RUSSIA vs USA Knife Sharpener? TSPROF vs Lansky, Wicked Edge, KME, Tormek T-8, Work Sharp Ken Onion

SRS

Did you ever try the Hapstone system after you did the video?

´The Lansky set is awfully wiggly, the clamp should be fixed to some base. But that's obviously the idea behind the KME and TS Prof.

why are you yelling so loud? Don't you have a mic?

RUSSIA!!! UKRAINE SUCKS!!!

Best sharpener 👐🔪🗿

I thought the test was to throw a silk scarf in the air and let it land across the blade and fall in 2... that's what the samurai next door told me

What do you do with your left over sharpeners?

Worksharp professional adjust with custom lapping film stones is the way to go.

Hello. There's a somewhat new knife sharpener that I'm wondering if you've tested yet, or may have received testing request. They are "rolling knife sharpener". They state that one can sharpen "anything" with it. I'm interested in one but would like to know if they're even worth it. Please advise, ty.

Please explain how blade edge durability has anything to do with the sharpener

man your vids are awesome

Awesome video!! Thank you so much for making it!

A pleasure to have sharp knives

Been a while since I messaged you.
I want to say I really enjoyed this video, cause it brought back memories of my dad sharpening knifes. I believe if you would've tried a test on his sharpened knifes it wouldn't or very little show any pressure. You could go very slow up your arm with a knife he sharpened and the hair's would just fall off your arm. You couldn't even put your finger on it and it would cut you.
He sharpened a surgical steel knife for my cousin and it held a edge for seven years skinning all types of animals even deers.
When I was little I was using his knife and almost cut my finger off and never felt it. If not for the bone I would've.
Wish he was still here I would've sent you a knife he sharpened.
I've only heard off one other old guy that could do it so good. He's gone now to.
He tried to show me but just couldn't get the hang of it.

Can you do a Horl vs Tumbler test. Which one is best and can it beat the others you tested.

Thanks

I have personally tried some version of almost all of these systems. For my money the best is the Chef's Choice Trizor (not reviewed here). It is quite effective, requires almost no setup, and is nearly idiot proof. The easiest is the Horl German system (not reviweed here) and with a little effort it can also get you as sharp or sharper than any of them. It is fairly easily the quickets to get out and use and pack back up. The Ken Onion Worksharp is also great but not idiot proof and the knives can be permanently damaged fairly simply.

When my finances gets a bit better. I'm getting a KME. Great job as always.

I have been using TSPROF Profile K03 for 2 years. It allows you to sharpen longer blades than Blitz, although not as technologically advanced and compact. Yes, it was expensive, but it was worth it :)
Thanks for the review!

(pssst: why are we whispering?)

The Tormek test is clearly not serious. How can you test anything if you don't have the recommended knife-sharpening accessory ?

You might have mentioned the Spyderco Sharpmaker too. Not very sophisticated, but for my less expensive kitchen knives it puts on a good edge and doesn’t take off a lot of steel in doing so. For my high-end (Chaves, Mordax, Benchmade, Hogue) folders and autos, I would only use the Wicked Edge. You featured the most expensive model, but you can get less expensive WIcked Edge models that are just as accurate and easy to use. Expensive, but as you demonstrated, the best and again, you get accuracy with a minimal loss of steel.

U did it again bro. Super video love it

That ASMR section at the end caught me off guard ngl 😂 but would love to see some more in the future 👍

В России заточные приборы от TSPROF, "Profil" и "Blitz", это одни их самых лучших массовых (то есть не кастомных) приборов для заточки ножей с любым профилем клинка: клин, "линза" (конвекс), сканди.
Для мелких правок рекомендуются мусаты, особенно от Лански.
А задроты используют водные камни. Также некоторые пользуются наждачной бумагой разной степени абразивности.
Неважно, чем ты точишь нож, главное - чтобы ты умел это делать, инструмент лишь помогает этого добиться с большим комфортом 😁

i just wanted to see the TSPROF in action but ended up watching the whole vid

Very informative video...as are thr other installments. But im not quite sure you did the tormek justice....unless you just didnt mrntion in video. The standard stone is roughly 220-240 grit....from there you are supposed to use the dressing stone which creates a 1000 grit surface...from there you go to leather wheel....im certain if that progression is used the outcome will be different....just my .02

Bruh look at his arms bro is the hulk. I wanna be like u my man

his test's are so scientific, it's insane!!

I have the kme deluxe kit, works great.

I have a KME a worksharp( original not ken onion) wicked edge field kit and some others. The KME is my favorite especially for rhe money. It is USA made by a vet. The customer service is outstanding.

Man that was awesome… I love knives, I’d like to build a parang machete. Thanks for the video.

I love both the test methodology and the commentary. For the commentary, I like the speed (its like 2x speed) and the excitement when there is a superior result. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to more reviews of stuff I’d like to buy.

Would be interested to see how good the global minosharp round whetstone sharpener compares. All my kitchen knives are from global.

Awesome review, but I would of loved to see the Edge Pro system included.

Honestly when it comes to knifes and cutlery, Germany and Japan have the most amazing qualities

F*CK that was fun!
And, I always learn something.

Honestly any professional working with knives has no time messing with clamps and screws etc. Even if the system can achieve razor sharpness its just impractical.

That Russian one looks beautiful and is a work of art but my God it seems like 0 thought was put into the actual end use. It just seems overly complex and annoying to use. You should not have to get out a digital protractor to know what your sharpening angle is for your ~$400 sharpening system, nor measure your stone thickness. Sharpening is fun for me personally, but it can quickly become a chore if you have multiple knives to maintain on an on going basis. When I sit down to sharpen, I want my system to have as little extra annoyance as possible. Although, if anything I think it's safe to say the Russian one shows how ridiculously overpriced the wicked edge is. If they can sell basically a solid block of aluminum with all that milling work and nice big diamond stones for $380, then I don't know what universe the wicked edge is worth it's $900 asking price.

I’ve just bought the Fdick Dual RS 150 Sharpener Machine ! How do you think ?

That ‘knife out of scrap metal’ bit was such a joy to watch.

you helped me decide on the KME. Thank you!

i made my own sharpener works great i can shave hair after

Whoa you went ASMR in this one! lol

I highly respect this channel and thank you for all your hard work to leed good ol boys like me what will help get a job done. I love me some work sharp so I'm happy to see them represented here. I'd love to see the TSPROF vs the Pro Precision Adjust and more of the angle sharpeners

Serrated knife sharpener comparison?

A couple years back you sold me on the wicked edge: I truly wanted to buy once and cry once on a lifetime sharpener. 2 years later I am still extremely pleased with the wicked edge, and so is the wife with her kitchen knives.
