Please share this video and help my grow to 100K subscribers! Especially, my people on Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter! Something INSANE will happen soon.
Ryky, this has become my favorite channel. I Am halfway through watching this video now, and this has secured it. You are deserving. Thank you for sharing of yourself with us as you do.
I just discovered your channel and am thrilled to be learning so much about knives. What a fantastic gift you've been given with these. Congratulations and I wish you continued success.
There is a saying in my mother language, ….'a good wine does not need advertising', every sushi chef knows Masamoto, it is a highly respected knife maker.
What a absolutely beautiful knife that is .. thank you for starting me on my Japanese knife journey.. Ive enjoyed your videos over the past few days..and have just ordered a knife from your site ..
Very belated congratulations, Ryky. I've been a subscriber for a few months now and just happened upon this video today. I understand that your channel's on hold briefly while you relocate. Best of luck reaching your 100k subscriber level. I'd love to see what you and Prof X can come up with. Hope the family is well and safe. Aloha and thanks for all you do. You're accolades are well deserved.
1.) You should hand and frame one. 2.) Really happy for you and your cool movie-like story of meeting Prof X. 3.) IMO, to hit 100k, I'd recommend you do some more restoration videos. The way I found your channel was from that 1 JunsKitchen video of him restoring a super rusty knife that went really viral way back when (25m views). After watching that, your channel came up as recommended.
I found him by looking for budget blades and sharpening techniques. Though I watch other youtubers for knife restoration and straight razor sharpening, if Burr dived into that he grow his channel I believe.
Nice to see someone who enjoys what they do geeking out over such a gift. Pay it forward, of course it doesn't hurt to keep a spare or two for yourself ;-)
Wish I got here sooner, ha. I just recently started my knife collection and these babies still elude me to this day. The masamoto ks is still one of the best knives to ever grace the world with its beauty. Thanks for your awesome videos, sorry for the compliments on a 4 year old video lol
Definitely use them to grow your channel. You deserve some more exposure. Watching these recently has made it so much easier for me to get into knife sharpening. You have a lot of knowledge and present it in a very easy to digest manner. Keep it up.
Super exciting! I showed your video about the Kuma knife to many coworkers who were hesitant to buy anything expensive, I'm probably in that same camp. After learning more about sharpening in your video's and getting that knife for myself, I'm generally excited to use it in the kitchen. Hard to imagine how exited you must be about this, congrats! Keep up the great work. p.s. I've applied some of your knife sharpening techniques to sharpening my woodworking tools with great success!
Your page has been most edifying. I've learned so much, and hope to learn more... all to be put it to good use... my next (better informed) knife purchase is near. Thank you Ricky! -Mike, aspiring home chef
100k i think it's do able with in a year or two (worth of content). Maybe try to set up a factory (workshop) tour/interview with some manufacturer /Smiths.
I'm really happy with my Kuma 8 inch chef knife I bought because of your glowing review of it as a great inexpensive knife. I can't imagine getting so many fine instruments like those Masimotos. I'm happy for you. I'm very satisfied with my new Kuma and won't hesitate to take your advice on any knives or stones I purchase in the future.
I think a few would be great as milestone gifts on the way to 100k. Maybe one at 50, 75, and final at 100? I think this might be my favorite video and i'm looking forward to seeing the knife you get developed after 100k subs.
You have arrived. I have only been watching you for a short time. I can only say this, I have learned so much about knives from you. Thank you for all you do.
Your appriciation is radiating all the way to the arctic! I am sitting in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, and i can feel your exitement and joy of receiving something that means a LOT to you. Thank you for sharing what you love. Be you, enjoy the ride, success is all around you. Best regards from the far north. 👍
I honestly don’t know anything about chef knives but I can tell By his reaction that this has been a massive blessing. Be sure to give Prof. X a very deep thanks.
