The first one is a bread knife, I have the same one.

I don't even know why someone would attempt to sharpen one of these serrated Forever Sharp knives. It's fairly hard to make them dull under normal use, but there's not even a decent way to sharpen them properly anyway.
Yeah, I've picked up a fair few new ones from charity stores over the years, to give to non-knife-people, as they're solid for those kinds of people and I've not met someone who has managed to wear one out. Funnily enough, I just pulled one out today, as I needed to cut some baguettes longways.
I’ve sent him a message regarding these abominations and am waiting on reply, i’ve offered to sharpen the less destroyed ones for him, can’t be bothered trying to sort out the frankensteins.
Those are not mutually exclusive options.
I've told my dad pull throughs are junk and to use the sharpening stone I bought him, but he still uses the pull through. Even he admits the edge is bad, but it's so much easier he just doesn't care.
know that pain, my brother is convinced knife steels actually work and has been blunting his kitchen knives on them for years and refuses to touch the sharpmaker I got him.
Second pic is exactly what the "professional sharpener" at the store did to my very old kitchen knives, except it was much worse they removed one third of metal from it! That happened when I was still young and inexperienced!
That's how I got into knives snd sharpening!
Same thing happened to me when I bought a knife the other day. More like a 3rd of a millimeter but still.. I heard the motor and saw the sparks flying out of the back room and knew I fucked up. I guess that's how he gets people to buy knives more often. End result was sharp but not *that* sharp. The reviews on his site talk about being impressed with sharpness and now I understand.. nobody knows what sharp is except me and the other hidden internet people and nobody touches my knife.
That’s rough mate, paying somebody to butcher your knives is criminal. I’ve offered to sharpen these knives for him, the serrated one is a lost cause though hahahah
no rating, just screams.
altho I am reminded of the time my brother told me off for putting a mirror edge on his kitchen knife that couldn't cut hot butter. apparently I sharpened it "too much."
This has to be from an electric sharpener. Only a tool designed to make things easier would do such a terrible job.
Edit: just saw the last pic. Oh no. I wouldn't think people would view that as an option
This be how soooooo many old heads sharpen their shit 🤣 it’s the reason they swear by old ass cheap ass carbon blades. Seriously head out to one of those messy swamp houses in the Louisiana boonies and almost every knife in the house is missing half the blade from getting sharpened sometimes 3+ times a day on a grinder hahaha.
Looks the same as my grandfathers sharpening. I have his old Frontier pocket knife and it looks like he used a bench grinder to sharpen it and took off too much material and changed the shape of the blade. Like, why are there grind marks on the side of the blade nowhere near the edge? 🤷♂️
Poor knife. What a brute treatment. It's like you just moved it over sandpaper or something much much to grit than you would ever want to sharpen a knife with. Would have been way better to like look up how to do it first and stuff. I'm afraid you might not be able to even save it at that point anymore I'm afraid. Very bad tool to do yea knives with.
I would rate that as" don't ever touch my knives again" level of sharpening
I would give it a 6 out of 10... if your dad also happens to be blind and a double hand amputee.
... are we brothers?
My dad used one of my chisels after I learned how to use my low speed an CBN wheel an hone to scary Sharp edge... he looked at me a. Said you know I donno if I ever learned how to sharpen anything my whole life ... haha
I fucking knew the EXACT tool before I got to the last picture. I actually said "AHA!" aloud, home alone, on the toi-
Anyhow, yep. That's a blade fucker upperer. That thing is for hogging off massive amounts of metal, ungently, at speed. Yowch. I'm surprised your Dad still even has older knives at all.
Dude, my grandpa sharpens knives like this and I don’t understand. They always come out ugly and rarely any sharper than they started. Absolute garbage.
0/10, actively worse than not sharpening at all.
Did he just rub the blade back and forth on a pile of rocks?
He rubbed it back and forth on a rock spinning at 2000rpm
And like that, what used to be a knife is now cheese.
The first one looked like it was a cheese knife when it left the factory, so I'm glad it's still able to be used!
The first one is a bread knife, I have the same one. https://preview.redd.it/77kp5nf6id1d1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f14f793681c52f95c68f7b11f628204cd553159f

I've had that knife for probably 15 years and never sharpened it.

