The knowledge of David around the cutlery is encyclopedic. He is also an excellent teacher and transmits to be a good human being just like you. :)
Thank you so much Diaries of a master sushi chef
he is an idiot. he doesn't have a clue what damascus is. he thinks the old fashioned way of making a damascus is hammering and folding. true damascus is wootz, not pattern welded like this moron thinks.
Hiro. This might be the most informative video on the net on the subject of knives and sharpening. Too many people blind the viewer with science in an effort to showcase their own knowledge rather than help the viewer.
After months of searching for a clear explanation on sharpening my Yanagiba I think you have just supplied it to me.
Thanks and Good Afternoon,
Kiri
I love listening to people that are nervous in the beginning on camera. Then as soon as they start talking product you see the passion that flows out with no effort or nervousness.
I know you have heard this before, but, WOW!!! All the buzz words I have be hearing are comming together for me. I am new to better/good knifes. And just learning about sharpening knifes the right way. I know I have so much to learn, but the things you shown us here have opened new doors for me. ANYONE !!! who is thinking about getting better knifes has got to see this video!! I will save this video to my messages with a star! So I can go back to it anytime I need another fix! I am just getting away from my Chicago cutlery and getting into low end carbon Japanese knifes. I know I will be killing my knifes to learn,and move into better knifes later it time. From blade geometry to stone make up, to steels! You have brought this all together for me. I know I have alot to learn, you make it sensible to me. You have me taking notes!!! You can bet I will be watching your video alot!! Thank you for all the time you put in videos. You have taught me a lot! Thank you.....
Wow, David is an excellent instructor! You can really tell when someone loves their work.
This is by FAR the most informative knife sharpening video out there. This is the lightbulb video for me, the one that helped me grasp the basic principles of sharpening. Job very well done!
You have made the BEST sharpening video followed with all the knowledge needed in one video! Thank you David!
I think I speak for everyone when I say that a video demonstration on sharpening western style knives would be amazing. Please consider
Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef Can’t wait, Thanks!
As someone who spends a lot of time sharpening pocket knives and fixed blades on water stones, I thought I knew everything. The kitchen knife world can be much different. It’s always nice to learn new things.
David is flipping brilliant. Could listen to him talk all day.
I am glad that Japanese kitchen knife is used abroad. From Japanese chefs
The ones I have, are the best knives I own.
Beautiful knives. Japanese goods are made with such pride, and it shows. My Japanese fishing lures are fantastic too, made by small companies who really care about what they are doing.
Japanese knives are the best!
Around 1980, my mother bought a full set of Japanese stainless steel knives from a door-to-door salesman. It just seemed like the wrong thing to do, but those where the best knives I have ever seen.
I just bought a Myabi 600D Sujihiki, and it is wonderfull. Also have Chosera #800 #1000 #3000 sharpening stones, and Atoma diamond stones #140 and #600. Never need to buy a new knife again. Though I will because Im a nerd :D
Japanese knife design is simply superior to their occidental counterparts. A simple single-bevel (chisel) blade makes SOOO much more sense and SOOO much easier to sharpen to surgical levels.
Some Western knives are good, but Japanese are generally superior. Toss in the pride in craftsmanship Japanese show, and we get a truly superior product.
Listening to this knife master is like listening to a great song, it’s so enjoyable and entertaining, I love how much knowledge he can just drop off the top. Very impressive.
42:25 after so many years and so many videos about knife sharpening... I now understand this and why chefs do it that way.
@@DiariesofaMasterSushiChef it really is!
I've been getting into cooking lately and always had a particular interest in knives.
Even know I barely know anything about them...
Say, any chance I can send you guys a picture of 2 sets I got so you can tell me how decent they look? And what tools I should get to keep them in top shape?
