- This episode is an opportunity to tell you how I got started in the knife game. It began seven years ago with Bob Kramer. This video is an opportunity to share the great story with you. The man took time out of his day to teach me how to sharpen a knife. This is when the love affair began. I'm very grateful to him. I'm sure he does not know who I am. That's OK! I learned so much more since then. This video also has some updates on future events for the channel.

That is an incredible story. I would share that with everybody I know if that happened to me.
Thank you buddy. It was crazy when it happened. You don't even know what to think when he started talking to you. Just an incredibly nice human being.
That's a beautiful story, thanks for sharing ! And thanks for your journey, commitment regarding knives and knife sharpening and sharing that through your videos.
That is a cool story. Most successful people are successful because they are cool people.
I agree
That’s a cool story. I worked for Sur La Table for a short period of time (mostly for the discount haha) and got to meet Bob Kramer. He’s a really nice guy. I wish I could afford one of his handmade knives.
If you are really interested in some serious knife knowledge I highly recommend you speak to Jon Broida from Japanese Knife Imports in Los Angeles. He’s a master sharpener and has a wealth of knife knowledge.
I agree they are awesome
A very cool and inspiring story!
Thank you. I think I just got a little bit lucky.
Great story - great support from Bob!
I’m going to actually send this to him and see if he remembers all this going down. It’s pretty funny. Maybe I can get an invite and go out there. I would love to meet the man officially
@@nadm Good idea!
Great story. Thanks for sharing. Keep sharpening!
Thank you for taking the time out of the day! God bless! I appreciate you watching very much! Hopefully will grow together.
Just discovered your channel. Great stuff. Really enjoyed the Kramer story. Thanks.
Thank you! Truth is stranger than fiction. It was a blessing. We appreciate your support.
That's amazing!
I got lucky. I’ll take it.
I love this. Bob is a great dude. His white 1 ROCKS.
I don’t know anything about that. I’ll have to look into it.
Great story! From what I hear Bob Kramer's knives are top notch, probably never afford one but one can dream.
We both can.
Great video! Please keep producing! I can't wait to see what the future holds on this channel. It's a pleasure to watch how you develop in sharpening and filming. Best regards! ;)
We are all on a journey together. God bless.
That is an amazing story!
Thank you! It was definitely weird when it happened. I would love to say that he is an amazing person. I definitely appreciate him taking the time. Now that I started this channel, I want to reach out and tell him the story. Maybe I can score a trip out there and video And for the channel. We can relive the story together
@@nadm that would be really cool!
Nice story gregory :) and a good single bevel knife is hollow in the middle on the single side. A bad alie knife is not hollow so you can't sharpen it as good but it's still possible but a pain in the bud. And use your inhaler before shooting a vid hope that will help ya getting enough air during your shoots. greatings hansje trala ;) and for you knowledge i only own inexpensive knives ;)
Thank you buddy. Sometimes my enthusiasm makes me cough from my asthma. I get so excited. God bless
Seeing this video now and hearing you where soon 1000 and now you are over 6 thousand thats a good growth mate. Im hoping to break a 1000 myself been at 700 + forever hehe
And if if kramer called me i would probably stutter and sound like a babbling baboon haha
lol heheh
Great story, thanks for sharing it. I bought an entry level Japanese knife from that company you recommended (epicEdge) Nashiji Chef's Knife (Gyuto) - 7 1/4 in. (180mm). Any future videos on sharpening this style knife appreciated. Keep up the good work brother!
So… Mine is not dull yet but I will definitely do that. I love that company. I cannot express enough how much I think you came out the winner. Congratulations and thank you for taking my advice. I will do it at some point but right now just enjoy your night. You should be able to follow along my other video on sharpening on a budget. That will get you through. Man I’m so excited for you!
@@nadm It did arrive sharp, but not as sharp as I envisioned a thin Japanese knife to be. No worries, will keep practicing and learning.
Just one more thing. I just finished sharpening this gyuto on my Norton combo 4k/8k combo waterstone. (Which I've had for 18 years for woodworking use.) Now it's scary sharp. Now I understand why they say these are a pleasure to sharpen. 👍
Hey Greg, what do you think would make someone the best knife sharpener? Is it someone who can get the keenest edge or get a super quick edge the fastest or know the subtleties of every steel and geometry/profile or all of the above? I have heard people say that Takayuki Shibata is the best sharpener in Japan if not the world but what does the "best" even mean?
Hello! I am at work and I am so happy to talk about this. Please let me have the rest of the day to get back to you. I’m so excited to engage in this actual conversation. God bless you and thank you. Please bust my ass if I don’t get back to you tonight. I’m going to be at work until seven and it’ll be late.
I mean this without any arrogance. I think I can get a knife as sharp, if not sharper, than he can. Obviously he gets repeated successful results. His knives come in lasers. Everyone wants him to do the sharpening. I’ve known other people to be just as good. I do think it’s something to be able to do it to every type of steel and to have no scratches and to be polished perfectly. Some people like it to the edge. The Edge should vary according to the task it is designed to perform. The best knife sharpener should probably be someone who can do all of these things
@@nadm Yeah it just got me thinking when i got my knife from him "oh this isn't the sharpest thing I've ever used but supposedly he's the best sharpener" so it got me thinking about what the best sharpener does differently. It's probably just all second nature to the best sharpeners and they don't have to really think too much, they just do and get great results
You used Kramer's name to gain viewers. Not good.
No I didn’t. I am sorry you feel that way. This actually happened. I also think I have grown far beyond what I learned from him. I have only gained 2 subscribers. God can judge me. I know the truth. I am looking for ward to trying to go to his workplace one say after COVID and sharing the story again with him.
