    I’ve practiced for about 3 or 4 years until I got it right. I will say that it’s definately worth learning to sharpen your knives freehand. I dont regret spending countless hours and hours just learning the angles, how to steady your hands, and most of all listening to the sound of the knife dragging across the stone. Those you have done it for a while will agree that you can tell a lot just by listening to the sound and whether it produces a nice clean sound or a rough one.

    what about the one to the left of the diamond stone? the little handheld one?

    if you know what your doing a carbide sharpener is good ,i don’t know why you said not to use honing oil ,its the best thing to use, i have for 30 years and every one of my blades you can shave your face with.i would bet my sharpening skills against yours any day.

    He had a video about it I believe.

  6. REACHNODDY on April 12, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    Yeah mate great right there with you wish I got mine for that price lol.

    hey ive sharpened my knives mainly with the sharpmaker and never purchased a nice benchstone, but would you reccomend possibly using a stone for dull knives than finishing on the sharpmaker, or possibly just the stone. Oh and at the moment between the sharpmaker and strop i can put a pretty nice edge on a blade. Any input would help.



  8. mickstarify on April 12, 2021 at 11:35 pm

    Just buy a cheap one for that specific purpose



  9. 58 Powermaster on April 12, 2021 at 11:35 pm

    Thanks Jeff!!!!!



  10. Blake Gonzalez on April 12, 2021 at 11:35 pm

    I have one on the kits from smith.



  11. brad swaim on April 12, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    buy a cheapo beater haha



  12. Mexorcist on April 12, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    Hey Jeff, could you do a video on how to use a sharpening/wet stone?… I think I’ve lost a few blades (cheapo’s don’t worry) to bad technique. Thanks! keep up the great vids.



  13. xjsnake on April 12, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    Go to his channel page and search "sharpening" he has videos covering freehand as well as many popular "kits"



  14. Agendaman2 on April 12, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    Jeff, why not make a video how to sharpen our knives properly? If anyone, I’d listen to you, sire. Too many techniques to sift through!



  15. 11ste999 on April 12, 2021 at 11:44 pm

    Good advice/ information



  16. ima4ster on April 12, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    A round edge?



  17. OptimusSkiver on April 12, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    But Jeff, I am going to ask the obvious question here: What if you love all of your knives and can’t live with rounding out the edge while practicing your technique to sharpen?



  18. lkopbia on April 12, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    I hav that exact stone and it doesnt take any metal off no matter what i try so i got a set of three real stones and they work perfect



  19. Spencer .Lane on April 12, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    already has a lot of videos on multiple different methods



  20. Wil Christensen on April 12, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    i practiced sharpening my cheap knife free hand so much now its blade is recurved



  21. Mrcaffinebean on April 12, 2021 at 11:49 pm

    I have the trihone it works but only when paired with stroping.



  22. Potyo on April 12, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    Isn’t interesting to you. The world doesn’t revolve around you. Some people, me included, really enjoy most of the content he uploads.



  23. biblesnbarbells on April 12, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    Thanks for the tips! Anthony.



  24. Cayden Poe on April 12, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    Thanks Jeff I know how to properly sharpen my knifes now.



  25. Ray Hicks on April 12, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    Thanks for the great tips. Most people I know would buy all that other stuff and then ruin their blades with it.



  26. toothANDclaw13 on April 12, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    The Lowes where I live sucks. Every time I look for anything knife related, shit out of luck.



  27. Kuwa on April 12, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    free hand sharpening is easy and just use dishsoap or water like he said



  28. Billy Innes on April 12, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    How do u have the balls to film in the store I give u credit. Do people look at you. Do you ask permission.



  29. camp_r. on April 12, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    lol i just got off of work at Lowes and I had a flashback when the lady came on the intercom… i need sleep… I own the Arkansas stone and personally it is not the greatest. the next one i get will be diamond



  30. donkyuhbuhts540 on April 12, 2021 at 11:59 pm

    Nice vid jeff. Only 301 views? Lol jk 😛



  31. cvbpo on April 12, 2021 at 11:59 pm

    i use the Arkansas stone myself never use an diamond ones but i was told they work great



  32. Guy Noble on April 13, 2021 at 12:00 am

    I saw that stuff and just kept on walking..



  33. Justin Sadler on April 13, 2021 at 12:02 am

    What do you think about that tri-hone thing under the pocket sharpener?



  34. cheeseshoes on April 13, 2021 at 12:03 am

    the ad was longer than the video



  35. godofimagination on April 13, 2021 at 12:03 am

    damn i bought the tri hone for my machete.



  36. 397pollo on April 13, 2021 at 12:03 am

    i use a gatco sharpening system then do some stropping with my leather boots



  37. bill bob on April 13, 2021 at 12:04 am

    i am finally starting to get the sharpmaker down really well. i use a 0350 and can get to a hair whittling (subjective what hair whittling is) edge with the standard stones not the UFs and no strop.



  38. Weapons Education on April 13, 2021 at 12:06 am

    I like how you jump around with new ideas, thanks



  39. KorieG on April 13, 2021 at 12:06 am

    Good tips…Good advice! Later…



  40. A H on April 13, 2021 at 12:06 am

    This is a fantastic video! Very useful and practical .. Keep up the good work



  41. Garrett Jdbe on April 13, 2021 at 12:09 am

    I use the Smith’s Tri hone. It is awesome.



  42. Dale Reynolds on April 13, 2021 at 12:09 am

    I like just about everything he does and find it interesting. So, yea, it really just isn’t interesting to you.



  43. lifted0422 on April 13, 2021 at 12:10 am

    go to the home depot lowes sucks



  44. shurdi3 on April 13, 2021 at 12:10 am

    Won’t carbide be good for sharpening let’s say that little back part of the blade that hasn’t been sharpened before



  45. Jeff on April 13, 2021 at 12:15 am

    Yea jeff good vids latley. Woot woot



  46. TheNinjaollie on April 13, 2021 at 12:15 am

    well, free hand sharpening isnt really that hard. maybe i was just lucky, but i got it right first time, its kinda straight forward really.



  47. JackedLobster on April 13, 2021 at 12:17 am

    I completely agree with your opinion on the carbide cutters, but until i picked up a WorkSharp, one of those brass knuckle looking ones worked really well for my machetes.



  48. bandit2443 on April 13, 2021 at 12:18 am

    Good advice…



  49. Joey Sullivan on April 13, 2021 at 12:18 am

    my dad works there and we got those for very little money. lowes is clearing out there knives and you can get nice knives for next to nothing!!



  50. TheWilderness333 on April 13, 2021 at 12:19 am

    Dude, I’ve stood exactly there and thought through all those options not knowing what to get. Your video was super helpful and practical! Thanks for sharing it, good idea too. 🙂
