The Most Comprehensive Sharpening Test Ever Done

Video Description

*Support What we do at KMTools.com At Katz-Moses Tools we believe that if it’s in our store it is in our shops. So when we wanted to bring in a sharpening system of course we had to do the most comprehensive sharpening test ever done. We used a very expensive piece of equipment that measures exact sharpness and we ran it through hundreds of tests to find out if you should strop, how often you should sharpen, which bevel angle is the best, what type of strop is best and if you’re wasting your money on expensive stones. I run you through how to sharpen correctly and common mistakes people make. Let me know what you’d like to see next!
