    When I started out as a chef I only had 1 chef knife, so sending it off for sharpening wasn't really an option, so I bought Naniwa pro 1000 & 3000. I couldn't sharpen for shit in the beginning, but it's one of the best things I did, practicing sharpening my own knives. Now after 1.5 years, I'm pretty deft on the stones. Loved the video!

    I watch your videos for two reasons besides masterful knife sharpening. One for unique experience of enjoying the Newfoundland accent and second as a thank you to the people of Newfoundland (Gander especially) for their unparalleled humanity and hospitality during the days following 9/11. Hope to visit one day until then will visit vicariously through your videos. 💕🙏🏻

    I worked in a knife store. One day a chef brought in his Shun, and the blade was missing a chunk the diameter of about half a dime. "What did you do?" I cried, "You're a chef, you know how to use these!", to which he replied, "Yes, but my Chinese mother-in-law doesn't." Turns out, she was used to buying five dollar cleavers in Chinatown and then chopping whole chickens up with them. You can guess what she did here.

      That’s why you keep the good ones under lock and key. I have a really nice set of hand forged single bevel Japanese knives that I would put up against anything like this,made of Hitachi blue steel And one of the knives in the set is specifically made much thicker and like a cleaver for doing stuff like that. You would never pick up the knives that are meant for sashimi and chop a chicken bone.

      No, Just use junk if you're going to try to use it as a prybar. Also, If they had buried the knife deeper and twisted, it wouldn't have happened. Even using junk knives, I wouldn't try to twist a stone out without being at least 7mm deep.

    I love the sharpening videos if nothing else just to see the different knives you get to work on. I personally will probably never own a knife like this but sure enjoy the beauty of it

    • @MrBayeasy
      @MrBayeasy ปีที่แล้ว

      Grab yourself a mercer genesis or renessance for like 30 bucks if you want a good robust knife, or a tojiro f300 or f301 for like 30 bucks if you want a good Japanese type knife. Those 2 brands, specifically the series I mentioned for each are fantastic value for money and will give you the performance of knives like this, just without the look. Just be mindful if you go with the tojiro the edge will be more delicate much like the knife in the video. So if you do get one make sure you look up how to use it properly so you can avoid damage like you see here. Also if you like this knife check out the Shun Sora line, which essentially has the same high grade steel but with a design similar to a samurai sword finish. It looks good for how simple it is, and can usually be had around 70 or 80.

I haven't had to sharpen mine since I bought it 10 years ago, just some gentle honing. It is however coming up for a needed gentle sharpening since when I first had it you could literally cut a paper thin slice of tomato without even holding it. This video is gold dust for me my man. I'm pretty good at using my whetstones but putting this blade on there is going to take some nerve. Thank you sir.

I watch Alec, Will and Liam because they build some cool things. I watch your channel because you are more informative. Your channel has a lesson to learn. Your attention to detail is impressive. You inspire others to learn more. That's how I feel. I have never tried using wet stones before. As many sharpening videos of yours I watch. I am going to purchase a set and give it a try.

I'm a machinist, so using an adjustable sharpener seemed a logical choice rather than learning to do it by hand. Just don't ask how much I spent for it. I think it was sharpened @ 17 degrees when I bought it, but 22 degrees seems to stand up better.

I love my stones but when im pressed for time, I go with the grinder and the tormek. Done and done. The benefit of the stone is that you can thin the blade without the need of a power tool. And targeted stock removal is the name of the game

    I'm a professional chef who spends too much money on knives. I own knives from lots of different brands/makers; Kai shun, Miyabi, Tojiro, Yu kurosaki - to name a few. I have to say this is an excellent knife, I'd recommend it to anyone. The best thing about it is how easy it is to sharpen. People dont think about that when they buy a knife, but trust me, unless you are a professional blacksmith, it is important. Only downside is the handle is quite large.

    I am a CNC and manual grinder at work. I have a soft spot for edge tools. The second you showed the chunks in the blade I correctly guess what had happened. I am the "camp" knife sharpener o my families hunting trips. A few beers and a walmart combi stone and I get a decent edge on a dull hunting knife. At home I have my wamart combi stone and a hard and soft arkansas stones and I can get pretty close to as sharp as you did here. I usually finish knives on the back of my belt. I've even become the knife guy at work, as some of my coworkers use their walmart knives as screw drivers and wire cutters. I ask permission first and then use a belt sander to remove the nicks/dents and then use the combi stones to rough it in. we have really hard "glass stones" at work that are like a natural arkansas stone but they are super hard and fine like a 4000x grit.
    that 240x stone made my skin tingle when you drew across it. Gross.

    Big respect! That's exactly how a knife that class should be treated. You must have tons of experience holding the correct angle in that amazing speed. Deeply impressed!
    I'm by far not that experienced, so I sharpen my knifes (the same way, but) way slower, also to enjoy the sound of what's happen. Imo the "sound" of the knife on the stone is very underrated. Especially novices should carefully listen to the knife: You can literally hear when the cutting edge slides the stone's surface in the correct angle and 1 stroke at the correct angle is more effective than 3 strokes with incorrect angle.
    My 2 golden rules in knife sharpening:
    1. Precision is more important than speed, also when using the knifes.
    (Practice precision, not speed! Speed will come with experience.)
    2. Might sound stupid, but: the way to always have sharp knifes is to prevent them from getting dull.
    (The more frequently the re-sharpen process is done, the less effort it takes to do it. And the higher the knifes average sharpness is.)
    Btw: I've got some Shun "Classic" knifes and a 300/1000 grit Shun combi stone. The 300 grit side I use for outdoor-knifes or machetes, but 1000 grit side is really useful. And then I also have a 3" x 12" blue "Belgischer Brocken" (around 6000 grit) natural flat stone for the fine polish. Beautiful stone, doesn't need to soak, is inatantly usable with some drops of water.
    2-3 strokes (each side of the knife) over that stone once a week and my knifes stay razor-sharp.

    You sir, have a new subscriber in me. Gorgeous knife, beautiful repair job!

    Woo! That's a perfect fine edge right there. Yeah I would've made the same mistake if I didn't know how hard those blades are. Never thought of an avacado pit being tough enough to chip em out.

    We have the same exact knife with the same exact issue. Would love to get it sharpened.

    Great video mate. How do you manage the shun’s much narrower suggested sharpening angle vs the brittle metal without a jig?
