Cletus is a cook and that's what he does.
The clip showcases the amazing things one can do to a knife edge with a pull-through "sharpener".

Maybe i should sell my Tormek and buy one of these ?
Thanks for sharing. You made my day. :o
Holy Molly.
That is so funny... "Well, if you manage to hold your steel real steady - like my friend over there is holding the camera - then your sheet of paper will yield after you apply no more than 50 pounds of force with your newly created bludgeon".

I try to keep an open mind, and not always sound like a Tormek elitist. Building on TGB's post, as a lifelong photographer, I rarely feel comfortable without the six pound Leitz Tiltall tripod I purchased in 1979. I respect the cook's position that his sharpening technique may seem adequate for his needs. However; just like using my tripod, I believe a more refined approach to sharpening may produce longer lasting edges which are gentler on the knives. Whether maintaining my own knives or hiring a sharpener, I prefer the gentler approach.

Painful to watch.
Wow. Someone should sharpen that boy's knives to show him what sharp truly is.
