    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.

  • @myema5694
    @myema5694 Před 5 lety

    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.

      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.

    • @MrAcuta73
      @MrAcuta73 Před 4 lety +1

      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.

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.....

    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)

    • @garethbaus5471

    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.

    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!!

    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 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.. 👍🏽
