Shaving with a camping knife!
March 16th, 2010 | by admin |
This shaving clip is from our “Advanced Blade Sharpening” DVD, which is a sequel to our “Introduction to Knife Sharpening.” These two DVDs offer a comprehensive guide to sharpening in which Murray Carter, Master Bladesmith and owner of Carter Cutlery, explains what you need to become an expert at sharpening knives. With this knowledge and a little practice, you will soon be able to make a knife sharp enough you can even shave with it, as Murray demonstrates here!
Some of the topics covered in the Advanced DVD are:
6-Step Sharpening Procedure
Kata-Ha Sushi Knife Sharpening
Tanto Blade Re-grinding
Achieving Defined Points
Using Stones So They Wear Evenly
Shortcomings Of Guides & Jigs
Function Of Polishing Sludge
What To Do With Serrations
Effect Of Angled Micro-Serrations On Slice
Pitting On Carbon Steeled Blades

Obviously, an idiot, Vsca. Plus, Murray is incapable of such a ruse. ctibbals is unworthy of the most basic element…oxygen.

I am not surprised Murray is an expert shaver. Shaving, like knife sharpening, is all about maintaining proper blade angle.

My post below is in response to the moronic assertions by ctibbals, that Murray is shaving off hair that is glued on with a dull knife.

I can assure you, sir, Mr. Murray is an honorable man as well as a gifted artisan and is incapable of such chicanery.

He just has a problem admitting true skill, that surpasses his own (obviously by a great deal), when he sees it. To the OP that’s an amazing edge you put on that blade. Jeez you cant buy a razor that shaves that well any more!

@ctibbals yeah…. …
@ctibbals yeah….you really are a tool. For centuries people have been shaving with a straight blade; its not unbelievable to think a trained bladesmith can sharpen a knife to a razor edge. And there is zero evidence of any glue or fake hair whatsoever.
Pretty much everything you just said has lead me to believe you are either 12 or have the mentality of a 12 year old.

@parrott15
Thanks for the info. Different people recomend different things though so I think in this case I’ll get one of each and check them out as they are sooo cheap.
But thanks anyway.

@n1ck3o7 Carbon …
@n1ck3o7 Carbon steel and stainless both take an edge equally well. However, carbon steel generally tends to be harder then stainless and is therefore harder to obtain a good edge on but keeps its edge longer. Also, You should keep a carbon steel knife coated lightly with oil when not in use(I like plain old 3 and 1 oil) and i don’t recommend storing any knife in its sheath (the sheath can hold moisture). Remember even stainless will rust in prolonged contact with. moisture.

BOGUS! All this …
BOGUS! All this proves is that it is possible to scrape-off glued-on hair with a dull knife. No repeat strokes. No missed whiskers. No nicks or cuts. And, finally, the careful preoccupation with wiping of the blade to clean it of ” whiskers” (and glue).
