Nicely done.
Unpretentious, relevant, easy to watch, doesn't patronise, nicely shot and a pleasant setting.
I like it
EDIT:
I meant to add that a small strip cut from a Kevlar glove can be packed with the sharpener and held between your fingertips and the end of it, just in case you inadvertently slip your finger(s) over the edge while sharpening. Happened to me once on a freezing cold day when retouching the edge of a GB mini with a DC4. Didn't even know I'd been sliced at first and then wondered where the blood had come from...

Very good video
If I might make one suggestion? You made the "undercut" on that dead hazel last...it is better to make it first in case the tree drops onto your axe or hand. No harm done this time but its worth doing
Some good techniques are shown here
