    Just a guess, but you could try very light taps with a hammer against a flat surface (tape both if you want to avoid possible scratches). Light taps (two inches) is all it takes, surprisingly easy. I saw a Japanese pro do that on an anvil (video), but couldn't tell if it was for the blade, or for a warp in the edge. After it's straightened, you may still be left with a bit of concave section where you hit bone, but If it's not bad, that will come out over time with routine sharpening. Nice knife, btw. They sharpen sharp! As you (and I) have learned, a sharp edge is fragile. I bought a cleaver with 25 degree bevels for hard squash (thought of a saw, too), and for beef ribs.

    I am sorry to hear about your sensei. My condolences. Considering the video content, this type is what I like to see more. Repair and sharpening knives and even shinken is something I am interested a lot, since i practice Iaido. That said, I also would like to see more knife reviews. The reason is simple: When I started watching your videos, I never had any interest in kitchen knives, but now I am loving everything about it - the design, history, craftsmanship and usability. I recently became a dad, I started cooking a lot more and I am enjoying. But, my knives are a disaster, cheap and bad, and I would like to buy one nice gyuto or kiritsuke (since I am loving the shape and design). Your videos are a big help, but most of the times, there are no delivery policy to my country, or the knives are too expensive with taxes and delivery prices. Any bit of info helps. Thank you! Anyway, keep the good work! (Sorry for the long text)

Suicide of a loved one is always a very hard thing to overcome but i'm sure you'll manage. Regarding your question at the end of the video. I may be mistaken but I think most of us will agree on the fact that we want to see what ever you enjoy doing. This channel is about you not us. If you do happen to make some whetstones videos, I recently got the JNS aoto Blue ( + - 3K) and the Morihei Hishiboshi Karasu 9K. Theyh are both mix of synthetic and natural stones (quite hard) and I feel they would make great reviews. The JNS stone leaves an amazing kasumi finish, i'm sure you would enjoy it (hard, doesn't load up at all). best, Louis

I do woodworking for a hobby, so I have waterstones for keeping my plane blades and chisels sharp... and I also like to maintain my kitchen knives. I was good at sharpening before I started watching your channel, but now that I've adjusted my technique based on your method you could shave with any one of my kitchen knives. I'm just working with a $50 block of knives from Target that I've been maintaining for the last 15 years. I'm already feeding my tool habit with my woodworking, but I'd like to find a workhorse chef knife that I can love. I'm looking very closely at the Takamura VG-10 Gyuto, do you have any thoughts on this or would you suggest otherwise?

    Good method, good demo! Much better than using a stick with slots in it, imo. Do you have a method for straightening small bends in the edge of the blade? With practice, like learning to ride a bicycle, my sharpening is pretty good now, much thanks to you and your videos! I took in some knives from friends to practice sharpening on, and some of them had bent blades. I was really afraid of snapping the blade, so I clamped the blade with a heavy cloth over it, and pushed down. Never thought of pulling up! For one bend a couple of inches from the tip, I used a five pound hammer as an anvil, a 12 ounce hammer, with tape so as not to scratch the blade. Just light taps will do it. For a bend in the middle, if you have a vise, I think it might be possible to put shims on either side, and one right on the bend, then tighten. One knife had a bend right at the tip, two millimeters or so, and I could not get that straight for some reason. Oh - if anyone takes in friends' knives to sharpen, be aware that you are doing "repair", before you can sharpen. You have to repair bends before you can sharpen, so check for that, first. And for the chips ... I went to a belt sander with a 3x18 inch 400 grit sanding belt and saved myself hours of work. Just careful not to let the blade get hot.

    A long "Thank you!" here, for all your videos and efforts. Your recommendation of the Debado LD-180 is super. That stone is amazing, very hard (doesn't wear away like some 220's), and it has become my indispensable go-to stone for everything from minor chips to setting a bevel angle. (I hope "Debado LD-180" is the correct name for the stone - it's the 180 grit.) Once a bevel angle is set, and refined, I have found that if you take care of the edge, it doesn't take a lot of time at all to refresh the sharpness (maybe 10 minutes). I like high grit stones, 6k, 8k, 10k. Just 10 stropping strokes followed by a leather strop, and the edge is back. Maybe perfect consistency is possible, but I've learned that it is not necessary - much as you have said many times, the sharpness of a 1k is sufficient for kitchen use, and even a 140 diamond plate will serve to get a knife functionally sharp. So sharpness may vary a bit, from high grits. Over time, any scratch marks left by lower grits will wear away. In sum, my sharpening has gone from experimenting, to obsession, to work-practice, to beating frustration (a long stage!), to functionally OK, and now that I have the hang of it, I am really enjoying knowing how to really get a knife sharpened up in a direct manner, and how to keep a knife sharp with minimal effort. Notable example: I took a serrated Henckels steak knife, used a belt sander to rid it of the serrations (30 mins), used the LD-180 to remove the very substantial burr (20 mins), a Chosera 400 to smooth out the bevel (10 mins), a Chosera 1K to get it cleaner (10 mins), then my now-favorite love-you-muchly Green Brick of Joy to polish that edge and get it nicely sharp (20 mins), then a few minutes on a 5k, a few strops on a 6k, 8k, 10k, and a leather strop. I compared an unused Henckels serrated steak knife to my non-serrated sharpened version. (If anyone has to ask how that turned out, they have never sharpened a knife. No slur on Henckels, here. They use really nice steel and make really good knives, very probably carefully researched and designed to be best for the most common use. The serrations are there to prolong the useful life of the edge, assuming the owners will cut on ceramic plates, and will never sharpen. Restaurant owners probably love serrated steak knives.) Ryky, I know you have commercial interest, and I wish you every continued success, but it's obvious that you have a passion for sharpening and for teaching people how to appreciate knives and how to sharpen and care for them. Thank you for all your videos! I have watched most of the many you have produced, and I can safely say I have learned to sharpen, from you. I have developed my own tastes and style for my domestic use, and I have an appreciation for how much thought went into your channel. So many different directions you could have gone in, but you held to the center line consistently, covering all the bases of that center line, the knives, the handles, steels, and an exhaustive coverage of stones and strops and techniques. I go back to your videos as reference points. Sincerely, thank you!

    Hi there, first off I love your videos, they are so informative and helped a great deal. Thank you for this! I have a question though, I’m not sure what knife to get. I was going to purchase the classic ikon wustof chef knife, but then I saw your video on the Nexus bd1n chef knife. I’m not a chef but do a lot of meat cutting in my kitchen. If I were to buy one chef knife that would last the longest and stay sharp and feel balanced and heavy, that I could sharpen again and again, over time, which knife would you pick under $200? I could really use your help! Thanks so much.

    Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge with us, by wach them and learning from them and read a book "The Art of Japanese Sword Polishing" (I am also a Smith) I was able to repair the broken tip of my Japanese sword that has been past down to me. My plan is to finish a couple of more repairs on it; sharpen it. Forge the furniture for it, because right now it is in a (traveling Saya) and Is a naked blade. Hopefully when that is all done I will be able to practice cutting with it. So I hope you will do video on sword sharpening. Also where did you get your sword sharpening/ polishing stones because right now I am using the stones from your store to sharpen it along with my knives?