The only thing I'd add to this is something I'm sure Dave does, but has done it so long that he doesn't have to think about it when he says to remember to "lock your wrists." I think that at first, the beginner will most likely not be able to stay relaxed while locking their wrists, and if they don't, their hands, wrists, and forearms will fatigue pretty quickly. They're also more likely to press down on the blade harder than Dave recommends, too. As with everything requiring some skill and dexterity, being consistent is the key, and the best way to remain consistent for the length of time necessary to sharpen knives like these to #8,000 grit is to stay relaxed the entire time. Now, it may sound counterintuitive to relaxation, but it's difficult to relax until you've developed a certain amount of strength in the muscles and tensions used in any repetitive motion, and that's why I'm stressing it. The rank beginner will see very quickly that keeping their wrists LOCKED while keeping both arms relaxed, the blade at the consistently correct angle, and the light pressure from the fingers on top of the blade, isn't quite as easy as it sounds. Before long, one of those elements will likely begin to wander a bit and they'll have to stop, lock wrists, relax, "find the knife's angle," press lightly on top of the blade, and move SMOOTHLY back and forth. Dave makes it look and sound easy but it's a lot to think about in practice...but practice is what it takes. Good luck, and most of all, have fun!!
Hiroyuki Terada - Diaries of a Master Sushi Chef thanks Charles, same to you!
I really like this guy! His instruction is rationale based and explains the technique he chooses for a particular knife. Most videos I've watched don't do that. Some just stress the flatness of the stone or keeping the strokes equal on each side. Sharpening parallel to the stone is something I've thought made sense but I wasn't doing. His info on how to hold the knife and
lock the wrist is just what I needed. He's very practical and demystifies the process. Great photography, excellent video.
Wow, most informative knife sharpening video I have seen so far on youtube. Probably the best introduction to knife care and maintenance. Thanks a lot Hiro and David!
I wouldn't be bored seeing it refurbished
I have a knife sharpening collection of videos. This is one of the best.
Knife Merchant is such an amazing company. They all have a wealth of knowledge and amazing customer service. I purchased my Minonokuni knife from them and couldn't be happier.
Wow, this whole video was not only amazing, it was really educational
Sushi Traveler 5
totally agree! :)
THIS WAS GREAT!!!
It's especially nice to get some industrial insights from someone who not only REALLY knows the industry for them, BUT that he also has the direct/no-nonsense way of putting everything. Thanks!!!
AND for the record, a couple times a year I actually DO bother putting a decent edge to the household steak-knives... At least the ones that get used regularly.
Because we bought "cheap crap" years ago, they are super flexible and serrated... AND one-sided doesn't make the job any easier or simpler...
BUT... experience taught me to get one stone (arkansas combo)... AND a set of needle files.
The needle files (useful for other stuff around here too) cut neatly into the serration pattern and clean and clear "junk" out of those channels. It takes a while only because there are so many of those channels to clean... Once you've found the particular files of the set required, it's all repetition...
File to get the burr(s) on the "back side" and a few strokes on the stone cleans the burr... simple as that.
*NOTE of warning, however, that with serrated knives, the "teeth" CAN gouge the Hell out of a stone, even a fairly robust one... Lay the back-blade FLAT as possible and "next door to no pressure at all" to let the stone work the metal (as opposed to the other way around)...
I'm "heavy handed" and I can manage... SO it's not so difficult... really.
...AND when slashing meat at the table is SOOOOooo much easier, it's actually worth it, even with a DRAWER-FULL of "cheap crap" steak knives. ;o)
I personally dislike serrated knives and don't use them for anything but that doesn't mean they can't get the job done.
I applaud you for the quality of this video. There are thousands of videos on knife sharpening and only a small handful come close to being this educational and informative.
A simple, AND very effective intro. He is a real master, who cares about the knives he is selling and repairing, and passes on what he had learned from the Japanese master's tips, advises.
He is just as good doing all the trick in the shop as selling them. A huge THUMBS UP :)
Before, I bought a Deba, which I love. Now, I bought a Santoku. I'm sure I'll love it too. Keep making videos sharing your videos, and I'll keep buying knives from you. Thank you Hiro for bringing this excellent company to my attention. I absolutely love my deba, I'm sure I'll love this too. Arigato Gozaimasu. And Konichiwa.
