I know, it seems I am stealing thread ideas but I promise, I actually logged on specifically to ask for youtube knife porn recs.

I love this channel, this video in particular seems fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVlrVjfbhfM

That there is not a knife for the kitchen...That is meant for cow decapitation! I have seen this fellow before and I too enjoy watching.

Interesting that he switches hands instead of flipping the knife. Does anybody else do that?

[cedarhouse]

I've tried being ambidextrous but it didn't work for me. I have seen others do it that way in videos.

I switch hands instead of flipping.

[Kit Craft]

No switching for me as I prefer keep my fingers...

I switch hands on wide bevels.

I like doing both while sharpening. Switching hands or flipping on one side. Either way feels fine and the angle remains the same. Generally, I lay my knives flat on the stone or extremely close, depending on the knife.

Yes, it gives me consistent viewing of the blade angle. I feel my motion is also more consistent than when I flip the knife.

When i first started sharpening the concept of sharpening was pretty easy for me to understand so i did no real research. I would change hands because it felt natural ... But being that i wasn't getting the edges i wanted i started to do some research, and all the experts said to keep the same hand and flip the knife..... This was extremely difficult for me... I had a lot of trouble keeping a consistent angle on the left side of the knife after that.... So much so i wanted to give up sharpening honestly. I worked for months almost a year to get comfortable and consistent results on the left side.Obviously now in hindsight other than one basic rule.....i.e. Hold a consistent angle.... Its all up to the sharpener and what works for you. Lol wish i had found this site like 9 years ago.

I'm a hand switcher

I mostly flip but do on occasion switch hands given the task at hand. I'm definitively more consistent with flipping though for general sharpening.

[Gregory27]

I've been flipping the blade, but maybe I'll have to try switching hands. The motions feel more natural to me with the edge facing away. Frankly, I don't like sharpening as much half the time, when I flip the blade.
