเลิฟ🥰

Buy the man a battery drill/driver!

1 minute… yeah!… 💪🏻

Nice idea with simple tools.

Con tantos especialistas en cuchillos y afilados disculpen mi ignorancia y saquenme de una duda El tomate debe cortarse con cuchillo de sierra porque ciega el filo normal o simplemente es un bulo? Por favor Iluminenme. Gracias

Thank you!

that one mimute feels like eternity

He could have learned free hand sharpening in the same amount of time given he already has the stone.

Saludos amigo excelente idea . Podrás comprar el link de la app para los grados

I used that to sharpen my lawnmower blade. 👍

How many anonymous scientists exist to make life easier for humanity. Thank you!

Germany, well done

Que mão de obra para afiar uma faca , gim de carreira.

I applaud your ingenuity However, I think you have just reinvented the wheel.

For what he spent on all of the individual components combined he could have just bought a knife sharpening kit that functions essentially the same way, but is much safer to use.

can't see why you just don't do it by hand? like thats the ways it been done for 1000's of years without issue? honestly your struggling with the screwdriver and considering the fact you could do serious damage with your method and direction of sanding id invest in Kevlar gloves if i was you!

So, a sharpened knife cuts better. Good job!

Es mucho gasto en armar eso y perdida de tiempo para afilar un simple cuchillo,,no se nesecita más que paciencia y práctica para afilar un cuchillo, "la práctica hace al maestro"

too much work

Hello, congratulations on the excellent video, very educational! Would you like to know what is the best or ideal angle for sharpening knives? BR

Great tool! I’m from Belgium 👌

great, now my food tasted better with WD40.

You made in 10 minutes videos, but it could last 30 seconds.

Thats a better tool that the expensive ones that can be bought online!

I spent £5 on a Kitchen Devil ceramic knife sharpener. It's a lot easier, more hygienic and safer to use with the added bonus that it takes a lot less work to sharpen my knives. Oh yes... I purchased it over thirty years age and it still works. If that's not value for money then I don't know what is!😊

WD 40 is not a lubricant. It's for Water Displacement. What a ridiculous idea.

Něž toto všechno vyrobím a připravím,, raději ten nůž vyhodím ,,!😂😂

Vidéo ludique très soignée. VERY NICE 💜👍

Eccellente idea nel fai da te. Della serie....come ingegnarsi per mettere a frutto risoluzioni. Complimenti all'autore

Buy a new knife.😂

Ya that’s cool but you can do the same thing with a cheap knife sharpener from Walmart bro

Frecție la picior de lemn. Decât să mă chinui atâta amar de timp pentru o improvizație că această, mai repede ascut cuțitul pe prispa de la mamaie, sau pe orice perete abraziv.

Rất tuyệt vời ❤

Amazing amount of unnecessary work just for sharpen a knife-edge 😴

joe biden approved.

This is good knowledge

Going to warp the knife eventually 😊

The cashier was more helpful than the manager 😂 Also, that's John Higgins from SNL's Please Don't Destroy

Hej jag kommer från sweden jag vore tacksam om du kunde skriva vad jag skall ha för grader på lutnigen tacksam föret svar mycket bra video 😊😊😊😊

Amazing... muito bom! gostei demais!

Congratulations: that is really good job and good trick to do the job!

genial !!!

Thank you it’s easy and simple way to sharpen knives

Ingenioso!!!

È ottimo anche per affettarsi le dita 👍🏻

A device like this has been on the market for years

Gracias por su ayuda

Great technique for sharpening knives. Give me a clap. Thank you