David is a Gem tonite industry. I’ve learned tons from him and I’m so grateful. Excellent person.
Need more videos with David!!
What a great video. For customers new to quality knives (especially Japanese) it would be great to have a video or part of the website that provides a summary of this - what stones do you need to get started and which manufacturers (maybe a basic and then more expensive option). I'm trying to not end up buying two sets of stones after a year.
Best knife sharpening video
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have just purchased my first stone 1500 and 8000. For my straight razors. I have since used them on my knives and noticed a HUGE benefit to doing so. I only have “simple “ knives but hope to invest in. Japanese blade soon.
What's interesting about this video for me is this; I watched a Japanese master sharpener on a video who said never change hands when your sharpening because of inconsistencies in pressure. He also said that the true sharpening occurs on the pull stroke, i.e. the stroke that pulls the edge of the knife into the stone. I think this video shows that many techniques can work. Find your groove yo!
Beautiful knives of amazing quality. The Japanese know how to make a knife for sure.
I wish I was so into my trade like this gentleman is. Great knowledge. Just what one wants when purchasing or leaning anything from anyone. Wanna learn how to make sushi? Watch the master chef Hiro. Wanna buy a badass knife? Buy it from this guy. Makes you feel good about buying from someone like him.
I have a western knife and a Japanese knife I hunt and cook part-time at a high end restaurant because I like to cook ,you can sharpen them and polish them both as long as their made with quality steel like Damascus for example.
I have just learned pretty much all the details about knife sharpening I had not learnt in the past 24+ years!
"knife is life" thanks again, Taku
I ordered a blue steel yanagi and love mine, if it ever needs resharpening I will just send it back to knife center to sharpen it for me. Don't want to ruin such a beautiful knife.
Honestly, there are few things more satisfying to a man than sharpening a great knife on a great stone. In my humble opinion, get a moderately priced knife and stone and practice. It truly is a beautiful thing to produce a razor sharp edge on a knife. I dunno why, but it is.. 👍🏽
Best video when it comes to sharpening knives!
Excellent tutorial especially about the height of the stone, a lot of other videos never state this, I'm a culprit of having my stone too low when I sharpen my knives thank you David.
Grest video very educational i used to have trouble sharpening my knives but i took the info from this video and it made it so much easier for me to sharpen thanks for the educational video
Spent hours watching sharpening videos but this is the best for single bevel.
Thank you. This was excellent. The best video on the subject that I have seen.
Love these information fests from Knife Merchant, tons of great stuff to learn.
Great vid! A note on pronunciation: when referring to the state it is: Are-can-saw. When referring to the stone it is: R-Kansas. No idea why, but it has ever been thus. Respect - S
And when in Kansas the river is r-Kansas. I have nothing against the state of Arkansas as a whole but they are pronouncing their name incorrectly.
ohhh my god this is a very educational video.... i was glued to the mobile watching the video...
Thank you for this. You destroyed 16 years of bad knowledge in 45 minutes and I am forever grateful for this
I am sitting at a table when I sharpen my knives and I do have a Japanese one but mainly German ones that I like but I am not a sushi chef so mine work fine for what I want. But thanks for the tip of sliding food at a lower angle to preserve the edge.
Amazing as always. Wish you did a thorough video like this one for western style knives aswell
Western knives don't deserve this kind of attention.... crap stuff.
I am asking as an experienced specialist at what angle to sharpen single- and double-sided Japanese knives because I have such knives.
That guys knowledge is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I have pretty inexpensive knives and sharpening stones and hones but they get the job done for my home cooking. Definitely not slicing stuff all day though.
Thank you so much to posting this! So much info
Thank you sir for the great content and sharing your knowledge, very good tips and advice, I will checkout your store.
