As a very avid cook, and kitchen knife enjoyer, I have spent a lot of time sharpening knives. Over the years I have seen, I'd guess, at least 30 "knife sharpening" videos. I genuinely think this is the clearest, most approachable one I've seen for all levels of experience. Teaches, sympathizes, and reminds.

Look at this fine gentleman, faithful to his knife for 13 years.

Hey Vincent! I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how AWESOME you are! Your instructions are spot on, and your pace is perfect - not too fast, not too slow. I APPRECIATE how you make the tough stuff easy to understand, and you always know just what to say. Thanks a bunch for being such an incredible TEACHER!
