Other than your sharpening stone rod being far too fucking long, it looks practical. You could improve the ascetic, of course, and maybe give it legs but honestly, it looks like it works and that's what matters.

Just get a ferro rod. Sharpen while you start your campfire. Kill two birds with one stone.

what knife is that sitting on the vise there?

thanks, it looks cooler in your picture

>>1414130
I give it a yes out of maybe.

the fucking clutter man
un organized people are irritating

This is the reason I tell people who have no wrist muscle memory to respect the fact they'll round their shitty knives off without learning how to sharpen.

This is a good rig if you have no previous learning.

Get a protractor/digital level and measure out angles, mark them down on your yoke at various level indicators. That way when you're going to sharpen something like a machete, you can ramp up the angle and kitchen knives all the way down to a much steeper angle.
Not a necessity but if you're looking for improvements and it works so far, its pretty good.

OCD maybe Clean and organized definitely
I just love when the only come back a last cluttered slob is OCD! Not everyone can be a professional and take pride in anything they do Yet anyone can be a fucking slob. Your shop looks like shit and that knife sharpener is a joke Loser

Is there a good way of measuring the angle on a knife?

>>1417443
well I would suggest one of those digital protractors that are fairly cheap these days (and acccurate) but I'm not sure you would have a way to hold it on the knife blade.

>>1417443
Veritas does a Bevel Gauge. Never used one, tho.

>>1419128
would those angles even be low enough, though?
looks like those gauges are for chisels, not knives.

>>1419254
They say it starts at 5°. But, again, not an endorsement, as I've never had one.

your ferro rod is too soft, it would take out too much metal.Op you need something like pic related its harder and makes a razor sharp edge
