More of a video about what you look like doing your work. We got no words explaining anything much. Lovely knife.

Great video, thanks for sharing Matt! It's pretty common to see Shuns all chipped up, and it's great to see someone who's thinning out behind the primary bevel as a result of that much stock removal. I would also like to see & hear more on your thoughts and processes regarding the thinning and subsequent polish to restore the knife afterwards.

Thank you Matt to show us your amazing skills .You got me inspired to buy a machine to practice.

I love watching your videos. I’ve learned a lot from your wet stone how to’s. I do think they could be dramatically improved with one change. Your camera angles. They should be pushed in a little and on the side where your arm doesn’t cover the knife as much. As well as an overhead angle where we can see the blade contacting the belt sander. I hate giving unsolicited advice but I feel like this would greatly benefit your channel.

Thanks! I completely agree with you. I also should exist better, do better audio and lighting, etc. The funny thing is, I actually already have the equipment and knowledge to do that, I just tend to pull out my phone and prop it up against something at the last minute when I see a knife I’d like to show vs. planning ahead. 😬 I definitely should do better in that department.

What is the curved thing on your platen when you are thinning the knife?

It’s a convex platen attachment I made. Essentially it makes the platen have a profile like one of the giant Japanese wheels would have.
