My name is Keith Neal. I am a retired Air Force fighter pilot and also retired from my tax business after the Air Force. I have bought several items from Dave, and learned much from his DVD. (Hey Dave, when is the second set you mentioned coming out?) I am still a beginner at sharpening. I have been working on my Masamoto Janagi for a while, and have it approaching completion.
I look forward to learning a lot in this forum.
Welcome to the forum,Keith. We're practically neighbors.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene".
Welcome Keith!
Welcome Keith!
Hey Keith! Good to have you.
Welcome to the group! I'm a retired Army M-16 pilot!

Welcome!
Shout out to all the military vets! Its been a dream of my since I was 5. If it wasn't for a blood condition I would be right next to all of you.
I need to give credit where it is due. In my original post, I said I was a beginner at sharpening. Actually, I have been sharpening knives (American/German) for fifty years or so, and thought myself quite good at it. Then recently I became interested in Japanese knives and sharpening them, which led to Dave and then to his DVD. It was there that I discovered I hardly knew anything about sharpening knives. So I am a beginner in the real art of sharpening. However, my Masamoto Janagi is coming along nicely, thanks to Dave. And I have to review the video periodically to pick up additional fine points. Very interesting stuff!

Keith, you're in rough shape if my DVD is helping you. LOL