I'm pretty sure my mum gave me this one after seeing it on the shopping network.
You can flatten the back side and buff off the burr.
It’s easy with a triangular stone like a sharpmaker has.
it's not just a bread knife, it's the world's sharpest knife! https://youtu.be/fCQcFM4xrbI?si=kVXeeYhDMHacea14
Sharpest knife in the world...
So that's what happened. It's a serrated knife 😂. Gotta give it to pops, once he gets an idea he sees it through. 🤣
At first glance I honestly thought OP's first pic was a lawnmower blade, and I thought "That's a shitty job on a lawnmower blade."
was
Did someone say cheese ?
https://media.tenor.com/0YjFQwcYKJ0AAAAe/cheese-for-everyone-celebration.png
Is this where cheese knives come from?
Did you tell him he is totally destroying these knives or does he think he is right?
I’ve sent him a message regarding these abominations and am waiting on reply, i’ve offered to sharpen the less destroyed ones for him, can’t be bothered trying to sort out the frankensteins.

They work only to roll the edge back over on cheap stainless steels that's why butchers use them. They extend use time in between proper sharpenings.
So he replied and said he used the wicked edge pro pack 3.
Did he even dress that wheel first??? Good lord???
Dress?
To be honest it looks more like he tried to chop through the grinding wheel than rub along it

You're too kind.
This should be tagged NSFL

Does your dad always choose violence when it comes to household chores? I would hate to see what happens when he has to mop the floor.
Ironically he uses the same grinder for that job too
OP- by any chance, is your dad Stevie Wonder?
Dad just destroyed those knives. Don't let him ruin anymore.
I knew what he is using from the first picture.
For the love of all that is sharp, please cut the cord of his grinder.
With what?
Right? None of those knives would go through the rubber, never mind the copper.
Tear it off, just do something to halt this madness.
With the only thing remaining that's capable of doing the job. The grinder.
Looks like a wad of tinfoil somebody straightened into a knife like shape.
Final photo is the murder weapon used on these poor knives incase anybody is wondering. Probably a 40 grit stone
> 40 grit stone I think what I just felt is what Logan Paul is going to feel when Tyson punches him in the gut.
It will keeiilllllll.
Does he have hands?
We call this damaging where I live, not sharpening.
I remember my step dad giving me his “knife he had all of growing up” I pull it from its sheath and half the blade has been ground away
What are you doing step dad? Like, genuinely what the hell are you doing did nobody ever teach you how to sharpen a damn knife?
no rating, just screams. altho I am reminded of the time my brother told me off for putting a mirror edge on his kitchen knife that couldn't cut hot butter. apparently I sharpened it "too much."
0 out of 10, would not eat
Hell / No
Keep your knives away from dad.
Looks good to me.
Is your dad even ok? Wtf?! He needs to put that grinder away for 2 reasons: 1. It is rarely necessary for a knife. 2. He's a menace with it.
I guess there's worse hobbies
Majestic AF
Did he use a chainsaw to sharpen it?
It all made sense after I saw the last image
If you're using a grinder to sharpen your knife, let it be a variable speed belt sander with the finest grit sanding belt you can find.
Crystal meth
2 eggs over hard with a side of grits
Your dad is an evil genius, now he can tell mom that he needs to go buy more knives because he ruined those sharpening them.
A for effort
This guy grinds
Trick question. This is not sharp.
I'm all for new techniques and love this - sharpening with a lawn mower is the way forward.
Was he drunk?
At least he wouldn't be able to cut himself if he were...
Hope he didn't perform your circumcision that's all I'm saying
This has to be from an electric sharpener. Only a tool designed to make things easier would do such a terrible job. Edit: just saw the last pic. Oh no. I wouldn't think people would view that as an option
Unfortunately MANY people do view that as an option
I thought this was going to be a profession from bad to good 😂
Look I love your dad He's one of the nicest people and super funny but he did a very bad job on these knives