This guy knows his shit!!!
Thank you Hiroyuki for getting me back into making sushi. You rock Sir.
This guy is the fuckin man. Shouts out to knife merchant
5:09 This guy just said this was true Damascus steel...
Nice to see Mr Holly back in show!
Thank you.
I know what this man is talking about!!!!!!!!! damn this video should go down as a classic!
Thanks for uploading.
David I so appreciate your videos and sharing your knowledge and skill with us,
Thank you Hiro for another greatly informative video as well as you amazing cooking ones.
G88D AFTERNOON Chef. Great video guys , I was hoping you would cover this content on your visit. Thank you so much David, Hiro and Charles.
Bought 6 from Dave, he's very helpful with helping me select the right knives...!
for kitchen knifes what is better between leather stropping and rod honing
knives*
Very informative. I recently bought a minonokuni yanagabi 300 from you . Sadly the handle is cracked and a few other minor issues.
Will reach out soon as I was traveling .
WOW,... David, Thank You Very Much,.... Muchas Gracias Mi Chamo,....
the title is rather misleading since it's not Hiroyuki Terada sharpening the knives but David. But it was interesting. My question is, do you apply pressure on the push, or on the pull, since I've heard both versions?
I could watch this guy talk about knives and sharpening all day
Thanks !
YESSSSSSS!!!!!! David is the MAN! Hiro too :3
awesome!! im just starting the vid!! i bought a $25 knife like 20 years ago. i use it for even paring. its a chefs knife by Cuisinart. its so important to keep itt in shape!!
Tina Marie Farmer damn it hasn’t rusted yet?
Skwisgarr Skwigelf no! i don't leave it wet after washing
I have watched he’d this. Idea too many times! It is the benchmark for everything knives and sharpening. Any updates on those American stones mentioned by David?
So Exciting to see some German Knifes! Nesmuk , Böker or Schmiedeglut would be nice too!
he is very knowledgeable of steels.
Thanks I'm left handed. Thanks for the demo
Thank you Hiro for listening to my request.
so many good bits of info
Awesome instructional video !!
Stewie Griffin would love the way this dude pronounces his “h” in “why” and “what”
I was thinking the exact same thing. And the "cool whip" sketch.
I watch your Knife Merchant videos as bedtime stories.
So thankful for the knowledge! :)
Thank you, I learned something I can use.
I love this video ! I'm passionate when it comes to knives!
This was a very generous education..thanks !!
I got my first knife just a few days ago, so this video came in really handy! thx a lot :D
Thanks! Very informative!
Very informative. Thanks much for the video.
Would love to see you use a (macrolense) for those knife and sushi pics :)
Mr. Holly is a 100 terabyte hard drive!! Crazy crazy knowledge!!👍
Awesome video. Thankyou
Very impressive. David is a very knowledgeable and generous person. I''m a reasonably good sharpener, but I just got better. I'd like to know what his final judgement on the stones from the American maker turned out to be. And if I can buy one.
Interesting video!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Is this place gone?! I took my knives here a few times and once I showed up and it was a new business.
Thank you David...that's what I've been telling people for years - finding an angle you're comfortable with and keeping a consistent angle is much more important than the actual angle you're sharpening at. Good to hear this reinforced in this video!
Funny thing...I frequently switch from right to left when brushing my teeth just to keep my brain more active by switching routines. I read that's one way to keep your brain young - when you do the exact same thing over and over it becomes practiced routine and your brain does the activity without really thinking. Switching things up like that make your brain work outside the routine and it helps keep your brain more active and exercised. Very interesting on the Japanese knife having the equivalent of a ride line on a pair of professional scissors. I'd never heard that before.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us
Wow those knives look super sharp wish we had knives company here that good
Very nice indeed, great vid! Thank's...
Very good video
Master class.
Hello, I loved the video guys! Keep up the good work! Maybe you guys could make a video based on a crazy dessert?
David you are the best of the best!!!!!!
