Great video and great information... Being left handed I appreciate your addressing the bias that exists with asymmetrically sharpened knives... it's often overlooked by most righties. Take care

Not to mention scissors!

Great explanation

Nice love you guys

Great video but I have a question: Do all knives with asymmetrical bevels have a konvex grind on the outside or is it different from knife to knife or from manufacturer to manufacturer?

Hitting the water stone with a flattener stone I call, "waking up the stone" - yes you flatten the stone, raise a slurry. But the important thing you do is expose the short-lived cutting surface. The sound of the fresh stone against metal hisses just after the craftsman exposes a new, flat surface. Advice of age and experience: Listen to your stones.

You are creating a bevel on the back of this Honesuki which has no bevel ror shouldnt be sharpened ot an angle, because it's a full single bevel and totaly flat on the back. the only thing that should be done on the back side is removing the burr by draging the blade backwards like a Yanagiba. Also they are several types of asymetrical bevels for Honesuki/Garasuki. For the Masakane (your case) it seems a symetrical straight bevel, but other type of grinds have thinner bevel at the heel, and goes wider tward tip with angle decrease for fine cutting.
