hey doing some internet survival school today when I get our knives scary shot stay tuned

okay so the tools needed are Nagar a stone and fall in living dc4 stone it's not to get my knife scary sharp I've already have a baseline of a sharp knife everybody's sharpen it with my dc4 stone now I'm going to take it to that next level and just make it ridiculous so there's two methods of doing this one of them is to wet my nigger a stone and rub my dc4 until it creates a mix between the two grits and agarose stone is extremely high grit so you can see it on there like a paste or slurry on my stone

so I sharpen my knife like I normally would with the nigger a stone slurry on top of it that increases the grit I always put the edge I want to sharpen towards my light source so I can see the shadow in between my bevel edge and my stone and line it up perfectly and I go lengthwise very lightly that lines up the bevel cases any waves any wavering off-center and I just slowly make my way to the top of the knife as you do that two times on each side

to the other side always be sure to wash your stone after you've used it that method is very easy just go down my knife two times each side as you do that a few times two to four times then I do one once down each side once down the right and once down the left now you keep alternating one time one time one pass one pass that creates very sharp edge but there's another way that creates a really sharp edge as well maybe even better so the second method is using my nigger is stolen itself instead of putting on agarose stone and rubbing it on to my dc4 I'm going to use the stone as always I put my my knife firmly against my chest so I have a solid foundation for my knife it's not moving around it's not wavering it's not bouncing around I'm trying to control my bevel as much as possible so i anchor my blade so my bevel I want to sharpen is to my light source as always and I slowly angle it so it lays flat on the stone which looks like this there's a shadow there and once it's seated that shadow disappears I then slowly rub my bevel and polish it very lightly constantly making sure that the angle is perfect now work my way towards the top of my neck so now my light source is facing the opposite bevel I'm ready to sharpen the opposite side and again I'm going to line it up and make a single pass these Japanese and the girl stones are extremely effective in sharpening knives and blades

okay so I'm going to repeat that a few times I'm going to do a single pass on each side I'll do that four times all right it's the last time wait is deadly sharp a little close up yeah sharp check that fellow stick out you have to remember though having a knife this sharp comes with great responsibility to use a property if mishandled you could kill yourself you can kill loved one you can kill a friend you have to be very careful with a knife that's a shark has to be treated with the utmost respect it's been mention at the native survival school I do appreciate your views in your time a knife that sharp also makes a living in the woods a whole lot easier every task you do can be a safer task because you can more easily execute it and more finely control your bevel and have perfect cuts take care have a good day
