That is an awesome choil shot. Who is the sharpener for these?

Might be Shotaro.

Might be Shotaro.

A response from Miura in the comments of the video...

For Itadaki series knives, all the forging is done by yoshikazu Tanaka, and most of the sharpening is done by Shotaro Nomura, but not all.

Found out the sharpener is likely Ajioka-san.

Not going to lie, that is one of the sexier wide bevel convex grinds I’ve seen… does it work as good as it looks ?

I've never used it. I wouldn't mind trying, tho.
