@tahini_dirtbag: BACK TO BASICS EP 4 - Whetstone Sharpening for beginners 🔪✨ I hope this can help a few people out, I tried to give many details/angles as possible. I'm definitely not an expert on sharpening, but this is how I personally maintain my knives with relatively little equipment. This stone is the Shapton pro 1000 which would be my baseline recommendation for anyone starting out!! The single strokes I do towards the end of the video are also my preferred method of honing my knife, rather than using a honing rod. Try and stretch out the times between when you do a full sharpening session to avoid removing too much material from your blade :) Also, I would recommend to practice this on a cheaper/ western knife (harder steel) before jumping into sharpening something made of softer metal :) #knive #sharpening #tutorial #knifesharpening #backtobasics