Here is how I personally would handle your situation: 1. Contact the Professor and thank him with all of your heart. 2. Seek his advice and/or wishes for what you should do with his amazing gifts. 3. If his wishes are for you to do giveaways, consider using Gleam.io for the giveaway. Of course, it can be used for you to promote your own accounts on FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc. But, just as importantly, it can also be used to promote other sites that you consider to be valuable resources, and can help to boost other CZcams creators' channels that you like - those who are struggling to get noticed. It's a great way to "Pay it Forward" and use your influence to help others. I believe it can also promote your favorite charities and such too. 4. Do the giveaways at milestones - 50K, 80K, 100K, etc. 5. Keep a few for your own use, and one for a display case on your wall. Kind of like the way some people display the first dollar their business earned. 6. Enjoy and cherish those you keep. It's obvious how important they are to you. Just my two cents Ryky. Of course, you will gain "empty" subscribers through giveaways, but you will certainly gain interested subscribers as well. Such a wonderful gift - you deserve it! I love your videos. I wish you all of the success that you seek.
burrfection, just don't confuse these with previous ks knives. they are made differently, unknown maker, monosteel, poor edge retention, and this is according to masamoto. they look the same, but they are not the same.
I'm not a knife guy but I love Japanese culture and this is super cool! Seeing your excitement and surprise for these makes me excited too. 11k~ more subscribers you're doing awesome bud!!!
You are one lucky man. I love my knives but had to leave the business due to multiple heart attacks and diabetes. I wish for you so much luck in getting to 100 000 subscribers and get to design and bring a knife to life. I just found you tonight and again so happy for you. I was shaking along with you as opened the box as I to love my knives and the feel of it in my hand to create. Thank you for allowing me to watch and enjoy along with you. I hope you were able to decide what to do with them. I’ll go and cry and calm down now wishing I was still in the business and being doing what I loved. Thank you again for allowing me to share in your joy. Matthew
@@Cos93 Agree- there are lot of better knives nowadays in the same or comparable price range, recently I have noticed high praises for the Migoto knives w1.
@@Cos93 i am considering w1 270 mm and petty 150 mm, i would like to know wether these knives from migoto are even better than hitohira togashi, tanaka as well as kagekiyo, alothugh it serms that there are same blacksmiths from sakai, what do you think from your experience with b1?
You lucky guy. I’ve lost my passion of cooking and I’ve been watching your Chanel and online for 4 to 5 months trying to find a couple of Japanese style knifes to inspire me in the kitchen. Knifes that will make me want to hold them in my hand, use them and help find myself back. There’s no better feeling than holding and slicing with a beautiful knife So many choices. Please help me 😔 Good luck with reaching 100k
You were certainly honored by the person who bestowed these beautiful knives to you. Good for you! Hope you have appreciated and enjoyed them. It would certainly be nice to own just one of these knives. Appreciate your insight in all areas related to these culinary topics.
If you want to grow your channel I would recommend you increase the variety of videos you make. People like to see more videos of the knives you have actually being used in real life scenarios. Also some videos stretch out for very long periods which may be a problem for some people. So keeping them short and sweet might help. You can start some videos demonstrating the technique and then increase the speed and record your voice over when you feel it’s necessary to say something. I say this because some people, such as myself, may not like to sit through the whole sharpening process, they end up just skipping to the end to see the results. But these are just tips from a one subscriber.. who knows if others feel the same 🙄
Steven Landaverde This. However, I think understand why Ryky might do it this way. Any person could see any of his sharpening videos at any time, and I think he wants every sharpening video to contain the entire process in case it's the viewer's first one. I do agree, however, that he could shorten them and still get the same point across. Particularly with the comparison videos. I would also love to see more cutting demos. REAL cutting, not just paper.
a) what did you end up doing with the knives? b) when was the last time you talked to the guy? c) what products have you designed with him and are you selling them now?
Man, could feel the emotions through my phone. I welled up in tears with ya man. You've made it on CZcams man!! CONGRATS!! Can't like this vid enough. KS had been at the top of my wishlist forever.
