@1:55 there is clearly a sharpened bevel on the very edge of what appears to be the flat side of what you just said was a chisel ground knife. Is this knife only sharpened on one side or not?
Thank you for your question! The knife is indeed single-beveled (chisel ground), but the flat side has a slight hollow grind (ura) to reduce sticking and make sharpening easier. The "sharpened bevel" you see on the flat side is called uraoshi, a minimal polishing done to ensure the edge is properly aligned and sharp. It’s a normal part of maintaining single-beveled knives
Very helpful. Thank you!
