Brownie method of sharpening on the Spyderco Sharpmaker

[Riverpigusmc]

Looks like you use more angle than straight vertical on the blade

Thank you sir. Very well done video. I am still trying to get comfortable with knives to the point that will be confident in maintaining the knife and the edge. Your video is very informative and of great help to me. Thanks

You weren't using the safety guards...I'm telling!

I haven't used the guards for over a decade, they just get in the way of proper sharpening

I was just going to ask you what degree on the Sharpmaker you use....?.... As well as I wanted to mention that I tried two knives tonight with your method, They came out pefect (well as perfect as I can make them as of now)! I did try my ladies folder by turning the edges of the stones inward (> <) towards each other and that worked well also. Have you tried it that way?

I used that method on serrated for years, but the method I demo'd will do serrated as well, so it's one way for everything

Comes with a LOT of practice to understand the geometry of each blades edge profile. I do use a more obtuse angle than the directions allow for on most of my long blades due to the convex edge [ not seen on most folders ].

Good eye sir.
