Well they can if the video is on the knife sharpening playlist at Jknifeimports for example.

I started this thread with a few examples. Perhaps Jon would care to comment on whether or not it's good advice to start sharpening your yanagiba with several minutes of 2 directional sharpening on the ura with a medium grit stone? ****EDIT**** Nevermind I just saw the Korin video which...

Right..and not for me either. the difference is we're not out there TEACHING as though we were some kind of expert.

Have any of you guys seen this youtuber's vids? He has a channel with product comparos and sharpening instructions. The production quality is top notch, the camera angles are super, but the content seems questionable to me. I've only seen a couple, but in that time for example he...

How should I sharpen my filet knives for my upcoming fishing trip? One is a regular el cheapo Rapala 420J I think and the other is a Sanelli (similar to Victorinox). Here's what I have available: Gesshin 400,2k, 8k, Takashima Awasedo Bester 1K, Rika 5k Arkansas soft & surgical black...

What exactly is meant by kitaeji? I always just thought it was Shig's term for pattern welded or 'Damascus'... I find the torsional patterns from Tsukasa Hinoura more visually appealing, is there a functional advantage to the 'Kitaeji' pattern? More labur intensive vs his other style?

Here are some examples of how this styles of knife is used for filleting fish Walleye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkGBk7w5X2I&nohtml5=False Northern pike : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-77Z58OVq0U&nohtml5=False Salmon...

I emailed Wusthof Canada to ask them if there was a difference in the blades between the ones with the bolsters and the ones without. This is the reply I got. Hi Richard, Thanks for your interest In WUSTHOF knives. The stamped (laser cut) knives are 56 Rockwell, the forged knives...

Misono Sweden? The 240 even comes with a funky dragon engraving...and you can get a matching 80mm paring (no dragon on that one) and come in exactly 1$ over budget..

I'm in Thanks for the giveaway and welcome!!

Hi there, I've sent 2 emails over the last month inquiring about the price of a fillet knife similar to the one in your video, and have received no reply. Is [email protected] the correct email address? Happy holidays, Hope all's well...

That Yoshikane is a beautiful knife, but with an HRC of 64 (as per EE website) isn't it too hard to benefit from any kind of rod? Since you don't already have the rod any chance your dad would be willing to take the knife to a finishing stone to maintain the edge instead of a ceramic steel?

Depends on the F&F flaw, mine shipped with a significant burr on the right side of the knife, so much so that when holding the knife edge up with my left hand, I could pick the blade up with my right thumbnail (by the burr)...I found it easy enough to fix by dragging across the edge of a stone...

:plus1: If you do end up with the core set, put the 500 away immediately and don't touch it until you're very comfy with the other 2 stones. In fact, you should probably just start out with the 1200 and practice with that until you feel confident you're holding a consistent angle and...

That core set of stones is all you'll ever need as far as stones go, but you'll need something to flatten them. You can use drywall screen on a flat surface (like a tile) or if your budget allows an extra extra coarse diamond plate is the easiest way. Also just know that the Bester stones...

@#$% !! What do I do?? My block has horizontal slots...Should I aim the edges to the left or the right??? I don't want to get this wrong and mess up all my sharp edges...

I'm not sure why, but I'm able to put a sharper edge on my Semi stainless Heiji than I can on my White #2 Yusuke. I find it weird.

Gyutos are not generally recommend for breaking poultry bones...better keep a beater on hand for those tasks

I was under the impression (wrong perhaps) that the Idahone 1200 was rated on a different scale than JIS...In other words isn't the Idahone alot finer than say a 1200 Bester??
