It's not often I sharpen a chisel, but when I do, I prefer waterstones :D

Awesome video. :D And this, folks, goes to show that sharpness is about a fully-apexed edge and a fully-removed burr, independent of the edge angle or geometry, which affect cutting performance but not sharpness. A very instructive vid. LOL, knifenut... but that guy is just gonna take the chisel and go hacking at wallpaper and nails again, right? He won't appreciate that edge. :D :D :D

When are the pocket knife vids coming out? Can't wait to see those.
 
His comment, "Man! I could just push it through wood, didn't even need my hammer"

But yeah, likely to be destroyed in a few days.

It's made, just gotta upload to YouTube. Probably do that today.
 
I work with wood and use diamond plates for roughing and water stones for final honing of my chisels and plane irons.