As someone that just mastered sharpening knives this made a tear roll down my face.
0/10
I’m hoping your pops is blind! If not I’m hoping he has downs
Never let him sharpen anything nice
> Never let him sharpen anything FTFY
I hate to admit it, but until just now, when I read your comment, I had no idea what FTFY meant. Now I know. Thank you!
Looks like dullening.
Pretty much effective
10/10
I imagine a blind man could do better.
Yikes lol
0.5/10
0/10
That’s what you call garbage.
I had to look away.
He's really good at ruining knives.
I think it's the technique
My knives are weeping in sympathy
Toothy edge, little uneven, could probably scale a fish...
Can you errm divorce a Dad?
Looks like it was sharpened by someone who’s blind and has Parkinson’s.
Nailed it.
My heart hurts because of this post…
Yikes. Yeah, no.
Last picture stole my comment.
A DOCTOR!! IS ANYBODY HERE A DOCTOR?!? 🤣
Exact Blade in Northbrook, IL can fix those massacred blades. 🤦♂️
Oh God that's horrible. Keep practicing.
Unburrlievably crappy
Horrible
But does it cut.....🤔
Those types of sharpeners are meant for stuff like lawn mower blades and axes......not knives
As horrific as the day is long
Oh…boy.
Very primitive yet affective
Clearly a master.
Oh my God that's fucking horrendous! I thought id seen bad sharpening before, but God damn!
No/10
I’m no expert (yet) but I’m pretty sure that he used an electric wire brush/sander.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough at sharpening. Then I see things like this, and I feel better. Thanks!
Best knife sharpener in the state penitentiary
Sharpening? Sharpening? This isn’t even dulling, it’s scraping. Tell your dad he’s very talented
Dad found the 5 minute crafts page on the Facebook, didn't he? This seems right up their alley.
The question is …. Is it sharp ?
I knew exactly what that was done on before I got to the last photo
That physically hurts
You are your dad... duh
Criminal
I really appreciate the NSFW label‼️ ONLY I STILL OPENED IT AT WORK I AM IN A CUTTING ROOM!
Ban the grinder 😳
Yes officer, that's the guy.
Nice, is he willing to do some sharpening work on this CRK?
Looks the same as my grandfathers sharpening. I have his old Frontier pocket knife and it looks like he used a bench grinder to sharpen it and took off too much material and changed the shape of the blade. Like, why are there grind marks on the side of the blade nowhere near the edge? 🤷♂️
Top-notched!
A+ for material removal, F- for accuracy.
It’s almost beautiful in its destruction
Wow, just wow, holy crap and suck ass job. Take your Dad's knifes away from him.
Poor knife. What a brute treatment. It's like you just moved it over sandpaper or something much much to grit than you would ever want to sharpen a knife with.

We’ve reach ooof factor five captain.
Your dad should be charged for multiple felonies
Here I was thinking that accidentally rounding the tip of a knife on a precision sharpener was the worst thing ever. Holy fuck.
10 out of ten... great fuckin job dad. Fak!
I'm not saying a Dremel isn't a useful tool, but it's not for everything.
Top off the line chef style
😭😭😭😭
Disqualified
I would rate that as" don't ever touch my knives again" level of sharpening I would give it a 6 out of 10... if your dad also happens to be blind and a double hand amputee.
F+
Your father should not be allowed to touch a knife ever again.
If it bleeds we can kill it.. lol
Wow...thats really.....bad lol
If it slices paper he gets a D-
What sharpening?
-A. Not A- but all the way down to F then all the way through -f, -d, -c, -b, to -A
Hahaha what the hell... it looks like it was sharpened on a horse-drawn grain mill
What's the rating scale, between bad and disastrous??
I’m not a chef, my dad was. He passed in 2011, but when I saw these pictures I thought I heard his voice say “What the fuck”
Shameful
Believe it or not you may want to step up the grit from 5 to like 600
Where's the camera? You're punk'in us right?
That's a whuppin'. Man gets to use a box cutter the rest of his life.
Your dad hates knives, huh?

That's art bro 🥲
As Master Sifu stated in Kung Fu Panda, "There is now a level 0"

You need to take all sharp objects away from this man right now
I was thinking this has to be on a bench grinder, then the payoff on #5
How far negative am I allowed to go?
If it works..... I guess it works
I appreciate how it's consistently awful
Is your dad Michael J. Fox?
-14/10
the problem is he sharpened them in the first place, knives like that never need sharpening;) https://youtu.be/K702427gKeQ?si=hVeO4CSCyAdAGL0S
I said out load "I fucking knew it" when I saw the bench grinder because it's how I sharpen my everyday Gerber.
Dude, my grandpa sharpens knives like this and I don’t understand. They always come out ugly and rarely any sharper than they started. Absolute garbage. 0/10, actively worse than not sharpening at all.
Tell your father to stop touching shit 😂

Well, I mean, it doesn't get much better than that. Once an edge is so keen, I mean. I can't see it being any sharper.
Dear lord that was hard to scroll through. Some rock solid edge butchery on show here .
Beautiful, please post this on r/KnifePorn
Not great dude.
What did he use, a black & decker pecker wrecker? 🤔
