We had a trip planned to Disneyland with our grandkids so we decided to take a slight detour and visit JB and the gang.
Wed only been there for a few minutes when a lady brought in a knife for resharpening. JB used the horizontal water wheel to establish the bevel and then refined it on the water stones. It was fun watching the master work.
The store had lots of knives and stones. I was very impressed with the amount of time that was spent with each customer helping and educating them. There were people working, people hanging out, customers coming in, it was a busy place.
Our time was short because of heavy traffic getting there and trying to leave before rush hour traffic. Didnt even have time to talk about stones and only got to talk about some of the knives. I really liked the gengetsu semi-stainless with burnt chestnut handles.
There was lots of things to see and talk about that we didnt get to, maybe next time.
Definitely worth the visit. Thanks JB and gang.
