There’s a BIG difference between a sharp knife AND a Scary Sharp Knife!
If you’re around wood carvers for very long, the question will come up, “How do you sharpen your knife?”
…followed by more questions..
“Should I use a stone? What kind? Japanese water stone, Arkansas, ceramic, diamond?”
“A guy on YouTube sharpened a knife on his car window. Should I try that?”
When it comes to answering the question, “What’s the best way to sharpen a knife?”, you’ll get lots and lots of suggestions.
Most sharpening systems are:
- Expensive $$$
- Hard to use
- Difficult to maintain
- useless when it comes to producing a Scary Sharp edge!
I used to sharpen with ceramic stones. Now I sharpen differently and I get a MUCH BETTER edge!
This is how I sharpen my knives 😲
“10 Minutes to Scary Sharp!”
It’s all about the abrasive grit size!
Follow the Directions
If you’ve done woodworking or wood carving for any length of time, I don’t have to convince you of the importance of sharp tools.
With a Scary Sharp tool it takes less effort to make a cut AND the results are superior when compared to dull or moderately sharp tools.
When someone watches me carve or has seen one of my chip carving videos, often they will comment, “You make it look so easy.”
My reply is always the same. “With good technique AND a sharp knife, it’s not as hard as it looks.”
- Would you like to experience what it’s like to carve with a knife that’s really sharp?
- Are you ready to see your results improve dramatically?
- Now’s the time to create a glassy smooth cross grain cut
The Scary Sharp Sharpening Kit will do it!
Don’t take my word for it.
Hugh O said, “I am not good at sharpening knives. Not until I received this sharpening kit. I was able to get my knife scary sharp the first time I used the kit. I am very pleased with the way this worked.”
Bill L commented, ” I have been carving for many years and I am always looking for ways to sharpen my tools, knives, gouges, …I find that your sharpening kit works just as described and really does gives you a scary sharp edge, on the first try.”
Liz wrote, “This is awesome! I can’t believe the difference a scary sharp edge makes. Thank you for providing such great tools in our hands and the instructions to use them properly.”
Scary Sharp! Guaranteed!
I’ve tried them all and this system is by far the best sharpening tool I have ever used. I sharpen all my knives with it and use the strop for polishing.

I agree, my knifes have never been sharper!
I agree, this procedure gives great results. My only problem is getting a burr with the 1200 grit abrasive. When I have that problem I will either use a 600 grit, or use a fine ceramic stone. After that, I can finish with the 4 grits and have a very sharp knife.
I really need to learn the sharpening of my knives… some of the knives are still sharp after my late father (more than 21 years without using them), but some still needs to me sharpened. I will try this procedure, thanks!
sorry … needs to BE sharpened…
One question I have that is not addressed in the video: now that I have my scary sharp edge, properly honed on the strop, and assuming I consistently re-strop the blade to keep that edge, is there ever a reason to go back to the silicon carbide?
The only reason to return to the Sharpening Board is if honing does not restore the Scary Sharp edge. At that point you can return to the Board and restore the edge.
