    Your mate seems to be an honest guy and does want to sell the most appropriate knive. Love it, not so many people like that. I have some Haiku knives myself, certainly not top tier, but great for my uses. And I actually enjoy sitting in the sun and sharpen them... it is kind of relaxing.

I always keep them sharp and as you say a sharp knife is far better than a full one.

    Years ago I was "trapped" in Japan due to business. Anyway, although in a hotel, I often missed meals, so I got myself some basic utensils, including a cheap knife (similar to a pairing knife), at a local supermarket - it may even have been a 7-11. Cheap wooden handle, with the laquer coming away now, but I was amazed at how good a knife for peanuts, as it were. I still have it, far better than cheap knives I've occasionally had to get under similar circumstances in the UK (and then binned/recycled). Even had it's own wooden cover to protect the blade.
    If I could afford and justify it, I'd buy more Japanese knives.
    Me too on the audio, I'm quite deaf and this was difficult to follow, although very instructive.

    Everyone seems to be focusing on 3K...it wasn’t for sale, it was also an antique Japanese knife, it wasn’t 3K for a new knife you can walk out of his shop with! He also showed you a collection of ‘affordable’ knives. Understand most of the Japanese knives he’s was showing are handmade, forged, not some mass produced piece of crap you can get anywhere. If you balk at the cost of a handmade knife, they are not for you, off you go to Walmart👍

    • @kit888
      @kit888 Před 4 lety

      Original Damascus steel was hard and sharp, used in Arab swords. Actually made from wootz steel from India. Known to the west via crusader knights who fought the Arabs.
      Current Damascus steel is not wootz. It is popular for its fine wavy pattern, formed by forging different types of steel together. There is no technical advantage.

    It's vg10 tested in a lab :)) (yeah, I took a shaving)....And it's sharp as a razorblade for quite a long time, 1 week :)).
    But yes, I do sharpen it untill I get to the 12000 grit stone (mirror polish at 8 degree angle).
    Can't say that I would need a more expensive knife as long as I know how to take care of a good knife.
    And as he said.....If your 3000$ knife dulls, and you don't know how to bring it back to life, it's just a pretty paperweight.

    I disagree on the back and forth technique on the stone. I have sharpened for years and the blade should always move forward as the reverse action creates a rolled burr. Even though it might be microscopic at 5000 grit the proper way is always blade first .

    • @donbags5542
      @donbags5542 Před 5 lety

      And yet he sliced the paper the way he did...so much for how those rolled burrs impact the actual utility of the knives. Tradition is one thing until you come up with real evidence to the contrary. Then you either embrace change and get wiser or remain mired in your inflexible convictions.

    • @hrhamada1982
      @hrhamada1982 Před 5 lety +1

      it is NOT "too expensive". It's that the skill level of the people making it, the level of design and following process, the love and tradition, are that much better than crummy communist Chinese "look alikes" that make the pricing difference.
      Not everyone needs the level of knives these are, but that does not mean there isn't a BIG difference. Those of us that use them professionally and with training can give our diners a better dish because better knives damage product less in the hands of a knowlegeable user. And those of us that have to use a knife a dozen hours a day need asomething that won't give us fatigue or pain at the end of a shift, a week a month or a career.
      And you do NOT need to spend a ton of money to get a great knife IF you know how to shop well and wisely.
      And harder does NOT mean "better" despite what some marketing companies what to try to make suckers believe.
      The main thing is ASK A person who has to rely on one every day for years. Don't watch the stupid americas test kitchen video, don't believe marketing companies.

      If i take a few eggs a bit of oil some flour and sugar and bake it at qt0 for 15 minutes. Do i have a cake?
      There are some excellent communist chinese knife companies. Ut almost all of them use untrained people that are pushed to cut every corner because produion numbers are all that count and the people they are marketing to wouldnt know the difference if it hit them in the head and there is almost no way to trace the cheating back to the one who did it. And with chinese knives it starts with the steel. They say its japanese steel or german steel but they.made it in china of a similar cormula and clain german or japanesesteel is a formula not the place of origin. Then they let the marketing company aho has plausible deniability complete the misinformation.
      If people there are willing to poison their own children to stretch baby food volume do you think they wont use cheaper steel if they arent caught. The good knife subcontractors in china have a rep from the parent company onsite.
      So if a knife needs to be tempered at 240c for 48 hours and 200 for 12 do you think they wont just do it for 6 hours at 210?
      Then there is what they call hand sharpening. For some it means a worker sticking it in a 2 sided slot. Not ground on a waterwhell for an hour then finished in stones for 20 minutes like a japanese knife.
      There ARE some very good chinese knives. But they are few and far between
