Here is the full step by step video for this method of knife sharpening.

Prepare the Sandpaper

Start by taking a piece of sandpaper. Cut it to the correct size so it matches the rotating chuck of the drill machine and can wrap around it properly.

Apply the Double-Sided Tape

Wrap double-sided tape around the rotating chuck of the drill. This helps the sandpaper stick firmly and prevents it from moving while the drill is operating.

Fix the Sandpaper

Wrap the cut piece of sandpaper around the taped chuck and press it firmly until it is securely attached. Make sure it is fixed properly before turning on the drill.

Wet the Sandpaper

Apply a small amount of water to the sandpaper after it has been attached. This prepares the surface for DIY knife sharpening.

Sharpen the First Side of the Knife

Turn on the drill machine so the sandpaper begins rotating. Carefully place one side of the knife against the moving sandpaper and sharpen it evenly.

Sharpen the Other Side

Flip the knife and repeat the same process on the opposite side. Sharpen both sides evenly to achieve a balanced edge. This method demonstrates how to sharpen a knife without a sharpener using simple materials.

Test the Knife