Saw this video yesterday for the first time, ordered mine today. lol i juts fell in love with that knife in that moment he pulled it out of the box. So freakin nice.
KS may be the most desired knife in last few years, however, hasn't there been enough clones / evolution of knives since? Is it really still as excellent compared to modern selections? Can you please compare the unicorn KS to a modern "up and coming" unicorns? Yes please on giveaway, probably keep 3 or 4 for yourself though ... and stop pushing your luck, got the gift, be happy with it, and return the favor, such are business relations. Also, thank you, I'm sure from all of us, to your contact, this is a pretty stellar gift.
The old stock KS was never a unicorn, they made plenty of them and you can still find them on ebay and forums. The new Masamoto KS stock's grind is just as good, they just cut corners with the Kanji. The fact that the KS was ever at the same price point as white #2 Kono Fujiyama is a bit silly, grind is worse as was the fit and finish. Want to talk unicorns, try finding a Shigefusa Kitaeji western handle gyuto or suji on the secondary market.........and if you do, see if it's under $2,000 lol.
"Yeah... so... this video is kinda getting long. I didn't think it was gonna be this long. I thought it was gonna be a quick unboxing. I didn't really honestly know what was gonna be in the box. But I got 10 KS'es!" I think he's just super excited. lololol. He could've edited it down more tho, yeah.
Get the 100K man, you can do it! You quite obviously have some people rooting for you. I'm going to hit the subscribe button now even though I'm not a big knife fan, just enjoyed the video. Keep it up.
I was shocked that never once in the video did you extend the obvious courtesy of thanking him -- profusely. You have always impressed me as a gracious man, but that miss was striking. To have someone that interested in your growth and to be so generous in demonstrating that is the greatest gift. He gave that gift for a purpose, perhaps more than one. Your job is to disover that and honor it. Yes, it would be obvious to hold some kind of giveaway tied to hitting targeted thresholds, but I think you would be well--served to consider how else you can magnify the gift. It is in giving that we receive.
Did you ever have a crush on a girl in junior high school and then out of the blue she came up and talked to you? How did you react? Did your brain kind of shut off? Were you may be a bit tongue-tied and later wished you had been a lot cooler with your lines? This is my first time watching this guy but I'd guess he was in the same mindset. I miss those days and love the fact that he still gets that emotion. To be rendered speechless by beauty is rare and certainly not a fault.
Oh, OK, so you believe all of his life exists in his CZcams videos and he didn't thank him privately, and because you can't comprehend life exists outside of the recorded video, you decided to pass judgement based on your limited knowledge of events?
Well, also there's the other obvious alternative that he had the knives all along and used the ever so exciting story behind the unboxing to promote his brand/up his subscriptions. Either way, Cant hate on his hustle , I applaud anyone who's out there doing something useful with their time. Those knives do look awesome.
Burrfection Yes, it seems like you said it somewhat jokingly. Just saying it would not be amusing to hear that after putting that much effort into a generous gift. But like like you implied, maybe I'm just a sensitive sally
i continuously thank EVERY one of my vendors and supporters who send me product to review, in each of my videos. if you are new to my channel, i would encourage you to watch a few more videos , especially my unboxing videos and see how many times i say THANK YOU, and if you still think i'm rude and insulting, you can choose to stop watching my videos. have a great day.
Literally subbed, first video I’ve seen from you but if this guy is that dedicated to send you ten of these there must be something amazing about you and I’m going to find out lol
I’ve been looking for one of these forever!! Wow definitely a great gift. I am getting married and would love one as a wedding gift... *cough *cough. Keep up the great work. I love your videos!
Wow, my wife just got me a Miyabi 5000 MCD67 black for my anniversary; but this I think tops that by a factor of 10. My Miyabi is my first Japanese knife and I am about to buy some stones to sharpen it. I have been trained by my father on a industrial grinding wheel to sharpen but I don’t want to take that much material blade. It’s nice to see so much enthusiasm for this knife.
