Anyone know where I can find a video of someone sharpening a knife?

[TheMightyGoat]

I've read all the guides, I've asked questions, I've talked to people... but I've never actually seen anyone other than myself sharpen a knife, and I would like to. I haven't tried searching google for something like this yet, but that's because I want to see one that's "knife nut approved", as I assume it would be if reccomended to me here.

If you buy the Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker(Which is what I use to sharpen my knives), it comes with an instruction manual and a video showing you how to use it step by step. In fact Sal Glesser(president of Spyderco) is the man showing you how to do it. You can go on over to the Spyderco forum and ask him about it yourself if you want. (Either the Spyderco home forum or the one on bladeforums.)

Razor Edge Systems sells a video, too. I don't have it, but I've heard it is pretty good. I have their 8" coarse and ultra fine hones and large and small guides. The hones work great for me (with or without the guides), but are not as fast or consistent as my Sharpmaker.
