V-SHARP freehand precision knife sharpener by Warthog (review)
V-SHARP freehand precision knife sharpener by Warthog (review) Video Clips. Duration : 17.90 Mins.
***READ ME*** This is a review of the V-SHARP freehand precision knife sharpener by Warthog that I have been testing for over 6 MONTHS, sharpening hundreds of knives razor sharp, and even hatchets, shovels, a sword, bayonets, and anything else that will take an edge, and the V-Sharp has yet to fail me. If you don't know how to sharpen knives, not good at sharpening them, or just want a quick means of putting a razor edge on knives without destorying theblade like so many other sharpeners do, than this is what you are looking for. I'm surprised at how easy it is to put a very sharp edge on a knife in just a few minutes, and the better the steel the better the edge. Whats unique about this sharpener is it sharpens both sides of the blade equally, and correctly, unlike so many of the others on the market that remove far too much metal from the blade. I like this sharpener so much that I have two of them! They work very well, the hold up great, and they are easy to use to put a razor edge on a quality knife. Buy them direct at v-sharp.com For more information on how to use the V-Sharp to sharpen knives, please see the following video page from the Mfg website showing each step. It's so well done, that we decided we didn't need to reproduce the directions in our own video. v-sharp.com

HARDWOOD CONVEX " freehand re-sharpen existing "damaged convex edge"
HARDWOOD CONVEX " freehand re-sharpen existing "damaged convex edge" Tube. Duration : 25.60 Mins.
This video is about re-sharpening a Haltfors carbon (convexed) that has too much damage for a strop to re-sharpen. Using a waterstone not a mouse mat or belt sander.... This knife cost me £3.95 and is a excellent knife to practice on..... convexing a scandi knife takes longer because of the amount of steel that needs to be removed. But if you can steepen the sides while still retaining a shallow convex then what you lose to the Scandi on steepness (flat) of the sides of the bevel you gain with its thinner gentle graduation of the bevel. My favourite carving wood at the moment is spalted Beech which can be almost Oak like in its hardness..... but as yet i have never had edge roll or any type of catastrophic edge failure. To me this is proof that the convex edge is the best knife grind for hardwoods. However the Scandi is very easy to strop sharpen and stone sharpen..... The convex however is a little harder to strop sharpen but a lot harder to stone sharpen... At one end of the scale, is the knife convex, at the other is the axe convex, and all that is in between..... so if you have the tenacity to master the art of "convex sharpening" then you can literally choose the amount of convex to suit a particular tool for a particular job.