Congratulation its dream come true. I watched your channel since when you used to post videos in your other channel. Your channel really helped me to learn how to sharpen my knives instead of paying knife shop to sharpen my knife. Thanks to you I did great in my culinary school. I always had sharpest knife in my class. But now I am back in Korea to serve my country as a Korean man. I am planing to go back to US and study culinary arts after I am done with my army. I was really curious about KS but never got it on my hands. You made many contents and videos with your KS so I also really wanted to get my hands on KS bcz you always talked about how KS the perfect knife. I wish I can also get a chance to get KS. It would be nice if you can do give a way. I bet your channel will keep grow to 100k subs
Seems to me that Professor X wanted to help you grow your channel by giving you something to give to your community as it grows. I think the best course of action would be to give them away as the channel grows to encourage more growing. I mean, no one has anything to lose by subscribing to you and EVERYTHING to gain. From the enjoyment of watching you sharpen to learning about your passion and why certain knives are so sought after. Spread the wealth and I'm on board this train to 100k! Congrats buddy
Please share this video and help my grow to 100K subscribers! Especially, my people on Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter! Something INSANE will happen soon.
Burrfection here's an idea, every 10k subscribers you give away one of those knifes, until you reach 100k
I'm surprised your not at 100k all ready your video at times can be a little long but very good
Burrfection send me one of those... i am in Panamá... my mail is horeb_33@yahoo.com
Thanx
SO COOl!
If you could give me the first one for the idea I would be so gladdd
Masamoto is trolling you
Plot twist masamoto was the guy who said he knows masamoto
“I know Masamoto... I”ll see what I can do”
coolest shit ive heard in a while
Since I was a young child, my Grandmother instilled in me the importance of the concept of "What GOES around, COMES around". Good for you !
I love how passionate you are about your knives. I've never used one of these, but it's getting me very excited!
just keeping it real
Ryky, the level of excitement you displayed was infectious. Your amazement put a wide smile on my face.Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This literally gave me some of the craziest chills ever. How wonderful 💖💖

You are deserving. Thank you for sharing of yourself with us as you do.
Dude, I love your passion. You just made unboxing knives riveting! Keep it up!!!
doing my best. thank you !
I always dream to have a masamoto especially these kinds of knives are really great. Design to perfection
You'd make anyone who got one of those so happy!
Also if you start a knife brand, I'm so excited to actually buy knives designed by your expert hands!
I just discovered your channel and am thrilled to be learning so much about knives. What a fantastic gift you've been given with these. Congratulations and I wish you continued success.
One of the best videos ever. Thanks for posting and congratulations !

SuperRalfio its fake
I was shocked that never once in the video did you extend the obvious courtesy of thanking him -- profusely. You have always impressed me as a gracious man, but that miss was striking. To have someone that interested in your growth and to be so generous in demonstrating that is the greatest gift. He gave that gift for a purpose, perhaps more than one. Your job is to disover that and honor it. Yes, it would be obvious to hold some kind of giveaway tied to hitting targeted thresholds, but I think you would be well--served to consider how else you can magnify the gift. It is in giving that we receive.
Did you ever have a crush on a girl in junior high school and then out of the blue she came up and talked to you? How did you react? Did your brain kind of shut off? Were you may be a bit tongue-tied and later wished you had been a lot cooler with your lines?
This is my first time watching this guy but I'd guess he was in the same mindset.
I miss those days and love the fact that he still gets that emotion.
To be rendered speechless by beauty is rare and certainly not a fault.
Oh, OK, so you believe all of his life exists in his CZcams videos and he didn't thank him privately, and because you can't comprehend life exists outside of the recorded video, you decided to pass judgement based on your limited knowledge of events?
