Thank you!

Great advice, the only thing I'd add is that instead of a homing rod i use a leather strop and compound then plain leather to maintain my edge.

I never realized bamboo is bad for the knife edge. Good to know.

When I was younger I left my Japanese knife in the sink. Several chips later it sat in my drawer (albeit boxed) for years before I learned how to use sharpening stones. 😅

Good tips! What style and length of knife were you using in the demo? Thanks!

Hey, I used a 165mm santoku!

I started looking at these videos for sharpening tips and products BECAUSE I did the number 2 thing too many times. Stab the cutting board because reasons... bye bye tip, try to cut through bone, bye bye massive chunk of the blade..... when its your best and favourite knife, you tend to use it for everything.

I definitely get that, I wish my favourite knife could do everything under the sun!

@@KnifewearKnives If ONLY. i only have a Honke-Kaneso santoku that i got over a decade ago while in Japan..... nothing else i've owned has ever gotten close, i've used it for everything and i haven't been easy on it. Now i just have to work on fixing it and it'll be right as rain, albeit probably a 1/4 inch smaller

@knifewear is that first time sharpening guranteee ...something that extends to those of us ordering from the United States?

Why?

Drop the steel. Just not any good. Outdoors55 just released a very informative video on the subject.

@@ShayneScherer The other thing was that nothing in this video is really new. All these rules apply to all decent knives, so I focused on the presentation rather than the content.

Don’t forget the pp that stab their cutting boards

Pulling that knife through the pull through "sharpener" made me cringe so hard!

Tip nr 8: Don’t use your knife cutting through lobsters, crabs etc. one of the easiest ways of shipping your knife😅

You shouldn't do these things with any knife, not only the Japanese ones.

Truth!

Truly don't understand who these videos are for. Stick to specific knife demos.