Well, also there's the other obvious alternative that he had the knives all along and used the ever so exciting story behind the unboxing to promote his brand/up his subscriptions. Either way, Cant hate on his hustle , I applaud anyone who's out there doing something useful with their time. Those knives do look awesome.
very well said, couldn't agreed more!
Fantastic!! What a generous gift, you are blessed my friend
I subscribed for you! Good luck, hope you get to 100,000 that is amazing!
Give one away per 10K subscriber milestone. 50, 60 etc. You'll get to 100K in no time and can hopefully have your collaboration with the investor.
Daigle, excellent idea!
I reckon do a giveaway. One per continent for your subscribers 😜🇦🇺
NICE thinking!
I can take care of the Portuguese "continent" lol

No, your unboxing was perfect. So suspenseful. I was feeling Ryky's excitement firsthand!
Dude this is $5000 knife Have to be open with pation lolol
You gotta understand that this present was a big deal. Could you not deduce that from the video?
Wow those are some beautiful knives and you just had an incredible experience.
Beautiful knife. A true work of art.
Insulting and rude to say you regret not asking for something better and proceed to ask for more gifts.
relax. it was a joke
Burrfection Yes, it seems like you said it somewhat jokingly. Just saying it would not be amusing to hear that after putting that much effort into a generous gift. But like like you implied, maybe I'm just a sensitive sally
i continuously thank EVERY one of my vendors and supporters who send me product to review, in each of my videos. if you are new to my channel, i would encourage you to watch a few more videos , especially my unboxing videos and see how many times i say THANK YOU, and if you still think i'm rude and insulting, you can choose to stop watching my videos. have a great day.
pudicus2: Yep… Ryky's one of the good guys, and he freely and regularly expresses his gratitude and humility.
fake
Havent finished the video, or even the opening, but I am hooked...
Subscribed. Hope you hit 100k man!
Literally subbed, first video I’ve seen from you but if this guy is that dedicated to send you ten of these there must be something amazing about you and I’m going to find out lol
Subscribed! Hope you get to 100k soon man!
thank you !
Great Video,
I just bought a Masamoto KS Gyuto 270 mm and I love it.
Yes…. Nicely done
I’ve been looking for one of these forever!! Wow definitely a great gift. I am getting married and would love one as a wedding gift... *cough *cough. Keep up the great work. I love your videos!
Hopefully you get to 100k.
You just earned another sub with me. Awesome channel and content keep it up
Wow, my wife just got me a Miyabi 5000 MCD67 black for my anniversary; but this I think tops that by a factor of 10. My Miyabi is my first Japanese knife and I am about to buy some stones to sharpen it. I have been trained by my father on a industrial grinding wheel to sharpen but I don’t want to take that much material blade. It’s nice to see so much enthusiasm for this knife.
Yes, I am blown away. I've been looking for a KS for two years. I will reach out to you on twitter.
Congratulation its dream come true. I watched your channel since when you used to post videos in your other channel. Your channel really helped me to learn how to sharpen my knives instead of paying knife shop to sharpen my knife. Thanks to you I did great in my culinary school. I always had sharpest knife in my class. But now I am back in Korea to serve my country as a Korean man. I am planing to go back to US and study culinary arts after I am done with my army. I was really curious about KS but never got it on my hands. You made many contents and videos with your KS so I also really wanted to get my hands on KS bcz you always talked about how KS the perfect knife. I wish I can also get a chance to get KS. It would be nice if you can do give a way. I bet your channel will keep grow to 100k subs
thank you, for serving your country. God Bless you.
Seems to me that Professor X wanted to help you grow your channel by giving you something to give to your community as it grows. I think the best course of action would be to give them away as the channel grows to encourage more growing.
I mean, no one has anything to lose by subscribing to you and EVERYTHING to gain. From the enjoyment of watching you sharpen to learning about your passion and why certain knives are so sought after.
Spread the wealth and I'm on board this train to 100k!
Congrats buddy
Subscribed because I want you to make the 100,000. Good luck with all your future projects and good luck with the official knives.
